Canon P-215 Ultra-compact Document Scanner

There's no need for any unwieldy power cables with the P-215, as it conveniently runs off the computer's USB port. The stylish and compact design is not only visually appealing, but also contains useful features such as CaptureOnTouch Lite plug-and-scan operation, one-pass duplex scanning, a built-in card scanner, and Windows and Mac compatibility. Whether you are in the office or on the go, the multi-purpose P-215 will have you covered.

High-speed one-pass scanning

High performance scanning is made possible through a class-leading 20-sheet automatic document feeder for super quick one-pass duplex scanning at up to 15 ppm/30 ipm in color or black-and-white.

Compact and portable

A compact and light body that weighs a mere one kilogram and measures just 285 x 95 x 40 mm ensures that the P-215 can be easily taken along to just about anywhere. Whether it's at the office, at home, on the road or anywhere in between, the P-215 redefines compactness for A4-size document scanners with an automatic document feeder (ADF).

USB powering

The P-215 draws power from a single USB port, eliminating the need for a dedicated power cable and reducing clutter around the scanner. The scanner will perform at the maximum scanning speed via a single cable when connected to a USB 3.0* port.
*Power Supply only

Card scanning

A front-facing switch back card slot on the P-215 enables you to scan plastic-type cards by simply inserting them into it.

Full Auto Mode

Simple scanning is made possible with the Full Auto Mode, where optimum scan settings are automatically selected based on the type of document. It saves you time and effort by automatically discarding blank pages (Skip Blank Page), straightening images of documents scanned at an angle (Deskew), determining whether to save scanned images in color (Auto Color Detection), detecting the page size of a document (Auto Size Detection), determining the scanning resolution (Automatic Setting of Resolution), and rotating images to the correct text orientation (Text Orientation).
