Features of the Scanner
The main features of the P-215II document scanner are described
below.
Compact Size
The scanner has a compact size of 285 mm (W) x 40 mm (H) x 95
mm (D) (11.22" x 1.57" x 3.74") when the document feed tray is
closed.
Bus-Powered
Supporting USB 3.0 bus power, the scanner is capable of scanning at
a speed of 15 black-and-white (grayscale) pages per minute and 10
24-bit color pages per minute using bus power via a single USB cable
(200-dpi simplex scanning of A4 documents is assumed in both
examples).
When using a USB 2.0 interface, high-speed scanning is still
available through the additional use of the power supply USB cable or
an AC adapter (sold separately).
Auto Start Function
The CaptureOnTouch Lite software that comes preinstalled in the
scanner can be started by turning ON the Auto Start switch on the
rear panel. Connecting a computer to the scanner enables scanning
even when the driver is not installed.
4
Auto Power ON/OFF
This feature automatically turns the power ON or OFF when the feed
tray is opened or closed.
Equipped with Feeder
Up to 20 pages of a document can be loaded and then fed
continuously, or one at a time.
Wi-Fi connectivity
By connecting the optional WU10 to the scanner, you can operate the
scanner and load document from a PC or other device with a wireless
connection. You can also send scanned data directly to a
smartphone, tablet PC, or other smart device with a wireless
connection.
Dedicated Card Slot
The scanner includes a dedicated slot for scanning plastic cards.
CaptureOnTouch
When the bundled CaptureOnTouch software is installed, you can
perform scanning with a variety of scanning methods, ranging from a
normal scan, to a scan that involves a series of steps and which is
performed by registering a job.
Color and Grayscale Support
The scanner is capable of scanning a document in 24-bit color or
256-level grayscale.
Two-Sided Scanning
The scanner supports one-sided and two-sided scanning. Using the
skip blank pages function enables you to scan without worrying about
whether to scan one side or both sides of a document because
scanned images of blank pages are not saved.
Auto Color Detection
The scanner detects whether the scanned document is in color,
grayscale, or black and white, and saves the image accordingly.
Full Auto Mode
A Full Auto Mode is provided in CaptureOnTouch Lite,
CaptureOnTouch and scanner driver to allow scanning under
automatically determined conditions. Scanning conditions such as
the color mode and page size are set automatically based on the
document being scanned.
Auto Resolution Detection
When enabled in the CaptureOnTouch Lite, CaptureOnTouch or
scanner driver settings, this function detects the content of
documents and determines the scanning resolution automatically.
Document Size Auto Detection
This feature enables automatic detection of the page size of a
scanned document. The space around the edges of documents can
be omitted during scanning, even for non-standard size documents.
Deskew
Even if a document is slanted when fed into the scanner, the scanned
image can be straightened.
Text Enhanced Mode
Advanced Text Enhancement II is provided to improve the readability
when scanning documents in which the background is uniform and
both the text and background are light.
*This feature may not work effectively for some documents
Drop-Out Color
This feature makes it possible to ignore specific colors when
scanning a document.
Picture Mode
The [Apply corrections suitable for photographs] features
compensates for underexposed and overexposed images for photoquality scans with finer gradation.
Prescan
This feature allows you to scan just the first page of a document,
confirm the scanned image and adjust the brightness and contrast,
and then scan the remaining pages of the document.
Scan First
Pressing the Start button on the scanner automatically starts
CaptureOnTouch Lite or CaptureOnTouch, which allows simple
scanning by following the instructions on screen.
Auto Detection of Document in Feeder
An automatic start function is provided for detecting when a
document is placed in the feeder and then starting scanning
automatically.
5
Depending on the bundled software you are using, all of the
preceding features may not be available.

scanning. Using the power supply cable in such cases will not
increase the scanning speed.
Although this scanner supports USB 3.0 bus power, USB data
transfer rates remain at USB 2.0 speeds.

Installation Location
The performance of this scanner is affected by the environment in
which it is installed. Make sure that the location where the scanner is
installed meets the following environmental requirements.
Provide adequate space around the scanner for operation,
maintenance, and ventilation.
Scanned documents are ejected behind the scanner. Be sure to
provide sufficient space behind the scanner.
Avoid installing the machine in direct sunlight.
Avoid locations where a considerable amount of dust accumulates.

using only one USB cable, purchase an AC adapter (sold separately).
If you have any questions regarding the power supply, contact your
local authorized Canon dealer or service representative for further
information.
Moving the Scanner
When moving the scanner, always hold it with both hands to avoid
dropping it.

wrung out. Never use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or any other
flammable substance.
If the scanner makes strange noises, or gives off smoke, heat, or
strange odors, or the scanner does not function or other
abnormalities occur when you use the scanner, immediately close the
feed tray, turn the scanner OFF, and disconnect the USB cable or
14
power supply USB cable. Then, contact your local authorized Canon
dealer or service representative for further information.
Do not drop the scanner, or subject it to impact or strong shock.
Should the scanner ever become damaged, immediately close the
feed tray, turn the scanner OFF, and disconnect the USB cable or
power supply USB cable. Then, contact your local authorized Canon

Connect the scanner to the computer.
Connecting the Scanner to the Computer
Turn OFF the Auto Start switch on the rear of the scanner, and use the
supplied USB cable to connect the scanner to the computer.
• Take care not to disconnect the USB cable while data is being
transferred between the scanner and computer during scanning.
• The USB connector to which the scanner is connected on your computer
must be one capable of supplying 500 mA / 5 V of power.
• Do not connect the scanner to the computer before installing the
software.
When connected to a USB port that supports USB 3.0, the scanner
operates on 900 mA bus power and is capable of high-speed
scanning. Using the power supply cable in such cases will not
increase the scanning speed.
Although this scanner supports USB 3.0 bus power, USB data
transfer rates remain at USB 2.0 speeds.
Using a USB Hub
The scanner cannot be used when it is connected to a computer via a buspowered USB hub. A self-powered USB hub can be used, but operation is
not guaranteed.

Scanning the following types of documents can cause a paper jam or
malfunction. To scan such a document, make a photocopy of the
document and then scan the photocopy.
A document must meet the following criteria to be scannable:
● When scanning multiple documents of different sizes, place
the documents so that they cover the entire span of the feed
rollers.
● It is recommended that documents exceeding 356 mm (14") in
size are fed one sheet at a time.
● Scanning documents before the ink is dry can cause problems
with the scanner. Always make sure that the ink on a document
is dry before scanning it.
● Scanning documents that are written in pencil or similar
material may make the rollers and scanning glass dirty, which
can lead to smudges on the scanned image and transfer the
dirt to subsequent documents. Always clean the internal parts
of the scanner after scanning such documents.
● When scanning a two-sided document that is printed on thin
paper, the image on the opposite side of each page may show
through. In this case, adjust the scanning intensity in the
application software before scanning the document.
● It is recommended that thin documents are fed one sheet at a
time.
