Proof good things come in small packages

When it comes to document scanners, workgroups and small departments have often been short changed. That's because, traditionally, the latest and best features were reserved for large scanners with price tags to match. That is until now.

The DR-2580C proves that good things really do come in small packages. This innovative colour document scanner provides the same scanning quality and media versatility of Canon's latest high volume models in a compact and affordable package.

And with the flexibility to scan anything from A4 documents to business cards and cheques, 24-bit colour, fast duplex scanning, easy one-touch operation and a convenient flatbed scanning option, why be short changed?

Fast, high quality scanning

Scanning at a fast 25 pages per minute in black and white or greyscale, the DR-2580C will prove a productive addition to any workplace. The DR-2580c can scan both sides of a double-sided document simultaneously at up to 50 images per minute in black & white or greyscale, and with a 50 page Automatic Document Feeder, batch scanning is a breeze.

Automatic image enhancement

Optimum scan quality is assured with the DR-2580C's image enhancement features. For example, the Auto-Shading Adjustment feature automatically adjusts shading during batch scanning to ensure legibility. The 3-Dimensional Colour Correction feature ensures that the colour of every scan is as close to the original as possible. And the Punch Hole Removal feature detects and removes the black dots left on an image after scanning a document with binder holes.

Space-saving design

Perfect for even the tightest office space, the DR-2580C redefines the concept of compact. Not only is it small in actual size - measuring only 302mm long, 171mm wide and 81mm high - it also requires less space for operation. The front-loading design of the DR-2580C eliminates the unecessary space required around the scanner for feeding and retrieving documents.

Versatile dual paper path design

With the switch of a lever, you can swap between the U-Turn paper path for the fast scanning of regular documents and the Straight paper path for the efficient scanning of irregular documents like thick paper stocks up to 157gsm and even plastic cards.

Simple A3 document scanning

The DR-2580C's innovative folio mode allows you to san documents up to A3 in size by simply folding them in half before placing them in the document feeder. It then automatically scans both sides of the folded document and combines the image into one.

Detachable flatbed scanning option

For even greater scanning versatility, the DR-2580C has the option of a Flatbed Scanning Unit for the easy scanning of bound documents, books and unusually thick or thin documents. You can switch between sheet-fed and flatbed scanning with the press of a button.

Simple one-step operation

With no warm up time required, there's no time wasted. Simply switch the DR-2580C on and it's ready to scan. Its handy one-touch buttons allow you to scan and send, store or print documents in one step. You can also customise these buttons to perform common processes automatically. For example, you can set a button to scan directly to PDF, or prepare a batch of documents for immediate email distribution.

Easy-to-use software included

The bundled Canon CapturePerfect 3.0 software makes it easy to create multiple page files, and add, remove or change the order or pages. Use the searchable PDF feature to turn documents into full-text searchable files. And control who sees, prints and edits information by creating password protected PDF's. Plus the DR-2580C includes the world's leading imaging application - Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard as part of the package.
