What differentiates a production scanner from a ‘regular’ scanner? Production scanners, available in A4 or A3 sizes have the capacity for very large daily outputs, without sacrificing quality or wearing out the machine. They have large automatic document feeders (ADFs) that can generally handle over 100 sheets, plus very quick scanning speeds of or over one page a second to efficiently handle high volume batch scanning.
An automated production scanning system ensures high-speed, high-quality imaging with several time-saving benefits:
- Fewer people handling paper documents
- High speed, accurate capture of vital information, with less time spent on quality assurance and rescanning of documents
- Faster access to stored information
A production scanner such as this Canon imageFORMULA DR-G2110 model can help businesses improve productivity, maintain continuity, increase efficiencies and securely manage information.
Whether you are tackling large projects like digitizing an entire existing archive of paper documents or scanning all incoming daily mail to PDFs, the right production scanner is ideal for many uses, such as:
- Processing large amounts of multisize documents
- Mission-critical applications including Enterprise Content Management and Records Management
- Back file conversion
- Centralized / back-office production scanning environments
- Archiving or disaster recovery
Production Level Scanning Means Flexibility, Reliability and High Performance

Choosing the right production scanning device for your business starts with asking the right questions about your scanning workflow: from volume, to paper needs, to document capture and image enhancement features you need to use, to how many people will need to have access to the scanner, to what equipment you may already have. You’ll also want to take into consideration data on the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the proposed scanner, including any maintenance charges and projected consumable purchases.
