Avoid exposing the scanner to rapid changes in temperature. If the room in
which the scanner is installed is cold but rapidly heated, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the scanner. This may result in a noticeable degradation in scanning quality.
The following conditions are recommended for optimal scanning quality:
- Room temperature: 10 °C to 32.5 °C (50 °F to 90.5 °F)
- Humidity: 20% to 80% RH
Avoid installing the scanner near equipment that generates a magnetic field
(e.g. speakers, televisions, or radios.)

AC Adapter

Connect only to a power outlet of the rated voltage and power supply frequency
(120 V, 60 Hz or 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz depending on your region).
Do not connect other electrical equipment to the same power outlet to which
the scanner is connected. Also, when using an extension cord, make sure that the extension cord is rated for the current requirements of the scanner.
Never disassemble or modify the AC adapter, as it is dangerous.
The power cord may become damaged if it is often stepped on or if heavy
objects are placed on it. Continued use of a damaged power cord and AC adapter can lead to an accident, such as a fire or electrical shock.
Do not use the power cord while it is coiled.
Do not pull directly on the power cord. When disconnecting the power cord,
grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
Keep the area around the power cord clear of objects so that the power cord can
be disconnected easily in an emergency.
Do not use an AC adapter other than the one provided with the scanner. Do not
use the AC adapter provided with the scanner with other products.
If you have any questions regarding the power supply, contact your local
authorized Canon dealer or service representative for further information.

When unplugging the power cord, grasp it firmly by its plug. Do not pull directly
on the power cord, as this may damage or expose the cord's internal wiring, resulting in a fire or electric shock.
Leave sufficient space around the power plug so that it can be unplugged easily.
If objects are placed around the power plug, you will be unable to unplug it in an emergency.
Do not allow water or flammable substances (alcohol, paint thinner, benzene,
etc.) to spill into the scanner, as this may result in a fire or electric shock.
Turn OFF the power switch for safety when not using the scanner for a long
period of time, such as overnight. Also, turn OFF the power switch, and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet for safety when the machine will not be used for an extended period of time, such as during consecutive holidays.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may get caught in the scanner while
you are using it. This may result in personal injury. Be extra careful of neckties and long hair. If anything becomes caught in the scanner, immediately disconnect the power cord to stop the scanner.
Be careful when loading paper into the scanner and when removing jammed

Back Previous Page Next Page
2
) 0.0138" (0.35 mm) or less
When scanning multiple documents of different sizes, place the documents
so that they cover the entire span of the feed rollers.
It is recommended that documents exceeding LTR, 11.69" (A4, 297 mm) size
are fed one sheet at a time.
Scanning documents before the ink is dry can cause problems with the
scanner. Always make sure that the ink on a document is dry before scanning it.
Scanning documents that are written in pencil or similar material may make
the rollers and scanning glass dirty, which can lead to smudges on the scanned image and transfer the dirt to subsequent documents. Always clean the internal parts of the scanner after scanning such documents.
When scanning a two-sided document that is printed on thin paper, the
image on the opposite side of each page may show through. In this case, adjust the scanning intensity in the application software before scanning the document.
It is recommended that thin documents are fed one sheet at a time.
Scanning the following types of documents can cause a paper jam or
malfunction. To scan such a document, make a photocopy of the document and then scan the photocopy.
Wrinkled or creased documents
Curled documents Coated paper
Torn documents
Documents with paper clips or staples
Carbon paper
Extremely thin, translucent paper
IMPORTANT
If a stack of business cards cannot be fed properly, reduce the number of cards in the stack.
Card
Size: 2.12" x 3.37" (53.9 mm x 85.5 mm) (ISO/JIS standard) Card thickness: 0.03" (0.76 mm) or less Orientation: Horizontal feeding only Embossed cards can be scanned.
CAUTION
If you place cards to be fed vertically, they may not be ejected properly, and
cards that get jammed may be damaged when you remove them. Take care of the orientation when placing cards.
Embossed cards may not be able to be scanned correctly, depending on the
type of embossment.

