It delivers scanning speeds of up to 45 pages per minute / 90 images per minute in duplex mode and features a generous 60-sheet automatic document feeder for efficient batch scanning.

Fast 45PPM Duplex Document Scanning
The Canon imageFORMULA DR-S150 is capable of scanning up to 45 pages per minute, or up to 90 images per minute when scanning both sides of a document in a single pass. This makes it well suited to invoices, forms, contracts, customer records, reports and other high-volume office documents.
Canon's onboard DR Processor handles image processing within the scanner, helping maintain consistent scanning performance without relying entirely on the processing power of the connected computer.
USB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi Connectivity
One of the key advantages of the DR-S150 is its flexible connectivity. It can be connected directly to a computer via USB or shared across an office network using either wired Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
This makes the DR-S150 particularly useful for small and medium businesses, departments and shared workgroups where multiple users need access to the same scanner.
PC-Less and Network Scanning Workflows
The DR-S150 supports more than traditional scan-to-PC operation. Using Canon's CaptureOnTouch Job Tool and network functionality, scan jobs can be configured for streamlined operation directly from the scanner control panel.
Documents can be incorporated into network-based workflows including shared folders and supported cloud-enabled destinations, helping organisations digitise paper records without requiring a dedicated scanning workstation for every user.
60-Sheet Automatic Document Feeder
The integrated 60-sheet ADF allows users to load multi-page document batches and scan them automatically. Canon's document feeding and separation system is designed to handle mixed office documents reliably, reducing the need for constant manual intervention.
Advanced Document Handling
The DR-S150 can scan more than standard office paper. Supported document types include:
- Standard A4 office documents
- Thin paper documents
- Business cards
- Plastic ID cards
- Embossed plastic cards
- Passports up to approximately 4 mm thick when used with the appropriate carrier sheet
This flexibility makes the scanner suitable for industries such as accounting, legal services, healthcare, finance, insurance, government administration and customer service environments.
Automatic Image Processing
The DR-S150 includes a range of image-processing functions designed to reduce manual editing after scanning. Depending on the selected scan workflow and software settings, functions include:
- Automatic colour detection
- Blank-page removal
- Automatic deskew
- Image rotation
- Text enhancement
- Automatic page-size detection
- OCR for searchable document creation
CaptureOnTouch Software
Canon's CaptureOnTouch software provides an easy way to create and save common scanning jobs. Users can configure shortcuts for tasks such as scanning documents to searchable PDF, saving files to designated folders and integrating scanned documents into supported cloud-based workflows.
The DR-S150 also supports Canon's CaptureOnTouch Job Tool, enabling predefined network scan jobs to be selected directly from the scanner.

Why Choose the Canon DR-S150?
The DR-S150 sits above a basic desktop USB scanner by combining fast 45 ppm duplex scanning with network sharing, Wi-Fi and standalone-style workflow capabilities. It is particularly attractive to offices that want one scanner to serve several users rather than dedicating a separate USB scanner to each workstation.
Its combination of a 60-sheet feeder, flexible media handling, network connectivity and Canon CaptureOnTouch workflow tools makes it a strong choice for businesses moving from manual paper handling toward centralised document capture.
Scanner Maintenance
Like other high-volume sheetfed scanners, feed rollers are wear components and may eventually require replacement after extended use. Replacement roller kits are available separately for compatible Canon imageFORMULA models.
