Works Great with My Mac
Had to upgrade my scanner to work at home since my old one was no longer supported on the Apple OS platform. This scanner works great and is very quick. Hoping it stays supported for a long time!

Twain Driver issues
I am not happy with this scanner so far, I have to reload the Twain Driver over and over again. I have windows 10 and it's new enough it should work with it. Its frustrating to the point that even though this unit is not even 1 year old yet I am researching another brand.

Great little worker
I needed a scanner for both photos and documents that would work with my Mac. This one does great. Only issue was I had to find new drivers to make it work. I pray that Canon will keep making drivers for iOS and make a WiFi version.

Great until the software doesn't work anymore
stopped scanning with CaptureTouch software. Keeps saying cannot find scanner, check power and cables but they are fine. Can't find any info on how to fix the issue.

Nice Scanner
This scanner does i's job efficiently but is not entirely user friendly, as you have to go in and manually change all of the set functions every time you need a different setting. Otherwise it is fast and functional.

Soooo much better than scanning on the copy machine
I love this scanner. I used to have to scan mail/letters on the copy machine, which meant scanning one page at a time to accommodate pages of different sizes. This scanner makes it so much easier - I can just put everything in (envelope too) and it scans both sides in seconds. It saves me a ton of time.

Love it
I bought this about 4 years ago for my MAC and I still love it. Today I tried to use my scanner and it said that "R40.ds" is damaged so I couldn't use my scanner. I called Canon support. The support desk person was really patient and nice and walked me through the proper steps! So glad that I called. My scanner is working fine now

Great scanner!
This was my first high capacity scanner (I had only used printer scanners previously). I love this scanner! It has made document retention a heck of a lot easier for me. The scan quality is great, the speed is great and the feeder tray capacity works great for my needs.

Worked well with Windows 10 but not Windows 11
It worked well before we got a new Windows 11 PC. Now it says "Problem with TWAIN Driver"
1. Reinstalled driver a number of times - no difference
2. Canon website gives server error when tried to download latest driver, which is 6 months old anyway.
3. even after reinstalling to the newer driver, it still doesn't connect and gives errors. Apparently, Canon's softwar...

I bought this scanner for a big project a few weeks ago (I needed to scan documents at work for a few hours everyday, and it works great for what I need to get done. The scanner is really easy to use, and the features are great for what I am doing. I just have one problem with it; the scanner makes a high pitched noise that begins to give me a headache after using it fo...

Fantastic device with great features
We intended to use this only as a document scanner, but found that it can also be used to send faxes and documents much smoother than our actual scanner/copier/fax machine.
As far as scanning documents, the device is quick and relatively quiet (not any louder than a standard all-in-one printer device). It pulls the documents through at a reasonably good speed.

LOVE LOVE LOVE
I absolutely LOVE this scanner! It can differentiate between portrait and landscape and single and double sided all in the same package! After it scans the app will let you rearrange the pages. Pulls the sheets through evenly, pages are rarely crooked. This scanner is 1,000% better than any HP I've ever used. My colleagues are envious and are now purchasing ones fo...

So easy!
This makes my old scanner seem like a dinosaur! I love it! Extremely easy to set up straight out of the box. Works fast, and gets the job done. Not overly bulky so it works just fine in my home office. More than happy with this!

Great scanner
This Canon image FORMULA R40 is a great desktop document scanner. It’s small and doesn’t take much place on the desk. Setup is simple and quick. I use it with my Mac with no issues. It makes working at home much easier.

I have a stack problem. Stacks of Christmas Cards, stacks of mail, stacks of documents.... just stacks. When I saw this scanner I immediately thought that this might be able to help me with my "stack" problem. And it has! I absolutely love the high volume features of this scanner. I'm able to drop a stack of documents into the scanner and just let it rip. From the...

Quick & easy
Wow! I feel so organized! I had boxes and boxes of documents. I was unable to find documents I needed quickly and efficiently. This was a lifesaver. I feel all ease that I have another “copy” filed in case something happens to the documents. It is super easy to set up- directions are clear. This is great for work or home. It’s something you don’t think you need - but yo...