3. Placing Documents

There are two methods for feeding documents, the Page Separation mode and Bypass mode. Feeding pages continuously from a stack of documents placed in the feed tray is called the Page Separation mode. Feeding documents one sheet at a time or feeding documents consisting of multiple pages that are attached, is called the bypass mode. The document feed method can be changed by moving the feed selection lever.

Feeding in the Page Separation Mode

Switch the feed selection lever to (Page Separation).
1
Fan the pages of the document to be scanned, and shift them so that the
3
top of the first page (the bottom of the front of the document) is the lowest. (Place the document so that the top of the document is facing down.)
CAUTION
When placing documents into the feed tray, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper.
Place the document with the reverse side facing you, and the top of the
4
document facing down.
Insert the document with the reverse side facing you
24
Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the document to be scanned.
2
IMPORTANT
There is a load limit mark ( ) on the document guides. Do not stack documents higher than this mark (approximately 50 sheets of 20 lb bond
2
) paper.) Doing so may cause a paper jam.
(80 g/m
Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the document.
5
NOTE
Before scanning, make sure that the document is not curled or creased, and that it is placed in the feed tray correctly. Scanning an improperly placed, curled, or creased document may damage the document or cause a paper jam.
Use the application software to start scanning.

Back Previous Page Next Page
IMPORTANT
Before you place a document, check to make sure it does not contain paper clips,
staples, or other small metal objects. These items may cause a fire or electrical shock, damage the document, or cause a paper jam or scanner malfunction.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may get caught in the scanner
while you are using it. This may result in personal injury. Be extra careful of neckties and long hair. If anything gets caught in the scanner, immediately turn OFF the power switch, and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet to stop scanning.
Always smooth out any folds or curls in your documents before placing them
into the feeder. If the leading edge of a document is curled, it may cause a paper jam.
If feeding stops due to a system error or paper jam while the scanner is
scanning, resolve the problem, make sure that the scanned image of the last page that was successfully fed has been stored, and then resume scanning the remaining document pages.
After you finish scanning, close the document feed tray and the document
eject tray to prevent damage to the scanner while it is not being used.

p.24).
Contents
Back Previous Page Next Page
Place the card horizontally, with the reverse side facing you, and the top of
3
the card facing down.
CAUTION
If you place cards to be fed vertically, they may not be ejected properly, and cards that get jammed may be damaged when you remove them. Take care of the orientation when placing cards.

Placing Folded Documents

Folio Scan enables you to scan documents that are larger than LTR/A4 and therefore do not fit in the feeder. (The maximum size is 11" X 17"/A3.) To use the function, fold the document in half lengthwise and place it into the feeder. The DR-2010C/DR-2510C will scan both sides and combine the scanned images into a single image.
IMPORTANT
When folding the document, align the right and left sides and create a sharp,
straight fold. Otherwise the document may jam or the image may not be aligned properly.
The fold line itself will not be scanned. Keep this in mind if there is content
such as photos, diagrams, or text that spans the fold.
For Folio scanning, only the Bypass mode can be used. Place documents one
at a time.
Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the document. Otherwise, the
image may scan as skewed or shifted.
27
NOTE
When scanning folded documents, switch the feed selection lever
to (Bypass).
When placing folded documents, place the document into the scanner so that
the fold is on the right side. The side of the folded document facing you will become the right side of the combined image.
When scanning a folded document, set [Scanning Side] on the scanner driver
settings screen to [Folio]. (See "Scanning Side Settings" on page 69.)
The maximum size for the combined image is A3. When scanning a folded
document of a size other than the standard formats, set [Page Size] on the scanner driver settings screen to [Auto-detection]. (See "Paper Size Settings" on page 67.)

