PRECAUTIONS
1
● Make sure that your documents are within the acceptable scanning sizes.
Width: 2.2 – 12 inches (55 – 305 mm)
Length: 2.8 – 17 inches (70 – 432 mm)
Documents up to 39.4 inches (1000 mm) can be scanned in the extra long mode.
Thickness: 0.06 – 0.15 mm (auto feed), 0.05 – 0.3 mm (manual feed)
Weight: 16 – 32 lb. bond (60 – 120 g/m2)
● If there is any wet ink or paste on the document, wait until the ink or paste has thoroughly
dried before scanning the document.
● Always clean the scanning rollers after scanning a document that has pencil writing on it.
● Scanning a double-sided document printed on thin paper may result in an image in which
elements from the opposite page show through. To avoid this, adjust brightness in the
application software.
● If you scan documents with a rough surface, friction between the documents may cause a
feeding error. If this happens, select manual feeding and scan the documents one by one.
● When you scan a batch of NCR documents, make sure they are not stuck together.
Refer to Chapter 4.1 of the DR-6080/9080C Instructions manual for further details on acceptable document types and how
to place documents on the scanner.

SCANNING BASICS
GETTING STARTED
This section explains the basic steps involved in scanning a
document. It assumes that the batch to be scanned contains papers
all of the same size and thickness. When using either the DR-6080 or
the DR-9080C, you should always make sure that the scanner has
been turned ON before turning on the computer connected to it.
STEP
1
To prepare the DR-6080/9080C for document scanning, first pull out
the document tray extension from the scanner’s lower section (the
document tray). If the document extends beyond the edge of the
document tray, then also open the extension wire.
2
The purpose of this Quick Reference is to provide a
concise overview of the DR-6080/9080C. It is designed
to supplement—not replace—the Instructions manual
included with the scanner. Please review the DR6080/9080C Instructions manual for key information
on safety precautions, installation procedures, and
maintenance guidelines.

■ Long Documents
If the document you are scanning is long, open the document eject
tray extension. Next, lift up the stopper and adjust its position to match
the length of the document.
■ Short Documents
If the document you are scanning is short, use the stopper without
opening the document eject tray extension. Lift up the stopper and adjust
its position to match the length of the document.
If the document being ejected drifts to the left or right, then adjust the
position of the document eject guides. These are located on either
side of the scanner’s upper tray (the document eject tray).

■ Standard:
Select this mode when you wish to use your application software to start or stop
scanning.
■ Panel:
Select this mode when you need to continuously scan multiple batches of
documents, and the batches differ from one another in the size of the
documents they contain. Scanning starts by pressing the scanner’s built-in Start
key.
■ Automatic:
Select this mode to continuously scan multiple batches of documents that are
all the same size. The scanner will detect documents placed on its Document
Tray and begin scanning automatically.
■ Manual (Bypass Mode):
This mode is intended for documents which cannot be smoothly fed into the
scanner. In this mode, documents are fed into the scanner one page at a time.
Wait until step 5 to select this mode. (See p.7)
