Canon ditched the traditional flat base scanner design and experimented with it new imageFORMULA scanner DR-C225W. Whether you want to save space or looking for a scanner that can easily fit into tight space, this will suit your needs.

Stand mode scanner to save space
It can stand on your desk easily as like a file holder and take quite a little space, making it useful even for small work environments where you can set it up anywhere. Its vertical U- turn Path transport system can easily scan various types of documents with two ejection path. U-turn path scans and eject standard paper documents without using additional space. And if you are scanning thick documents, driving license, ID card etc, then simply switch easily by flipping the lever.
