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

aspeed 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.

Documents

The scanner can scan documents ranging in size from business cards and checks to LTR/A4/LGL. The document sizes that this scanner can scan are shown below.

Plain Paper

Size

Paper weight

Loading capacity

Width: 50.8 mm to 216 mm (2" to 8.5") Length: 70 mm to 356 mm (2.756" to 14")

64 to 128 g/m2 (0.08 to 0.15 mm (0.0031" to 0.0059"))

Approx. 20 sheets (64 g/m2 (17 lb bond))

Make sure stacks do not exceed 3 mm in height

19

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.

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	Carbon paper
	documents
	Curled documents	Coated paper
	Torn documents	Extremely thin, translucent
		paper
	Documents with paper clips	Documents with excessive
	or staples	paper dust particles.

When scanning small size of multiple documents such as receipt, use documents which have the same width.

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.

2Turn 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.
