A Wide Variety of Applicatio s
The P 215 scanner was designed to improve individual productivity anywhere,
from the Small Office/Home Office (SOHO), to large enterprises, to classrooms,
and traveling in between. It can help meet the document capture needs of sta
tionary users and “road warriors” in healthcare, financial services, government,
and many other areas. P 215 scanner users can conveniently execute general
purpose, distributed scanning tasks to maximize business efficiencies.
Compact a d Co ve ie t
At 11 inches long and weighing just over two pounds, the P 215 scanner is able
to incorporate an automatic document feeder (ADF) and card scanner in its sleek
design. Bringing the power of document capture to any workspace, the P 215
scanner also fits easily into a briefcase for easy portability.
Simple to Use
Upon connecting to a PC, the P 215 scanner immediately launches Canon
CaptureOnTouch Lite. This “Plug‐and Scan” capability lets users initiate scan
ning without installing drivers or applications. CaptureOnTouch simplifies
scan tasks by allowing users to pre‐configure scan jobs. It also includes Full
Auto Mode, which, with a single click, adjusts multiple settings to deliver
an optimal scanned image.
Maximum Image Quality
The P 215 scanner includes features such as Character Emphasis to improve the
legibility of hard‐to‐capture documents. The Auto Resolution setting is useful
for scanning mixed batches of documents and photographs while automatically
adjusting the resolution to improve quality and reduce file size. Other image
processing features include Background Smoothing and Shadow Cropping.
