Canon's imageFormula RS40 is aimed at home workers that want to digitise their old photo collection as well as business documents. It takes everything from Canon's standard R40 desktop model (see issue 334, p94) and adds extra image-processing functions that enhance photos as they're scanned.
The RS40 is a USB-only device with no network capabilities and claimed speeds of 40ppm for mono scans at 300dpi and 30ppm for colour scans. It works for us as a business document scanner as it sports a 60-page automatic document feeder and claims a 4,000-page daily duty cycle.
Installation is a swift affair.
We ran the single setup utility on a Windows 11 desktop to load Canon's CaptureOnTouch 4 Standard software and TWAIN drivers. Unlike the R40, you don't get the ReadIris Pro 16 OCR software, which supports direct scanning to cloud storage accounts.
CaptureOnTouch simplifies scan operations. Its text document profiles contain settings for colour or mono scans as well as the resolution, and tools for blank page skipping, image rotation and page straightening.
