Chapter 1 Before Using the Scanner

1-2 Features of the DR-4010C Document Scanner

The main features of the DR-4010C document scanner are described below.

•Fast Document Feeding

The scanner can scan a maximum of 42 documents per minute in a range of sizes from business cards to LTR/A4 size. (Scanning conditions: Black and white, LTR/A4 size portrait, 200 dpi.) Scanning speed is the same for both color and grayscale scanning.

•USB/SCSI Interface Supported

The USB interface that was provided as standard on your computer and SCSI extension cards are supported. (See “2-2 Installation Requirements,” on p. 2-2.)

•Color/Grayscale Support

Documents can be scanned in 24-bit color or 256-level grayscale.

•Supports a Variety of Scanning Modes

The scanner supports the following scanning modes, depending on the document type:

-Single-sided/double-sided mode

-Single sheet/dual feeding path

•U-Turn Path

Documents are fed and ejected from the front of the scanner. (See “3-2 Document Feed and Eject Tray,” on p. 3-3.)

•Straight Path

Documents are ejected to the back of the scanner. Note that the ejected documents are stacked in the reverse order from which they were fed. (See “3-2 Document Feed and Eject Tray,” on p. 3- 3.)

•Paper Size Detection

The scanner automatically detects the size of a scanned document and eliminates any unnecessary space around the edges of the image when storing the image, even when storing a document of irregular size.

•Double Feed Detection

The scanner stops feeding documents after detecting more than one document being fed at the same time. (See “Double Feed Detection Function,” on p. 3-30.)

•Deskew

The scanner straightens images after detecting that a document was placed askew.

•Card Scan

You can scan business or ID cards. Note that embossed credit cards or similar items cannot be scanned. (See “3-1 Documents,” on p. 3-1.)

•Auto Color Detection

The scanner detects whether the scanned document is in color or black-and-white, and saves the image accordingly.

•Text Orientation Recognition

This mode identifies the orientation of characters in a document, and rotates the image so the orientation of the scanned characters is straight.
