Compact duplex document scanning with a 100-sheet feeder
40ppm / 80ipm100-sheet ADF600dpi opticalUSB Type-C
The Canon imageFORMULA DR-C340 is a compact A4 desktop scanner for everyday business document capture. A 100-sheet ADF and single-pass duplex scanning support colour and monochrome speeds up to 40ppm or 80ipm at 200/300dpi. This 7291C003 model combines USB Type-C connection, a monochrome display and preconfigured scan jobs with CaptureOnTouch Pro software for supported computer workflows.
Best For: Branch offices, reception desks and small workspaces processing supported loose documents, cards and mixed paperwork.
Before you order: Connect this scanner to a compatible computer and its external power supply. It is not a USB-powered or standalone network scanner. Optical resolution is 600dpi; 1200dpi is an output setting. Confirm required drivers, CaptureOnTouch functions and media settings before use.
What's in the Box
- Canon imageFORMULA DR-C340 scanner.
- USB Type-C cable, supplied according to the Canon Europe brochure.
- Power supply and power cable, corroborated by the distributor package listing.
- A4/passport carrier sheets, Flatbed Scanner Unit 102 and replacement rollers are optional; computer and sample documents are separate.
What It Means in Practice
- Batch scan up to 100 A4 sheets within the applicable 80g/m² capacity condition.

- Use configured CaptureOnTouch Pro jobs for document organisation, OCR and supported destinations.
- Match card, passport and long-document handling to the specified thickness limits and required accessories.
What Will Not Work
- No Ethernet, Wi-Fi or computer-free cloud workflow is established for this exact model.
- USB Type-C identifies the connection; the listed compatible USB host standards do not promise a specific transfer rate.
- Do not feed unsuitable originals simply because their weight is within the general paper range.
- Passports require correct feed settings and thickness limits; the carrier sheet is a separate option.
- Optical detail is 600dpi, and the faster DR-C350 speed ratings do not apply.

Singular Expert Insight
Plan the capture workflow as carefully as the scanner footprint. A large feeder helps regular paper batches, while configured jobs and image processing can simplify filing. Test the real document mix, especially cards or passports, and confirm software and destination requirements on the intended computer.