CapturePerfect 3.0 (Windows only)
This is scanning application for advanced users. It offers a variety of scanning methods and functions for editing the scanned image.
For details on CapturePerfect 3.0, refer to "Scanning With CapturePerfect 3.0" below. Also refer to "CapturePerfect 3.0 Operation Guide" in the electronic manual.
Scanner driver
This is the scanner driver required for using the unit. When scanning with ISIS compatible applications (Windows only) or TWAIN compatible applications, the scanner driver will be called up as required for making various scan settings. For details, refer to "Chapter 6 Scanner Driver Settings".
Before starting to use the unit, you must install the software from the Setup disc. For details on installation, see the "Reference Guide" or "Chapter 2 Setup".

5. Practical Examples

This section provides examples of settings when scanning. Refer to these examples when specifying ISIS/TWAIN driver settings. For descriptions of particular setting items, see "Chapter 6 Scanner Driver Settings," on p. 60.
Scanning Both Sides of Pages
To scan both sides of pages
Set [Scanning Side] to [Duplex].
Scanning Non-Standard Size Documents
To scan irregular size documents
To scan a document of a size other than the standard formats, set [Page Size] to [Auto-detection].The document size will then be detected automatically.
To register an irregular page size for scanning documents
A document size other than the standard formats can be registered with the [Custom] option. (See "Adjusting the Scan Area," on p. 73.)
To scan only part of the document page
You can specify the scanning area. However, when [Paper Size] is set to [Auto­detect], the scanning area cannot be specified. (See "Adjusting the Scan Area," on p. 73.)
Scanning Multiple Batches as One Document
To scan a document that has too many pages to be loaded all at once as
separate batches
Set [Feeding Option] to [Automatic Feeding]. When this option is selected, the scanner detects documents and starts scanning as they are loaded, so continuous scanning is possible by loading the document batches repeatedly. If [Feeding Option] is set to [Panel-Feeding], and the document has been set, scanning will not start until the start button on the scanner is pressed. This is useful if you want to straighten documents after you have placed them in the scanner.
29
Contents
Back Previous Page Next Page
To create separate files for each batch of documents during continuous
scanning
Select the [Feeding Option] by clicking [Automatic Feeding] or [Panel-Feeding] and set [Batch separation] to [Auto].This function is available only under Windows when the scanner driver was called from an ISIS compatible application.
To scan a batch of documents one page at a time
Set [Feeding Option] to [Automatic Feeding] or [Panel-Feeding] and scan each document separately. After one document has been scanned, the operation steps are as follows.
• If [Feeding Option] is set to [Automatic Feeding], load the next document. The scanner will detect the document and scan it automatically.
• If [Feeding Option] is set to [Panel-Feeding], load the document and then press the scan button.
Prescan
To confirm images before scanning
Select the [Prescan] check box. The [Prescan] dialog box is displayed when scanning starts. (See "Prescan," on p. 91.)
Registering Settings
Registering Your Settings
Register a name for your settings in the user preferences. When you want to recall your settings later, select the name of your registered user preferences, and they will be reflected in the dialog boxes. (See "Registering Scanning Conditions," on p. 93.)

Before using Adobe Acrobat 9.0

There are two methods for scanning a document from the scanner using the Adobe Acrobat 9.0 included with the provided Setup Disc for DR-2510C/DR­2010C. One method is Presets (Black & White Document, Grayscale Document, Color Document or Color Image), in which the scanning parameters are set beforehand, and the other method is Custom Scan, which allows you to select the parameters used for scanning. The Custom Scan method also provides the option of either showing or hiding the scanner's Native Interface (the scanner's own settings screen) while scanning. If you use Adobe Acrobat 9.0 with this scanner and scan using the Custom Scan method, you should display the scanner's Native Interface for the following reasons.
If you make scans without showing the Native Interface, it may not be possible
to scan correctly at the specified Paper Size.
If you use Presets to scan without showing the Native Interface, it may not be
possible to scan correctly at the specified Paper Size.
By using the Job Function or the Job Scan function of CapturePerfect 3.0, you can register scanning conditions and methods for processing scanned image files as jobs, and scan by selecting a job.
