Before you begin

Welcome!

Thank you for purchasing a Canon Document Scanner DR-4080U.
These instructions show you how to operate and maintain the Canon Document Scanner DR-4080U. Before
you use the scanner, read these instructions. Keep these instructions and all the other documents you re­ceived with the scanner in a safe place where you can find them for future reference.

Outstanding features

Here is a brief summary of the outstanding features of your new scanner.

Enhanced Scan

Scanning quality is enhanced by providing an optical resolution of 400 dpi and gray scale scanning capa­bility .

High-speed document feeding

The Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) delivers high-speed scanning on standard paper sizes up to A3
(297 × 420 mm) up to 45 sheets per minute (scanning A4 size, single-sided documents). Scanning docu­ments place on the flatbed is also extremely fast.

Flatbed scanning

The flatbed allows you to scan originals which are too thin or too fragile to feed from the ADF.

Variety of scanning modes

The following modes can be selected for scanning jobs.

• Single-sided or double-sided documents

• Automatic feed of stacked documents or single manual feed

• Text (black and white) or photo (gray scale) mode scanning

Variety of image processing methods

The following processing methods can be applied to images as they are scanned:

• Dither

• Image Emphasis

• Reverse Image

• Mirror Image

• Noise Reduction

• Automatic Separation

• Remove Shadow

Double-feed detection

Immediate detection of double-feeds pauses the scanning job and allows you to correct the problem with
having to remove jammed sheets from the scanner.

Skewed feed detection

This function detects skewed document feed and stops feeding to allow the problem to be corrected.

Before you begin

Conventions

The following conventions are used in this manual.

(➞12) A number enclosed in parentheses refers to a page number that contains more infor-

mation about the previous sentence or paragraph.

Note: Notes provide tips about procedures and how to avoid minor difficulties.
Caution! Cautions alert you to procedures or circumstances that you should avoid in order to

prevent damage to the scanner.

WARNING! WARNINGS ALERT YOU TO DANGERS THAT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS PER-

SONAL INJURY.

Important terms you should know

Here is a list of a few important terms you should know before you use this manual.

ADF

ADF denotes Automatic Document Feeder, the device on the scanner that allows you to load stacks of
documents for continuous scanning.

CIS

Contact Image Sensor, used to scan the back sides of originals.

document

The documents that you scan from the ADF or the flatbed of the scanner.

parent software application

The software application that you use to operate the scanner. The scanner operates when any ISIS or
TWAIN compliant software application.

Choosing a location for the scanner

Follow these recommendations on these checklists when you select a location for the scanner.

Carrying the scanner

• At least two people should lift and position the scanner for setup.

• If you have just transported the scanner from a cold location into a warm room, wait at least 1~2 hours before you
set up and switch on the scanner. Exposing the scanner to a sudden change in temperature could cause conden­sation to build up inside the scanner and adversely affect its performance. Allow time for the internal parts to
become perfectly dry.

Before you begin

General Location

• Make sure there is enough space around the scanner as shown in the illustration.

250 mm (9.8")

200 mm (7.9")

• The scanner should not be exposed to direct sunlight. If this is unavoidable, install heavy curtains on the windows.

• The area around the scanner should be free of dust, fumes, and water vapor.

• The area around the scanner must be well ventilated to allow using the volatile roller cleaning paper and paper
roller cleaning fluid.

• Never place the scanner near running water, a heat source, or in an area like a laboratory exposed to volatile,
corrosive, flammable chemicals like ammonia, acetone, benzene, etc.

• Set up the scanner in a room that is well within a comfortable range of temperature and humidity , and not subject
to rapid changes in temperature or humidity.

300 mm (11.8")

Room temperature
15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F)
Relative humidity
20% to 80% RH

• Place the scanner on a clean, flat, stable surface free of vibration and shocks.

• Never place the scanner near office equipment or an appliance that generates a strong magnetic field. The elec­trical “noise” from such a device could interfere with operation of the scanner.

• Never attempt to place or operate the scanner in a vertical position.

• To avoid poor performance caused by static electricity, never operate the scanner on top of a carpet.

Power source

• Use a power source with a voltage level that does not vary more than 10% from the voltage level marked on the
name plate (located on the back side of the scanner).

• Set up the scanner close to an independent power source. Do not plug the scanner power cord into a power outlet
that is shared by other devices or equipment.

• Keep the area around the power outlet free of obstructions in case you need to unplug the power cord quickly in an
emergency .

Power cord

• Use only the power cord supplied with the scanner and do not use an extension cord.

• Do not use a line conditioner, transient suppressor or surge protector.

• Never bundle the power cord or wrap the power cord around an object like a table leg.

• Keep the power cord free. Never place heavy objects on top of the power cord.
