Features of the Scanner
The main features of the R10 document scanner are described
below.
Compact Size
The scanner has a compact size of 285 mm (W) x 40 mm (H) x 95
mm (D) (11.22" x 1.57" x 3.74") when the document feed tray is
closed.
Bus-Powered
Supporting USB 2.0 bus power, the scanner is capable of scanning at
a speed of 12 black-and-white (grayscale) pages per minute and 9
24-bit color pages per minute using bus power via a single USB cable
(200-dpi simplex scanning of A4 documents is assumed in both
examples).
Auto Start Function
Scanning is enabled immediately by simply connecting the scanner
to a computer and starting the CaptureOnTouch Lite software that
comes preinstalled in the scanner. There is no need to install a driver.
Auto Power ON/OFF
This feature automatically turns the power ON or OFF when the feed
tray is opened or closed.
Equipped with Feeder
Up to 20 pages of a document can be loaded and then fed
continuously, or one at a time.
Dedicated Card Slot
The scanner includes a dedicated slot for scanning plastic cards.
Color and Grayscale Support
The scanner is capable of scanning a document in 24-bit color or
256-level grayscale.
Two-Sided Scanning
The scanner supports one-sided and two-sided scanning. Using the
skip blank pages function enables you to scan without worrying about
whether to scan one side or both sides of a document because
scanned images of blank pages are not saved.
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 Lite 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 Lite, this function detects the
content of documents and determines the scanning resolution
automatically.
Document Size Auto Detection
This feature enables automatic detection of the page size of a
scanned document. The space around the edges of documents can
be omitted during scanning, even for non-standard size documents.
Deskew
Even if a document is slanted when fed into the scanner, the scanned
image can be straightened.
Text Enhanced Mode
Advanced Text Enhancement II is provided to improve the readability
when scanning documents in which the background is uniform and
both the text and background are light.
*This feature may not work effectively for some documents
5
Drop-Out Color
This feature makes it possible to ignore specific colors when
scanning a document.
Picture Mode
The [Apply corrections suitable for photographs] features
compensates for underexposed and overexposed images for photoquality scans with finer gradation.
Prescan
This feature allows you to scan just the first page of a document,
confirm the scanned image and adjust the brightness and contrast,
and then scan the remaining pages of the document.
Auto Detection of Document in Feeder
An automatic start function is provided for detecting when a
document is placed in the feeder and then starting scanning
automatically.

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.
A document must meet the following criteria to be scannable:
When scanning multiple documents of different sizes, place
the documents so that they cover the entire span of the feed
rollers.
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.

When loading a multi-page document, place the pages of the
document with their edges slightly askew.
• Straighten out the creases and folds at the ends of the
manuscript.
• Load the document into the feed inlet of the scanner with the

If double-feeding occurs, reduce the number of pages that you load
into the scanner at one time.
When scanning small size of multiple documents such as receipt, use
documents which have the same width.
Depending on paper quality, you may hear unusual noises while
scanning some documents, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
Loading cards
Use the card slot when scanning plastic cards. Use the following
procedure to scan the cards one by one.
1 Open the document feed tray.
2 Turn the card face up, and insert the card straight into the card slot.
When the edge of the card touches the slot, the rollers will move automatically.
The roller will stop when it has caught the edge of the card, allowing you to let
go of the card and start scanning from an application.
The card will be fed when you start scanning with an application
program. After the card has been fed completely, the rollers will turn
in the opposite direction and scanning of the card will start.
The scanned card will be ejected from the front card slot.
The card slot is disabled when documents are placed on the feed tray.
When you want to insert a card in the card slot, remove any
documents from the feed tray.
During scanning, a portion of the card will protrude from the rear card
slot at the rear of the scanner. Keep the area in front of the rear card
slot clear of objects.
Embossed cards may not be scanned correctly, depending on the
type of embossment.
