▲MANUAL

THICKNESS

ADJUSTMENT

Especially useful when scanning very thick or very thin papers, this function enables users to manually specify paper thickness so that documents may be fed smoothly into the scanner.

▲FIXED THICKNESS

MODE

▲DOUBLE FEED

DETECTION

This mode disables the scanner’s automatic paper thickness detection function; in doing so, it instructs the scanner to use the paper thickness value established through manual thickness adjustment (above).

This function memorizes the length and thickness of the first page in the stack, and compares these values to every other page in the stack. An error message is displayed when a double feed (simultaneous feeding of two or more pages) occurs. This function should be OFF when feeding stacks of various paper types and sizes.

For further details on these features, please refer to section 3.3 of the DR-5020/5080C Instructions manual (“Setting Scan Conditions”).

DR-5020, DR-5080C specifications

The Canon DR-5080C and DR-5020 are high-performance document scanners designed for businesses and organizations requiring efficient and reliable document management solutions.
