Worst Wifi Scanner I've Ever Seen!

Purchased three weeks ago for a reputable five star reseller. No damage on delivery, installed according to box instructions, worked fine for 'three whole days,' then the wifi just quit. No problem with my modem, the scanner software would not reload under any conditions, despite following Canon's website instructions. The software is junk! DO NOT BUY!!!

from print to digital

I love that I can use this scanner to put all my documents into the digital world so I can get it quicker and easier. I hate having to go look for all my documents in all of my file cabinets this makes it so I can pull it up all in one spot. The scans look good and its easy to use. I am also loving that it doesn't take up a bunch of space on my desk. This is also helpful for my sanity, The town I lived in lost 3000 homes to a wild fire and many of my friends had to go through a year long process to recover all of their paperwork. The idea of having a paper document and a digital makes me feel secure and safe.

Slow on instructions

I have search the Canon site, google, you tube for any instructions, tutorial and found absolutely NOTHING! I found lots of short clips telling about all the "features" but nothing about how to use them. I am very disapponted in this product. According to the comments on all the places I did find, I am not the only one.

Great at home scanner

I bought this for my home office and it?s great. It does the job and doesn?t take up too much space on my desk. I would recommend this product to my family and friends. It?s able to handle mixed-size documents and that?s huge for what I needed it for.

Good printer

I found this printer to be very dependable and easy to operate. From the box, to the easy set up, to printing in all most no time at all. I am pleased with the printing results. I recommend this printer to everyone.

Great scanner and printer. I?ve been using this for a couple weeks and it hasn?t failed yet. The quality of the scans and copies is great. Also doesn?t use a ton of ink. Would recommend to anyone looking for a compact scanner and printer.

Nice product

The Canon imageFormula R50 office document scanners works great. I love how you can scan double-sided documents and convert them to PDF format. The install was quick and easy. You should be up and running in about 20 minutes.

Great office addition

Strip tub The stripping paste is easy to use. The first thing to note is the citrus scent. It can be used indoors. That makes it very convenient. You can refinish in place with a few drop cloths. If you are working with heavy, bulky items that makes all the difference in the world. It stays in place so you can use vertically without all the product dripping off. It remains wet do you can work it into all the areas. You have time to apply. It is best left on for 24 hours so that it can remove up to five layers of latex. It works best on wood I think, but also works on metal and masonry. It reports to be used for latex and oil-based paint, varnish, lacquer, polyurethane and shellac. I suspect it works best on latex. Over all it is a great product. This is a strong product .You should use it in a well ventilated area always. It works very quickly. In 15 minutes it worked very well. It works on wood, metal, concrete and masonry. It removes so many paints and varnishes and other products. Search their website for the exact products that are indicated. It is very, strong. Be sure to follow all This is the larger of the series but it is very compact for use in a small business or home office.The touchscreen allows you to control documents easily. This document scanner scans both sides of a document at the same time. That is a time saver.This product may be used with many document types. I love using it for receipts. Since they are many sized receipts, organizing them is a tax time delight. Editing documents is easy as well. The software updates automatically to keep your business on top. It scans faster and more consistently than my current scanner. It also is great with less than pristine documents. The interface works seamlessly to allow you to run your business from your phone. Overall it is a plus for any office environment.

Makes important paper organized

This document scanner has really been a game changer for me. I'm usually the one who stores papers in a drawer very unorganized and always has to dig through them to find anything. This document scanner has been able to help me get all my paper worked scanned and put into a file on my computer where it can be shared and saved as I please. This allows me to always have the paper work without having the paper cluttered drawer. The scanner is very easy to use and can be connected through wifi or USB cable. The whole set up from the box process took about 30 minutes and I was ready to start scanning documents.

I am so glad I got this scanner! I use it for work to scan my receipts for reimbursement. Quick set up, easy to use and it takes very clear images of my documents to send in. It really beats using the flag bed scanner I use to use.

Excellent Scanner!

This document scanner is a must-have for anyone. This scanner has some excellent functions. It has double-sided scanning, mixed-size scanning, and even scans plastics such as driver licenses and work cards. The scanner also automatically straightens skewed documents, automatically recognizes text orientation, and skips blank pages. One of the best features for me is that it creates searchable PDFs. I am always searching for keywords in my documents for work. The scanner is small, so it does not take up much desk space. Lastly, this scanner scans fast. I cannot believe how fast it is. I cannot keep up with it sometimes. It scans the documents faster than it can feed them in the tray.

Very helpful

I am so super duper happy ever since I knew I am getting this product, cuz I am thinking, atlast I can make my work more easier and faster now. My husband is working from home and he has to scan so many documents everyday that we get to the point where it gets old especially when our old scanner is working up and we have to be patient always. Luckily we finally got the imageFORMULA R50 Office document Scanner and believe me it definitely made our life more easier and productive! All the features are easy to navigate, and easy to use! I couldn't ask for more, this is a life saver product!

