Review: Plays well with M1 Mac Mini - Update 8/2025 -new firmware compatible with MacOs Sequoia - Updated review 8-18-2025: Once I upgraded my Mac Mini to Sequoia, the scanner no longer worked on my Mac and I had to use my Parallels Windows 11 partition to use it (and it was quite awkward about where it’d post the scan). BUT, the good news is when I plugged the scanner in yesterday I was offered an update to the firmware of the scanner (R10_UpdateTool.app) which took 20 minutes to complete. They warn you not to allow your Mac to sleep and not to unplug the scanner during the update process (standard fare for firmware updates). (After I copied the R10_UpdateTool.app to my applications folder I noticed the date on the file was March 18, 2024 (see picture of this attached to this review) which suggests this existed last year but wasn't released until recently? - Odd.) After that it worked perfectly on my Mac again. As before when you plug it in to a USB port on your Mac (or to a powered USB hub attached to my Mac which I tried, and it worked just as well) you get the pop up with the CaptureOnTouch Lite software which appears to be the same as before - dated Mar 30, 2020. Double click on that icon and the scanning interface appears. Select Color/Black & White/Automatic, and you can edit the location where the scanned document(s) are saved. Click SCAN and you’re good to go. I ALMOST bought a new scanner from another company and was very pleased to see the updated firmware offered up. Back to quick double sided quick and good (not excellent) quality scanning. (BTW, I found no mention of this firmware update on Canon’s support website). Thanks for the update, Canon! ------ Prior Review: Once I plugged this in to my Mac Mini (M1) chip, a popup indicated an update was required to work with an M1 computer. After update was completed, there was software "CaptureOnTouch Lite" that was installed on the Mac. Then I just loaded max of 20 pages, and selected my options in the software app, then [SCAN] it quickly scanned (both sides at once) all the documents flawlessly. Then it gives you the option to [SCAN MORE PAGES] so that if you have a document more than 20 pages, it will add them to your first scan so you end up with just 1 PDF in the end. It is very small, light, and portable. At one point after my computer had entered sleep mode, and I then tried to scan additional documents it said "DRIVER NOT FOUND" - I rebooted the Mac and it was back to scanning documents again. Duplex scanning and the simplicity of the scanning interface (and high quality scans) make this a sure fire winner. Addendum: I plug the scanner into a USB A port on my Mac Mini - I have not tried it on a USB hub, but would suspect it’d be less reliable through a hub.
Review: Good Quality and Fair Performance for the Price - I needed something compact to store and use in a small area, but I also wanted something that wasn't overly expensive. This is one of the better scanners I've used. Depending on the paper quality, ink quality, and flatness of the paper, 20 sheets can easily scan through without issue. I found that specific types of paper and ink tend to stick together and did require me to rescan a few pages until I got into the groove of how this scanner performs. The image quality was good. It does have issues scanning colored highlighter on pages; this would not be the model to use if that's a concern. I appreciate the software being in the scanner; it allowed me to very quickly plug in and get scanning. I've used it to scan over 1200 pages of various pages/ink types in a single day. The scans are quick and clear. The double-sided scanning is a game-changer compared to the single-sided flat bed scanner I was using before.

### ⭐ ImageFormula R10 Scanner
*by J***E on March 17, 2026*

My real review is 3/5 stars. I’m putting 1/5 for those who, like me, pay attention to the negative reviews instead of positive ones. I bought this product and it was delivered same day. Very early the next day, since the delivery person didn’t follow the instructions to ring my doorbell upon delivery- i got to using it. First- you do not need to download anything, it is automatically installed in the scanner itself. HOWEVER- you do have to manually go into the device storage and open the software. The file is “ONTOUCHL.exe” Second- The image quality is good. DO NOT LEAVE THE SCANNER ALONE WITH A STACK OF PAPERS. Pay attention to your scans. Yes it does automatically feed paper, no it is not always accurate and and you may have to jostle the paper into the feeder and yes it does grab multiple pages at a time and will incorrectly scan. Scan your papers front page to the back and upside down. This will reduce how many pages you have to rotate. You can rotate the pages after its scanned before you save it. There is an option- not so obvious- in the top right of the window. It has some tools for basic editing. Its a little complex for non-tech people, but you can determine the name of your files and the location they save prior to scanning. The feeder made my project last all day- with a better quality scanner it would have taken me three hours- but this took from 9am until 7pm maybe longer. It was about 500 sheets of paper. It scans front and back simultaneously.
