Canon DR-M260: Scan mixed paperwork at up to 60 ppm

Handling a paper stack one sheet at a time makes routine digitising slow. The Canon imageFORMULA DR-M260 is a desktop sheet-fed scanner rated for up to 60 pages per minute and 120 images per minute. Its integrated processor takes scanning work off the connected PC, so it’s suited to offices and customer-facing desks that process documents in batches. Use it for everyday paperwork, then switch to credit cards, passports or long documents when a job calls for something beyond standard sheets. The scanner accepts media from 27 to 413 g/m², covering a notably broad range of paper weights for a compact desktop unit. Duplex scanning captures both sides of a page, and its passport and A4 carrier sheets are included. That combination gives the DR-M260 a wider role than a scanner limited to ordinary office pages. The honest trade-off is that this is a sheet-fed scanner: it’s made for feeding documents, not for scanning books or loose objects on a flat glass bed. For batches of mixed paperwork, its speed, document handling and compact footprint are the points to weigh up.

Highlights

• Duplex scanning: Capture the front and back of a sheet in one pass. That’s useful for two-sided forms and records, where scanning each side separately would add handling time.
• Broad media-weight range: The DR-M260 accepts media from 27 to 413 g/m². This range accommodates light sheets as well as much heavier stock, so batches need not be limited to standard office paper.
• Ultrasonic double-feed detection: The scanner can detect when two pages feed together, a useful safeguard when a missed sheet would leave a gap in a digital document.
• Double-feed release button: A dedicated release control is provided for double-feed situations. It gives the operator a direct way to handle a detected feed issue at the scanner.
• 600 dpi optical resolution: A CMOS CIS line sensor and RGB LED light source support scans at up to 600 dpi. That resolution provides detail for legible digital copies of documents.
• Compact desktop footprint: The scanner measures 285 × 180 × 178 mm with its trays closed, and weighs approximately 3.6 kg. It can be placed on a desk without the footprint of a larger floor-standing document system.

Good to know

The DR-M260 supports multiple file formats, with network and SharePoint integration also available. Canon’s CaptureOnTouch tools and Kofax VRS are included. These software and integration features are relevant when scanned documents need to fit into an existing capture or sharing workflow; the scanner is not limited to saving files locally in a single format. USB 3.1 Gen 1 is the listed interface for connecting the scanner.
