  • Can handle document thicknesses ranging from 52 g/m² to 120 g/m².
• Duplex Scanning:
  • Supports two-sided scanning (duplex), scanning both sides of the paper in a single pass, improving speed and efficiency.
• Scanning Speed:
  • Depending on the specific model of the Canon MFP it’s paired with, the scanning speed can be as fast as 40 pages per minute (ppm) for both simplex and duplex scanning.
• Connectivity:
  • The DADF-BA1 is integrated with compatible Canon MFPs and does not require additional external connectivity. It works seamlessly with the printer’s onboard control system.
