Canon imageFORMULA DR-M260 — Slender High-Speed Departmental Scanner
A slim, contemporary desktop scanner for busy customer-facing and back-office environments. The DR-M260 scans at 60 ppm / 120 ipm in colour and mono from a 90-sheet feeder, and Canon rates it for 7,500 to 13,000 scans a day. A new on-board DR processor takes the load off the PC, and a five-line LCD panel makes day-to-day operation straightforward. It handles media from 27 g/m² up to 413 g/m², plus credit cards, passports and long-form documents.
Quick Glance
Key Features
60 ppm / 120 ipm with a new on-board DR processor
The new processing chip takes the strain off the PC, delivering 60 ppm in black and white and 60 ppm in full colour from a 90-sheet feeder rated for 7,500 to 13,000 scans a day.
Slim, modern design for customer-facing counters
Closed, the DR-M260 measures 285 x 180 x 178 mm, built to integrate into reception desks and other customer-facing environments as easily as a back-office one.
Handles cards, passports and 413 g/m² stock
One scanner covers business cards, postcards, plastic cards, passports (via carrier sheet) and material up to 413 g/m² — a wider range than most desktop scanners in its class.

Need-to-Know
The DR-M260 has the largest feeder in Canon's departmental DR-M line and shares its 60 ppm rated speed with the DR-M160II and the A3 DR-M1060II.
- The DR-M260 connects over USB by default — there is no built-in network port. Canon lists an optional NA10 or WA10 Network Adapter accessory for scanning to a network without a dedicated PC connection; ask us for details.
- Canon's Windows driver row for this model names Windows 7 through 10 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 / 2012 R2 / 2016. If you run Windows 11, ask us to confirm current driver support before you order.
- Canon's specification page lists Windows software only (ISIS / TWAIN Driver, CaptureOnTouch Pro, Tungsten VRS, Tungsten Power PDF) — no Mac driver is published for this model.
- 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| imageFORMULA DR-M160II | 60 ppm / 120 ipm | 75 sheets | 7,500 – 13,000 scans |
| imageFORMULA DR-M260 (this page) | 60 ppm / 120 ipm | 90 sheets | 7,500 – 13,000 scans |
| imageFORMULA DR-M1060II | 60 ppm / 120 ipm | 80 sheets | 7,500 – 13,000 scans |
| imageFORMULA DR-S350NW | 50 ppm / 100 ipm | 60 sheets | Not published |
Choose the DR-M260 for the largest feeder and the widest range of media in this line, the DR-M1060II when you need A3, and the DR-S350NW when built-in network scanning matters more than raw speed.
