real-world choices in terms of misfeed handling and management for optimum
productivity. The
Canon
DR-X10C Scanner’s options for handling misfeeds may at first
seem creative and appear impressive in a simple demo, but side-by-side testing shows
that with a real-world set of documents, productivity is significantly compromised by
Canon’s “retry feeding” feature. This feature takes time to stop the transport, reverse the
document back on the input stack, and repick the document from the stack. The retry
feeding feature may actually lead to the loss of data in misclassified true multifeeds, due
to over-reliance on this feature by operators.
Canon oers users limited options for enhanced productivity while managing
misfed documents.
In the real world of production scanning, a choice is often made to flag a misfeed
and continue scanning to maximize throughput and eciency (as possible with
the
Kodak
i780 Scanner). The
Canon
model does not oer this possibility.
Canon makes no accommodation for real-world documents that are common
in certain industries, such as EKGs or checks taped to a letter-sized document.
These real-world documents are falsely detected as misfeeds by the
Canon
Scanner, slowing down operations; while the
Kodak
i780 Scanner will eectively
image and pass these critical documents through as needed, eciently and with
integrity, providing you with the imaging performance you’ve come to expect
from a trusted vendor like Kodak.
