Is the RS40 good for scanning old family photos?

Yes, for prints. The feeder takes stacks of photos and the software enhances and organizes them. It is not the tool for negatives or slides, and 600 dpi limits fine-art reproduction.

Does it scan both sides automatically?

Yes. It is a duplex scanner, so two-sided documents pass through in one run at up to 40 ppm mono and 30 ppm color.

Can it create searchable PDFs?

Yes. The bundled Canon software converts paper documents into searchable PDF files, which helps with organizing and finding paperwork.

Does it work with a Mac?

Yes. It supports Windows and macOS and connects by USB.

Can I scan wirelessly?

No. The RS40 is USB only, so it needs a direct cable connection to a computer.

What is the maximum resolution?

600 dpi. That is fine for documents and photo prints but below what dedicated photo and film scanners offer.
