Canon USA launches yet another workgroup scanner on DR-Series line, the imageFORMULA DR-3010C Compact Workgroup Scanner.  The DR-3010C features high speed scanning and advanced sensor technology for flexible and  reliable document handling work flow efficiency. It has an optical resolution of 600 dpi and an estimated daily scan volume 3,000 (who is scanning that much daily?).

“The Canon DR-3010C scanner enables small/medium businesses and large enterprises alike to decentralize or distribute document capture closer to the work itself,” said Jim Rosetta, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A. “Companies that select the DR-3010C will have access to a fast, reliable and easy-to-use tool to better address their mission-specific or ad-hoc scanning needs, creating more productive workgroups.”
