Canon imageFormula R40 Document Scanner Receipt Edition Review from PCMag – January 23, 2023 – by Contributing Editor, William Harrel

The prices for most high-tech hardware goes down, not up, over the years, but some niche gear can buck that trend and still stay competitive. Take Canon’s imageFormula R40 Office Document Scanner Receipt Edition: At $399, it’s $130 more than the base-model imageFormula R40 we reviewed in March 2020. The main justification for upping this new document scanner‘s cost is special software for gleaning, sorting, and saving financial data from receipts, statements, invoices, and the like. A direct competitor to the outstanding Epson RapidReceipt RR-600W, the R40 Receipt Edition scans everyday office documents, as well as financial data, reliably and accurately. It’s also a solid value, with a list price $100 below the Epson’s. Unfortunately for Canon, at this writing the RR-600W had been discounted to match its rival’s cost, and retains a slight edge as our Editors’ Choice among receipt and document scanners.
