Canon launches secure imageFORMULA DR-S350NW scanner for hybrid work

Canon Europe has unveiled the imageFORMULA DR-S350NW, a compact and secure A4 desktop scanner designed to enhance agility, efficiency, and quality in businesses of all sizes. This scanner can operate independently without a PC connection and integrates Canon's CaptureOnTouch Lite Web application for easy connection and sharing.

Key features of the imageFORMULA DR-S350NW include direct job scanning capabilities that allow users to set preconfigured scan workflows and send documents to multiple output destinations such as Teams, email, and FTP servers. The scanner also boasts improved quality control, a large 4.3" colour LCD touch panel screen, and a customisable menu for better user interaction.

The imageFORMULA DR-S350NW is equipped with robust security features, compliant with the latest WPA3 standards, and offers encryption technology alongside user access restriction controls to safeguard sensitive information. This makes it particularly suited to environments that require stringent data protection measures.

Khalid Aziz, Marketing Director at Canon UK & Ireland, explained, "Today's hybrid working world brings challenges for many businesses. Employees still need fast access to documents, and information must be shared efficiently to ensure optimal collaboration. The new imageFORMULA DR-S350NW is designed to meet these needs. With its secure and efficient capabilities, it is ideal for supporting both small offices and employees of larger organisations, wherever they may be working."

Canon's embedded CaptureOnTouch Lite Web application allows users to connect swiftly and scan directly from a computer or mobile web browser. The direct job scanning function lets users set up various scan workflow jobs on the scanner itself, streamlining the process of sending documents to shared folders, Teams, email, and FTP servers.

Additionally, the scanner features flexible connectivity options, including USB, LAN, and WiFi, supporting both 2.5Ghz and 5GHz wireless frequencies. These options offer increased versatility and convenience for users in different environments.

The advanced security features of the imageFORMULA DR-S350NW are essential in today's data-sensitive environments. WPA3 compliance ensures robust encryption, and user access restriction controls help protect sensitive information from unauthorised access, even in shared working spaces. Document encryption technology further enhances security as information passes through the device.

The launch of the Canon imageFORMULA DR-S350NW marks a significant advancement in desktop scanning technology, particularly for businesses navigating the complexities of hybrid work environments. Combining ease of use, robust security features, and versatile connectivity options, this scanner addresses the critical need for efficient document management and secure data handling.
