Canon is Back in Black and ready for Mac!

Canon has always analyzed work environments to identify needs of workflow efficiency. Mac work environments are quickly growing, which in turn creates a need for document imaging. To fill this need in a Mac environment, Canon is back in black with the DR-2010M and DR-2510M.

Both scanners have the following abilities:

• Simple-to-use Apple Mac-compatible hardware, including one-touch scanning.


• A variety of bundled software to offer complete end-to-end capture solutions.


• High-quality imaging to precisely capture content true to its original form and enable more efficient document indexing and retrieval.


• Fast scanning speeds in both color and black & white maximize document throughput.


• Compact and convenient design enables easy installation of scanning hardware at the point of document origination to increase productivity and automate workflows.


• Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection (DR-2510M only)

There is some remaining inventory on these products, however, supplies are very limited and orders will be fulfilled on a first come, first ship basis.

After they finish mourning their loss, current fans of these scanners can find similar functionality by transitioning to the DR-2510C scanner.
