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.

irregular size.
● Auto Color Detection
The scanner detects whether the scanned document is in color,
grayscale, or black and white, and saves the image accordingly.
● Full Auto Mode
A Full Auto Mode is provided in CaptureOnTouch and the scanner
driver to allow scanning under automatically determined conditions.
Scanning conditions such as the color mode and page size are set
automatically based on the document being scanned.
● Auto Resolution Detection
When enabled in the CaptureOnTouch or scanner driver settings,
this function detects the content of documents and determines the
scanning resolution automatically.
● Folio Scan
You can scan folded documents. The scanner will scan both sides
and combine the scanned images into a single image.
● Deskew
The scanner is equipped with a deskew function that straightens
images before saving them when documents are scanned askew.
The scanned images are straightened, as opposed to the actual
document sheets.
● Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection
Ultrasonic waves are used to detect pages that are fed at the same
time as well as the space between pages. Scanning stops if a
double feed is detected.

pages, regardless of whether each page of the document is twosided or one-sided. Both sides are scanned, but saving the image
is skipped for scan images judged to be from a blank page.
17
● Prescan Function
Hint
The scanner is equipped with a Prescan function that allows you to
adjust the contrast and brightness of a prescanned image and then
send the adjusted image to the application software, without

• It is recommended that documents exceeding 356 mm (14") 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.
• Laminated documents may not be scanned correctly, depending
on the document.

How to Place Documents
IMPORTANT
Scanning multiple documents
Standard paper feeding should be used when scanning multiple
documents of a standard size at one time. Standard paper feeding
enables multiple documents to be fed while separating each page.
1
Open the document eject tray.
2
Pull out the eject support.
When placing long documents, pull out the document eject
extension support to match the length of those documents. Also,
stand the eject stopper at the end of the eject support if necessary.
Pull out the eject support and document eject extension support.
3
Pull out the feed support.
Open the feed extension support when placing long documents.
24
4
IMPORTANT
Set the feed selection lever to Normal mode.
5
Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the
document to be scanned.
6
Place the document.
After placing the document, align the document guides with both
edges of the document.
• When placing documents into the feed tray, take care not to cut
your hand on the edges of the paper.
• 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, as 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 eject tray to prevent
damage to the scanner while it is not being used.
25
When scanning a document one page
IMPORTANT
CAUTION
at a time (non separation mode)
When scanning a thick document one page at a time or scanning a
document that has multiple pages fastened together, set the feed
selection lever to Bypass mode. This enables the placed document to
be scanned without the pages being separated, regardless of the
number of pages.
1
Set the feed selection lever to Bypass mode.
2
Place the document as described in the “Scanning
multiple documents” procedure on p. 24.
• When scanning multiple page documents that are fastened
together, such as invoices, place the documents so that the
edge that is fastened together is facing down.
• If double-feeding occurs, press the scanner's DFR button to
continue the scan, or clear the [Detect by Ultrasonic] check box
in the [Feeding] tab on the scanner driver settings screen. (See
p. 31)
Loading passports
To scan a passport, insert the passport into the carrier sheet provided
with the scanner and then place it onto the scanner.
1
Set the Feed Selection Lever to Bypass Mode.
When scanning passports, make sure to set the Feed Selection
Lever to Bypass Mode.
2
Open the page of the passport that you want to scan and
insert it into the carrier sheet.
26
3
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
Load the document with the page you want to scan facing
down.
After placing the document, align the document guides with both
edges of the document.
• If the carrier sheet or passport is not loaded properly, you may
get a document jam or not get a scan image as intended.
• When scanning passports, clear the [Detect by Ultrasonic]
check box in the [Feeding] tab on the scanner driver settings
screen. (See p. 31)
• Depending on the condition of the carrier sheet or passport, the
image may not be scanned completely or the scanner's image
correction may not function properly. If this is the case, set
[Page Size] to a larger paper size (A4, for example) on the
scanner driver settings screen, and then scan again. (See
p. 56)
• If the size of the passport differs greatly from the size of the
carrier sheet, a document jam may occur or the scanner's
image correction may not function properly.
• When scanning passports, set [Dots per inch] to 300 dpi or less
on the scanner driver settings screen.(See p. 57)
• The maximum thickness that can be scanned is 4 mm with the
passport inserted inside the carrier sheet. If the thickness
exceeds 4 mm, the scanner may break down due to problems
such as paper jam.
• Documents other than passports should not be inserted into the
carrier sheet and scanned. This may cause the scanner to
break down.
• Carrier sheet is a consumable item. Replace it with a new one
when necessary, if there are clear damages or smudges.
Placing Cards
When scanning cards, set the feed selection lever to Bypass mode
and then place one card at a time horizontally.
1
Set the feed selection lever to Bypass mode
2
Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the card to
be scanned.
3
Place the card horizontally, with the reverse side facing
you, and the top of the card facing down.
27
CAUTION
• Place the cards one at a time.
Hint
• When scanning cards, place them to be fed horizontally. 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.
• When scanning cards, clear the [Detect by Ultrasonic] check box in
the [Feeding] tab on the scanner driver settings screen. (See p. 31)
In such a case, set the feed selection lever to Normal mode before
scanning.
Placing Folded Documents
Folio Scan enables you to scan documents that are larger than LTR/
A4 and therefore do not fit in the feeder. To use the function, fold the
document in half lengthwise and place it into the feeder. The DR-C240
will scan both sides and combine the scanned images into a single
image.
1
Set the feed selection lever to Bypass mode.
2
Opens the scanner driver's Detail Settings screen. (See
p. 54)
3
Set [Page Size] on the [Basic] tab to a size that is half that
of the paper to be actually scanned, and set [Scanning
Side] to [Folio].
For example, when scanning a document of A3 size
folded, set [Page Size] to [A4].
