Where it shines is in those scenarios that involve emailing scanned documents alongside saving them to a local folder and on the cloud. The default CaptureOnTouch tool is simple yet has sufficient features to satisfy business workflows. What we especially liked was the bundled applications that cover conventional scanning tasks, OCR and even business card capture. It lacks networking, making attachment to a host computer a necessity in using it, but in every other respect, it's an excellent choice for those that want to dip their toes in document imaging without overspending. The Canon ImageFORMULA R40 scanner is a handy document scanner ideal for one-off projects or more serious regular document imaging.
