Canon imageFORMULA DR-M140II — Compact A4 Departmental Scanner
A departmental desktop scanner built to save space without giving up speed. The DR-M140II scans at 40 ppm / 80 ipm in colour and mono from an 80-sheet feeder, and Canon rates it for 6,000 to 8,500 scans a day. It takes everyday office paper, receipts, business and plastic cards, and documents up to 5,588 mm long, with ultrasonic double-feed detection to catch a misfed page before it goes missing from the batch. Its small footprint is designed to sit under a counter or inside a drawer.
Quick Glance
Key Features
40 ppm / 80 ipm with ultrasonic double-feed detection
Colour and mono scan at the same rated speed, and an ultrasonic sensor stops the batch the moment two sheets try to feed together, so a missed page is caught at the scanner instead of found later in the archive.
Small enough for a drawer or under a counter
Closed, the DR-M140II measures 313 x 181 x 93 mm — a footprint built for offices where desk space is tight. It still takes receipts, business and plastic cards, and long documents up to 5,588 mm via the straight-through path.
Built with more than 20% recycled materials
Canon states the DR-M140II is made from over 20% recycled materials with environmentally friendly packaging, and it draws 0.1 W or less when powered off — a low-impact choice for a scanner left plugged in all day.

Need-to-Know
The DR-M140II is the entry point into Canon's departmental DR-M line; the models above it trade a larger footprint for a bigger feeder and faster duty cycle.
- USB only — there is no network or Wi-Fi connection on this model. It scans to the single computer it is plugged into.
- Canon's specification page for the DR-M140II lists Windows software only (ISIS / TWAIN Driver, CaptureOnTouch Pro). No Mac driver is published for this model — ask us to confirm before you order if you need Mac support.
- Cards and stock heavier than the U-turn path's 128 g/m² limit, plus long documents, must go through the straight-through path.
- The A4 (102) and A3 (202) flatbed units are optional accessories sold separately — the scanner itself is sheet-fed only.
| Model | Scan speed (mono) | Feeder | Daily duty cycle |

Choose the DR-M140II when desk space is the constraint, the DR-M160II or DR-M260 for a higher daily volume, and the DR-S250N when you need network scanning without a dedicated PC scanner.
