To ensure the safe operation of this scanner, be sure to read the safety warnings
and precautions described below.
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.
• Avoid installing the machine in direct sunlight. If this is unavoidable, use
curtains to shade the scanner.
• Avoid locations where a considerable amount of dust accumulates.
• Avoid warm or humid locations, such as in the vicinity of a water faucet,
water heater, or humidifier, and avoid locations where the fumes from
ammonia, paint thinner, or other volatile chemicals may be present.
• Avoid locations where ammonia gas is emitted.
• Avoid locations near volatile or flammable materials, such as alcohol or
paint thinner.

CapturePerfect 3.0 is an ISIS-compatible application developed for Canon
document scanners.
CapturePerfect 3.0 includes the following modes. Select the desired scan mode
from the scan menu to perform scanning.
• Scan Batch to File
Documents are scanned with the preset scanning conditions, and the image
file is saved to the specified folder.
• Scan Batch to Print
Documents are scanned with the preset scanning conditions, and the scanned
image is printed on the specified printer.
• Scan Batch to Mail
Documents are scanned with the preset scanning conditions, the e-mail
software is started up, and the scanned image is attached to a new e-mail
message.
• Scan 1 Page
Only one page of the document is scanned.
• Scan Job
The scanning conditions and scan mode (Scan Batch to File, Scan Batch to
Print, or Scan Batch to Mail) are registered in advance as a job. The scan job
can then be performed by selecting the registered job from the drop-down
list (c) and pressing (Scan JOB) on the toolbar (d).

[Warming up] Is Displayed When Scanning
Because the DR-1210C uses a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) as its
light source, it is necessary to wait until the output from the lamp stabilizes
before scanning. [Warming up] is displayed until the lamp turns on and its
output is stabilized after the scanner’s power is turned on or when the scanner
comes out of the power saving feature. The length of time that [Warming up] is
displayed varies depending on the conditions of the lamp.
Setting the [CCFL Control]
The DR-1210C’s default settings are set to turn off the lamp when the scanner
enters the Power Saving Feature after no operations have been done for 12
minutes. Because of this, if more than 12 minutes elapses between scanning
jobs the lamp turns off and [Warming up] is displayed the next time scanning is
done.
If the period between scanning jobs is longer than 12 minutes you can use the
[CCFL Control] to change the time before the scanner enters the Power Saving
Feature so that [Warming up] is not displayed when scanning is done.
Set the [CCFL Control] in [Scanners and Cameras Properties]. Follow the
procedure below to change the settings.
