Not bad for a SOHO desktop product

 

I have a Canon DR-2080C duplex document scanner and I have found two minor but annoying drawbacks: (1) Sometimes its feeder takes a pair of pages sticking together, so it scans the front of one and the back of the other, ignoring the sides facing one...

Sheet feeder, duplex, fast

Only one brightness control for front and back

REAL POWER IN A LITTLE PACKAGE!

 

REAL POWER IN A LITTLE PACKAGE!

This little thing can easily scan mountains of pages in short order and do it with clear easy to read reproduction. I don't know how Canon gets so much into this rather narrow case. I highly recommend the unit. And once you adjust the paper...

Flaw product - avoid it!

 

Flaw product - avoid it!

Every time I have to use this scanner, it is a nightmare. The worst: the paper feed. Canon rates 50 pages that you can put into the feeder. That is far from the truth. 3-5 is the max! If paper is folded or crumpled, you have to feed sheet after sheet...

Canon DR-2080C Color Document Scanner

 

Software for the scanner includes spyware

The scanner seems to do well with scanning to .pdf files. The OCR software does not seem very good, though, and the document feeder has not worked too well for me. Most frustrating is that the software for the scanner includes SPYWARE that Norton...

Now w/USB 2.0 & Acrobat compatible!

 

I just purchased my DR 2080C this week after having read reviews on this site, which were very helpful. The more recent reviews here pointed out that the scanner has been updated to allow the choice of either SCSI or USB 2.0. One complaint that did not...

Duplex, auto-page-size, ability to remove background color

No auto page size when used from Acrobat, but scanner **does* work from Acrobat!

Product Specifications

For today's small businesses and distributed scanning applications, the ultra-compact Canon DR-2080C offers a level of high performance that makes it anything but a lightweight. The product of radical reshaping, defined by its sleek profile and ergonomic design, it has a footprint so small it fits into the tightest spaces - even your budget. At a mere 5.5 lb., Canon's DR-2080C carries a lot of weight, yet still leaves you extra elbow room. A little clout, without any clutter. There's never been a better reason to take the big leap into high-performance scanning - especially now that it's been trimmed down, both in size and price, yet without any reduction in image quality. It's what makes Canon's DR-2080C such an incredible value - the undisputed leader in its class. The DR-2080C offers superior high resolution, up to 600 dpi for all your 24-bit color, grayscale, and black-and-white scanning needs. It captures even the most intricate details of text and photos, all in a single pass. And does it continuously, at incredible scanning speeds - up to 20 pages per minute/ simplex mode, and 40 images per minute/duplex mode. Together, these features produce the kind of throughput you never thought possible at this level. The DR-2080C is built to the same performance standards inherent in Canon's renowned family of DR-Scanners. Able to scan batches of mixed documents of different sizes, shapes, and weight, it defies convention, redefining the limits of the category. With its unique feeding system, throughput is increased, and presorting delays are kept to a minimum. Even multipart forms are easily scanned using the convenient bypass. All of which makes Canon's DR-2080C the one you can rely on to deliver uninterrupted performance, through thick and thin.
