Canon DR 2080C - document scanner

Entered CNET Catalog: 09/10/2003

Manufacturer: Canon USA, Inc.

Manufacturer description

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.

User Rating: 7/10

Good scanner at a reasonable price

Pros: Sheet feeder can scan whole stacks of paper at a time

Cons: Sometimes feeds several sheets at a time

Review: I bought the DR-2080C to turn filing cabinets full of documents into hard disk files. As such it works very well except for the paper handling... the feeder sometimes takes several pages together instead of one at a time.

It also does surprisingly well with color photos, almost as good as my flatbed.
