  • Great photo scanner
Great for pictures and word documents. We have lots of boxes of pictures, mostly 4x6, but some scattered sizes. This machines takes the stacks of pictures, obout 20-30 at a time with no problem. It’s jammed a few times after 4 bins of pictures (2,000 pictures). The computer app is easy to use, either to rotate pictures, or to put them in their folder. I also made various folders for documents that I scan. Adjusting the image quality is easy for each document type, ( picture, receipt, etc) It’s worth the money. And I think it scans fast, even for high quality pictures. ... show more

  • Excellent, Versatile Scanner
This is by far one of the best scanners I’ve ever owned. Previously I said that about my ScanSnap scanner, but this Canon is a step up. You can assign presets for various types of scans and outputs (Word, PDF, JPG, PNG, and more), and choose from a variety of resolutions as well, up to 1200 dpi for photos, which is fine for simply archiving stacks of old photos you might have laying around. You also can assign different folders for the presets as well which means you don’t need to go searching for where the scan might end up on your computer. It even plays well with USB drives and portable hard drives. On the physical machine itself you merely toggle between any one of 3 presets and it automatically scans according to your preset parameters. But you’re not limited to only 3 presets. You can set up more within the software and simply choose one of those options for scanning. I put a stack of old photos into the feeder tray and they went through flawlessly, no jams, nothing missed. There are scanning services out there that may charge up to 50 cents per scanned photo. Granted, they may be scanning at higher resolutions, but like I said, if your goal is to finally get those stacks of old photos simply digitized, this is a perfect solution. I have over a thousand photos in boxes and boxes, so it won’t take long for this scanner to pay for itself. As a bonus, they include a pouch where you can place odd sized or really old or even dog-eared or damaged photos to help preserve the photo and ease the scanning process. Pros Solidly built Small footprint Configurable presets Handles stacks of photos with ease Easy set up and installation Cons Slight learning curve when setting presets ... show more

  • Excellent multipurpose scanner.
The bottom line: I’m very pleased with my purchase, I’m wishing I had bought this long ago; it is an excellent multipurpose scanner. As a document scanner, easy 5 stars. As a photo scanner, the “Photoshop” capabilities are inferior to the Epson. If there were no Epson, I’d give this 5 stars instead of 4. There are two parts to a scanner: the machine and the software. I enjoy using good tools and the machine is fast, handles a large variety of sizes (important for photos), any length of document (important for legal papers), and its very easy to clean. It also scans both sides at the same time, not need to turn something over and scan again. I've run old Polaroids, stacks of twenty photos through it, long real estate documents, drivers license (thick and stiff), many sizes of photos. Occasionally I get a jam or double feed but the machine stops so quickly that nothing has been ruined. Very nice machine and an amazing time saver compared to a flat bed scanner. I’ll describe the software in two parts as well. The interface and the image correction. The interface has a small learning curve. First you have to make a click-on decision: document, or 1-sided or 2-sided photo. Next you click-on decide where you want the scanned image to go, the Output. It comes with multiple options. The factory options can be deleted and you can also create new “Output”. The weakness of the software is that it doesn’t use pop-up windows to give an image a name a select the scan to location. You have manually open your “Output” choice if you want to change the image name and/or location. After you review/change those options, you must close the “Output” and click on “Scan”. I’d prefer that when you click on the “Scan” button a popup you show you the name and destination. If you’re not changing any settings, there’s a “SCAN” button on the machine; load you item press scan, and the image goes to the last location with the same name last used with a number appended (001, 002, etc.). This also means if you want to name your photos individually, you must go through the edit process for each photo; but I suspect that is common to all makes of scanners. The software has imperfect correction capabilities. Based on real user reviews, EPSON sets the gold standard. I’ll suggest that Epson won’t be able to surpass the RS40 on document scanning; only better for photos. The two sided scanning isn’t as good as Epson either. It scans both sides of photos even if there’s only a “Kodak” imprint on the back of the photo. So if your goal is to get the “cost is no object” photo scanner, I suggest you double the cost of the Cannon RS40 and buy the Epson FastFoto FF-680. ... show more

  • BE PREPARED FOR FREQUENT HEADACHES & TIME WASTED
This Canon RS40 scanner is a constant headache. It's prone to freeze ups & error messages, failures to load the driver (even after driver was loaded & scanner for working awhile), unexplained rerouting of your photos to nowhere. One problem after another. Beyond that, the quality of scanned photos is very poor, even at 400 or 600 dpi. It is fast & may be worth it for scanning documents if you can keep it going, but NOT FOR PHOTOS. I've talked to the Canon support techs six times. Five of those times, the tech helped me get it working for awhile tho only once did the fix allow me to set the properties for the scanned photos. But then the next time I try to use it, it can't load the driver or the scanned photos don't go to the designated folder, or the scanner jams. Over $300 down the drain. I hate to even try selling it & passing on this lemon to someone else. So disappointed. ... show more