So convenient

I?m so impressed with the Image Formula scanner. It has made my life so much easier. Having all my receipts and invoices so easily uploaded is a game changer. Wether it?s for office or household use. The ease of operation is amazing and a huge plus is the size and input of any item you need scanned. It takes up less space than my older traditional scanner too

It works!

I really needed this thing to scan a really large amount of documents and was looking for an inexpensive way to do that versus going somewhere and paying a service and this was exactly what I needed. It works fantastic and really happy with it. I would highly recommend it anybody who has to scan one document or 1000 documents.

fast scanning

This document scanner is super fast and very detailed with color and all. It works great for uploading documents and then shredding the documents so that you don't have to deal with paper as much but rather keep files. Also works good for uploading pictures. Has lots of extra features that I probably won't even use.

I like that it's so easy to use from my computer or from the scanner. You also have so many options for the way that you would like to receive the scan. I would recommend.

Excellent Scanner

This Canon office document scanner comes with the scanner unit, an AC power adapter, a USB cable and a set up guide. The scanner is simple to set up and easy to use. It features a 4.3 inch color touch screen to select scan destinations and to configure settings. It connects to the computer using the USB cable or through the wifi network. The scanner scans pretty fast and can scan both the sides of a document at the same time. It is very efficient when scanning a large amount of documents. It can scan all sizes of documents including regular size documents, business cards, receipts, ID cards, passports, etc and convert them to digital files. The included scanning software can also enhance scanned text, rotate images, straighten images and adjust output resolution. Overall, this is an excellent scanner that is great for home and office use.

This is a really nice and quick document scanner. Set up was quick and easy and I was scanning documents in minutes. Scanning is accurate and lightning fast and has automatic alignment to make sure everything looks square. Saving documents to a computer is simple and easy to create new folders to store them. This has made document organization easy.

Phenomenal

The imageFORMULA R50 Office Document Scanner is beyond any scanner I've owned. The setup was easy with a download from the internet.Well, it is the best document scanner I have ever used. Single pass through to do 2 sided documents. Lightning fast and clear pdf files. Easy setup, easy use. First document I realized that you put the documents in face down top of page to feeder. But super easy to move pages around if anything was out order when you scan it. I highly recommend the CanonUSA - imageFORMULA R50 Office Document Scanner

Works Great!

I received this and immediately tried it out. I have lots of 3 ring binders full of sheet music that I have been wanting to convert to PDF format for use with my iPad. This allowed me to scan multiple pages at once, speeding up the transferring to digital format faster than just one at a time. Works fast, easy to setup. Extremely pleased with this unit.

Easiest scanner to set up

The Canon R50 desktop scanner is a very robust, easy to use scanner. Packaged well and easy to get setup and ready to go. The instructions were short and to the point. I like that I didn't have to read a book to get this setup. I have setup and worked with a LOT of desktop scanners of various brands and this is by far the easiest scanner I have ever configured. Navigate to site included in instructions, download software, install, power on, select interface and you are ready to scan. I elected for the WIFI option as this is the most convenient option. However, the USB option was equally as easy to use if needed. The software walks you through the wireless setup as well as the large touch screen on the device. The CaptureOnTouchv4 software was very intuitive and easy to use out of the box with a couple preconfigured single/double sided options. A visible edit button allows you to edit the default options or you can quickly add a new button option. New button option offers a custom option or you can copy the built in options. The quick edit settings allow for most of the basic options you would need as far as single/double, DPI, skew correction and automatic detection options. There is an advanced section that has more options than I have ever needed when scanning documents. If you expand the left hand pane, you can adjust the output options such as scan to email, cloud drive options, local storage, and plenty more. This scanner is very fast on the 200dpi settings and you can really churn through a lot of documents with the 60 page capacity. Even the 600dpi setting is faster than I expected it to be. Overall, this is a fantastic product that offers a great setup experience, large touchscreen, and plenty of features.

User friendly!

I own my own business and I struggle to keep up with all the paperwork - not to mention how much room it takes up! I was impressed with what this document scanner offered, but was pretty intimidated at the same time because I am not too computer savvy. First of all, this scanner is pretty small considering what all it does- it easily fits on my office counter with room to spare, which is great. It looks slick and fits in nicely. Everything that is needed comes in the box- AC adapter, USB cord, power cable as well as the setup guide. The setup guide was amazing for me- it was easy to read and covers everything you could image. If I can set this bad boy up, anyone can! You literally just plug the scanner in, download the software, load your documents and voila'- you are done! Easy peasy! Paper documents are loaded in the top and can be aligned to fit your specific size paper if needed- you can even upload business cards! Everything scans quickly and ends up in the eject tray below and uploaded to your computer. Genius I love this scanner and I am so thankful to have found this for my business! I love the size, quality and ease of use- I have completely uploaded all of my business documents in just a few days - when I had extra time.

I enjoyed using this scanner, it has helped significantly with working from home. I received this product for a review but I think it is worth the price for improving my productivity.
