Flexible Operation

The P-208 scanner is capable of scanning both sides of an item at the same 
time, in color or black and white. It can handle a wide variety of document 
types, including thick or thin documents,

**

 and plastic or embossed cards. 

This scanner can also handle long documents

**

 and detect when double-

feeds occur to help ensure that no data is lost.
An optional wireless capability broadens connectivity choices. When com-
bined with the optional WU10 Wireless Adapter and Battery Pack, the scanner 
not only works wirelessly in Windows and Mac environments, but also with 
iPad

®

, iPhone

®

, iPod touch

®

and Android™ devices using 
the free downloadable Canon 
CaptureOnTouch Mobile app.

Robust Features

For maximum image quality, the P-208 scanner includes features to help 
improve legibility. The Auto Resolution setting is useful for scanning mixed 

batches of documents and photographs, automatically adjusting the resolution 
to improve image quality. Other features include the ability to optimize 
images of scanned photographs, and Optical Character Recognition (OCR), 
to help convert paper-based documents into digital information that can 
easily be searched, stored, and shared.

Environment in Mind

program. It also meets ENERGY STAR

®

 guidelines for energy efficiency and 

complies with the EU RoHS and WEEE directives for reduction of hazardous 
substances and waste products.
