London, UK, 1st September 2026 – Today, Canon announces the launch of the imageFORMULA DR-C360, a compact, highly-productive scanner which has been designed specifically for corporate and government organisations, as well as regulated sectors such as banking, finance, healthcare and legal.
Canon launches imageFORMULA DR-C360 to bring faster and more versatile desktop scanning to modern businesses
Expanding Canon’s imageFORMULA DR-C300 Series, which was introduced last year, the new device brings enhanced productivity to support business environments which require faster document processing and higher-volume digitisation.
Intuitive, space-saving design
Through its ultra-compact and narrow design, the imageFORMULA DR-C360 features one of the smallest footprints on the market in its category. This makes the scanner ideal for use in environments where there is limited space, such as branch and remote offices, customer engagement points, reception areas and shared business environments.
It also offers new, enhanced usability features, such as a larger display panel and physical buttons, which support easier operation, whilst setup is also simple thanks to the included USB Type-C connectivity. The scanner also comes equipped with Canon’s powerful CaptureOnTouch Pro software, which enables users to quickly digitise paper documents – it also allows for files to be imported and then converted into various file formats using intelligent technologies such as OCR and barcode recognition.
Fast and flexible media scanning
Capable of scanning at speeds of up to 120 images per minute, and equipped with a large 100-sheet Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), the imageFORMULA DR-C360 enables users to digitise higher volumes of documents efficiently, with minimal user intervention
Media flexibility is also enhanced as the device is able to scan a number of different document types including passports directly, without the need for a protective carrier sheet. These features make the imageFORMULA DR-C360 especially suitable for sectors such as government, financial services, insurance, legal services, and rental and leasing businesses, where customer identification documents need to be captured quickly and accurately.
Superior image quality
The scanner also incorporates advanced image-processing technologies, including Active Threshold and enhanced highlighting capabilities. This helps to deliver consistently high-quality scans, improved image clarity and reduces the need for rescanning.
Sustainability benefits and lower TCO
Designed with efficiency in mind, the scanner can support organisations in reducing their total cost of ownership (TCO) through energy-efficient operation, consuming less power during scanning than other comparable models.
Sustainability has also been considered during the device design, for example it features a redesigned roller replacement kit which uses fewer materials and generates less waste than previous versions, whilst packaging is also made from reusable and biodegradable materials to help reduce plastic consumption.
