Construction professionals are frequently on-the-go, requiring them to have technology tools that are adaptable to their busy schedules.
To that end, Canon U.S.A., www.usa.canon.com, Melville, N.Y., a provider of digital imaging solutions, has introduced the imageFORMULA P-208II Scan-tini personal document scanner, the latest addition to the company’s line of Scan-tini portable document scanners.
Ideal for stationary users and “road warriors” in construction, professional services, financial services, healthcare, and other areas, the P-208II scanner provides general purpose scanning of various items, including receipts, business cards, photographs, bills, contracts, reports, letters, and plastic cards. The scanner can be moved from location to location as easily as it moves paper-based information to Windows and Mac devices.
Powered by a single USB cable when connected to a computer, the P-208II scanner helps reduce cable clutter and allows for a quick scanning process. Users benefit from its small, lightweight size and flexibility to scan items with ease, while fitting into a briefcase or bag for easy portability.
The P-208II scanner allows users to plug-and-scan without installing drivers or applications. Additionally, a single click can automatically adjust multiple feature settings to deliver the P-208II’s highest quality image possible.
The bundled Canon CaptureOnTouch software enables users to configure routine scanning jobs for quick and easy one-touch access. It can also send scanned images directly to third-party cloud applications. It also is bundled with ISIS and TWAIN drivers for integration with third-party capture or content management systems.
The P-208II scanner is capable of scanning both sides of an item at the same time, in color or in black and white, as well as a wide variety of document types, including thick or thin documents, plastic or embossed cards, and long documents. An optional wireless capability broadens connectivity options.
When combined with the optional WU10 Wireless Adapter and Battery Pack, sold separately, the scanner not only works wirelessly in Windows and Mac environments, but also with iPad, iPhone, iPod touch and Android mobile digital devices using the free downloadable Canon CaptureOnTouch Mobile app.
The P-208II scanner includes features such as text enhancement to help improve text legibility of hard-to-scan documents. When scanning mixed batches of documents and photographs, the scanner can automatically adjust the resolution to help improve image quality and reduce file size. Other features include the ability to optimize images of scanned photographs, and OCR (optical character recognition) to help convert paper-based documents into a searchable text document that can be easily stored and shared.
