We did struggle scanning some very old invoices that were typed onto thin (almost transparent) paper - but Canons Quick Reference Guide does advise avoiding such documents. The occasional A3 we reduce on the photocopier and A5 we enlarge before scanning. The scanner copes with well with nearly all the A4 documents we use. We have only tried the USB connection, no doubt the SCSI connection would be faster still. The scanner is quick and needs to be connected to a 'fast' computer or it won't be able to keep up.

The document feeder has been faultless (except when we've missed one of the staples), both sides of each sheet are scanned as quickly as one (our software deletes any blank sides), and the resulting scan is automatically numbered and saved onto the file server. With the right software, we use SolarSys Docscan Pro, scanning is almost totally automatic. Our filing cabinets are empty and everyone has immediate access to the archived information. Scanning our sales orders on completion, with the high speed double-sided A4 scanner, takes no longer than the filing we did previously. We have been using the DR-3080CII for nearly a year now and would have no hesitation in recommending it. This even works when scanning in black & white (binary) mode. This setting is then applied to the rest of the batch, without having to re-scan the first page. When viewing the image of the first page on screen you can adjust brightness and contrast and see immediate results (unlike the preview function).

Other user-friendly features include up to 20 user-preference settings and a handy help function.Ī unique 'pre-scan' mode simplifies operation and saves time when scanning a batch of documents. When simplex and duplex documents are mixed in a batch, a 'skip blank page' function automatically detects and discards blank pages. Innovative technology promotes fast throughput whether you're scanning in colour or grayscale.Īn on-screen 'scan panel' display enables quick and easy operation, allowing users to change settings via this virtual operation panel, even for batch separation. Furthermore, the DR-3080C offers a 24-bit colour mode for either simplex or duplex scanning. If a document contains photos, Error Diffusion or 256-level Grayscale mode deliver better results.

Standard text documents can be scanned in Black & White (Binary) mode at speeds of up to 40ppm (or 80 image per minute when duplexing). The Canon DR-3080CII document management scanner provides diverse scanning options.
