Review: Good Quality and Fair Performance for the Price - I needed something compact to store and use in a small area, but I also wanted something that wasn't overly expensive. This is one of the better scanners I've used. Depending on the paper quality, ink quality, and flatness of the paper, 20 sheets can easily scan through without issue. I found that specific types of paper and ink tend to stick together and did require me to rescan a few pages until I got into the groove of how this scanner performs. The image quality was good. It does have issues scanning colored highlighter on pages; this would not be the model to use if that's a concern. I appreciate the software being in the scanner; it allowed me to very quickly plug in and get scanning. I've used it to scan over 1200 pages of various pages/ink types in a single day. The scans are quick and clear. The double-sided scanning is a game-changer compared to the single-sided flat bed scanner I was using before.
Review: Plays well with M1 Mac Mini - Update 8/2025 -new firmware compatible with MacOs Sequoia - Updated review 8-18-2025: Once I upgraded my Mac Mini to Sequoia, the scanner no longer worked on my Mac and I had to use my Parallels Windows 11 partition to use it (and it was quite awkward about where it’d post the scan). BUT, the good news is when I plugged the scanner in yesterday I was offered an update to the firmware of the scanner (R10_UpdateTool.app) which took 20 minutes to complete. They warn you not to allow your Mac to sleep and not to unplug the scanner during the update process (standard fare for firmware updates). (After I copied the R10_UpdateTool.app to my applications folder I noticed the date on the file was March 18, 2024 (see picture of this attached to this review) which suggests this existed last year but wasn't released until recently? - Odd.) After that it worked perfectly on my Mac again. As before when you plug it in to a USB port on your Mac (or to a powered USB hub attached to my Mac which I tried, and it worked just as well) you get the pop up with the CaptureOnTouch Lite software which appears to be the same as before - dated Mar 30, 2020. Double click on that icon and the scanning interface appears. Select Color/Black & White/Automatic, and you can edit the location where the scanned document(s) are saved. Click SCAN and you’re good to go. I ALMOST bought a new scanner from another company and was very pleased to see the updated firmware offered up. Back to quick double sided quick and good (not excellent) quality scanning. (BTW, I found no mention of this firmware update on Canon’s support website). Thanks for the update, Canon! ------ Prior Review: Once I plugged this in to my Mac Mini (M1) chip, a popup indicated an update was required to work with an M1 computer. After update was completed, there was software "CaptureOnTouch Lite" that was installed on the Mac. Then I just loaded max of 20 pages, and selected my options in the software app, then [SCAN] it quickly scanned (both sides at once) all the documents flawlessly. Then it gives you the option to [SCAN MORE PAGES] so that if you have a document more than 20 pages, it will add them to your first scan so you end up with just 1 PDF in the end. It is very small, light, and portable. At one point after my computer had entered sleep mode, and I then tried to scan additional documents it said "DRIVER NOT FOUND" - I rebooted the Mac and it was back to scanning documents again. Duplex scanning and the simplicity of the scanning interface (and high quality scans) make this a sure fire winner. Addendum: I plug the scanner into a USB A port on my Mac Mini - I have not tried it on a USB hub, but would suspect it’d be less reliable through a hub.

### ⭐ 0-Stars Canon PoS Scanner - avoid this one.
*by A***R on May 8, 2025*

I am sure others will sing this thing's praises, but as far as I am concerned, it is the worst piece of equipment I have practically ever encountered. It either does not engage with the pages at all, or else it swallows the stack whole. Should it accidentally feed 2 or 3 pages in sequence ("auto document feed", right?), they will inevitably be skewed - I have yet to have it feed a single page through in good alignment. The hardware is bad. The software is worse. It is built-in. There is mention of using it "if you do not have a scanner driver," but there is no hint of a scanner driver to download. Granted, I am a Mac user, but the website makes it appear that it is plug-and-play. Not. (Website shows an older launch screen. Of course.) I am trying to replace an old MX922 that served me wonderfully until the ADF started jamming. Not sure what I'm going to do. I bought a car recently, and the finance guy must have scanned about 100 pages in 3 seconds flat with his nifty scanner. Wish I had one of those, but I just don't have the volume in my retiree's home office to justify it. Guess you get what you pay for. Except in this instance you don't. You pay and you get something headed for the landfill. I wanted to share a video, but there's nothing to see. I couldn't get it to work for the video. Bah
