U-turn/Straight path options

Feed and eject documents using only the space in front of the scanner with the U-turn path, or use the straight path to scan cards, thick documents, and other documents sensitive to bending. Switching between the document paths based on document type is quick and easy.

Compact and user friendly

The scanner's compact body saves valuable desk space and fits easily on countertops and other narrow spaces. Full front side operability, including the ability to feed and eject documents from the front of the scanner, offers the ultimate in user-friendly scanning.

Card scanning

You can scan plain plastic cards and embossed cards* (e.g., credit cards) alike, and even scan mixed document batches that contain both cards and paper documents. * Up to three plain cards can be scanned at one time. Embossed cards must be scanned one at a time.

Rapid scanning

An improved CMOS contact image sensor unit enables the DR-M140's fast 40 ppm / 80 ipm scanning. Color documents can be scanned just as quickly as in B&W, and double-sided documents are scanned in one pass.

Reliable document feeding

Canon's reliable page separation mechanism provides smooth feeding of a wide variety of document sizes and weights. Features such as Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection and Rapid Recovery further ensure dependability by making sure each and every page of a batch is scanned.

Automatic Color Detection

This function automatically determines which documents of a mixed batch should be saved in color, grayscale or B&W, so it's no longer necessary to separate documents prior to scanning. Auto Page Size Detection  Save the time and trouble of sorting batches by paper size. This function automatically detects the size of each fed document and ensures properly sized images for each page.

Skip Blank Page

Useful for scanning batches that include single- and double-sided documents, this function automatically removes unnecessary blank pages from the image file.

Easy Maintenance

Almost all operations can be performed from the front side of the scanner. The front panels open wide for easy access to replaceable parts and jammed paper. Consumable parts such as the feed roller unit and retard roller are simple and easy to replace.
