This Lexmark is a multifunction printer/scanner. It seems to say the document was scanned to PDF. Of course metadata can be fake or wrong, but it is reasonable to think a PDF is made that way. A document creator might not fill in a date (and if a date us there it cannot be proof of the actual date).

It's just what some app or device decided to put there. Probably in this case the thing doing the Canon scanning and OCR. There's no specific meanings, it's just a string to help identify what made the PDF.
