Canon unveils ultraportable scanner for mobile workers

28th November 2012| Category: Technology News

Canon has announced new cloud-connected portable scanners. These will not only help end users who have employees that work outside of the office, but this is also a strong commercial product for partners.

Aimed at mobile workers and home users the imageFormula P-208, a double sided scanning device, is a USB powered scanner, weighing only 600g. Despite being small in size, the P-208 will offer features such as automatic document feeding, and will easily connect to both Mac and Windows based-hardware, without the need for driver installation.

The scanner will also support EMC Captiva Cloud, which Canon has said will enable enterprises, software vendors and VARs to develop custom cloud-based scanning applications. A software development kit will also be made available to partners to integrate the embedded CaptureOnTouch software. Canon has been expanding its cloud functionality in order to support the trends in remote working.

Canon said that its partners can help increase profits with its own WU10 wi-fi unit, which enables customers to quickly share scanned documents with smartphones and tablets via a free app.

Sean Suematsu, European Document Scanning Solutions Director at Canon Europe, said that the growing portfolio of cloud-enabled products aimed at use by mobile customers offers its channel partners a way to increase sales.

The imageFormula P-208 will be available in the UK & Ireland through Canon its distribution partners across Europe from January 2013.

With the Canon imageFormula P-215 being so popular, this has helped Canon’s channel partners establish the market for high-quality, high-performance document capture on the go.

We hold the view that as the cloud seems the way forward these developments are a natural step in order to convert the growing demand for ultra-compact and powerful portable scanners into sales.
