(*1) For information about the output directions, see “Document Eject Tray,” on p. 22.
(*2) If the document is longer than 11.7" (297 mm), use the bypass mode with feed selection lever for document scanning. (See p. 28.)
(*3) When the scanner is set to Long Document mode it can scan documents on paper that is up to 1,000 mm long. See “Long Document Mode,” on p. 50 for details about Long Document mode.
(*4) For information about feeding a document, see “Placing Documents,” on p. 25.

IMPORTANT

A document must meet the following criteria to be scannable:

- When scanning a multipage document, pages must be grouped together so that they have the same size, thickness, and weight. Scanning different types of paper at one time can cause the scanner to jam.

• When using the U-Turn path to scan a document that is longer than 11.7" (297 mm), use the bypass mode and feed pages one at a time. Attempting to use the U-Turn path for continuous feed scanning of a document that is longer than 11.7" (297 mm) can cause the document pages to fall onto the feed tray and become jammed in the scanner.
• Scanning documents before the ink is dry can cause problems with the scanner. Always make sure that the ink on a document is dry before scanning it.
• Scanning documents that are written in pencil or similar material can make the rollers dirty, which can then transfer the dirt to subsequent documents. Always clean the rollers after scanning a document written in pencil.
• When scanning a two-sided document that is printed on thin paper, the image on the opposite side of each page may show through. Adjust the scanning intensity in the application software before scanning the document.
• Scanning the following types of documents can cause a paper jam or malfunction. To scan such a document, make a photocopy of the document and then scan the photocopy.

Wrinkled or creased documents

Documents with paper clips or staples

Extremely thin, translucent paper

Curled document C

paper

Torn documents Co

aper

• Note that glossy documents or business card sometimes cannot be scanned correctly, or functions such as paper size detection and deskew do not function properly due to reflected light.
• When scanning business cards, make sure to select the bypass mode and straight path.

CAUTION

The results of scanning embossed cards are not guaranteed. Note that scanning embossed cards may scratch the sensor glass.

- Before removing the document guide adapters, be sure to open the upper unit first. Using undue force when removing the document guide adaptors can damage the document tray.

Document Eject Tray

The scanner has two eject methods: documents can be ejected to the front of the scanner in a U-Turn path, or to the back of the scanner in a Straight Path. The eject method can be switched by moving the eject selection lever up and down. Select the eject method according to what you need to do.

Document Eject Tray U-Turn Path Document Feed Openig Straight Path Document Eject Opening

Note

- The U-turn path is used to scan documents on paper of normal thickness. Scanned documents are ejected to the document eject tray.

- The straight path is used to scan documents on thin paper, base paper and business cards that cannot be scanned through the U-turn path. Scanned documents are ejected to the back of the scanner.

Using the U-Turn Path

1. Lower the eject selection lever.

Scanned documents will be ejected to the document eject tray.

Eject Selection Lever

2. Pull the document eject tray extension towards you to open it.

IMPORTANT

• Be careful when opening the document eject tray extension. Forcing it open can damage it.
• Never try to raise the document eject tray extension more than necessary. Doing so can damage it.
• Do not place anything other than documents on the document eject tray extension. Doing so can damage it.
• Make sure the document eject tray extension is open when using the scanner. If the document eject tray extension is not opened, ejected documents can fall from the tray and become jammed in the scanner.

Using the Straight Path

1. Raise the eject selection lever.

Scanned documents will be ejected to the back of the scanner.

Eject Selection Lever

Note

When using the straight path, the ejected documents are stacked in reverse order to how they were fed.

IMPORTANT

• Be sure there is enough space for documents that are ejected behind the scanner when using the straight path. If there is not enough space for ejected documents, the documents may be damaged or a paper jam may occur.
• Switch the position of the eject selection lever before you start scanning. Changing the lever position while scanning is being performed can cause jamming.

3. Placing Documents

There are two methods for paper separation, called the page separation mode and bypass mode for feeding documents. Feeding documents continuously from a stack of documents placed in the feed tray is called the page separation mode. Feeding documents one sheet at a time by hand or feeding multiple sheet documents, such as invoices that are attached at one end, is called the bypass mode. The document feed method can be switched by moving the feed selection lever.

IMPORTANT

• Before you place a document, check to make sure it does not contain paper clips, staples, or other small metal objects. These objects may damage the document, or cause a paper jam or scanner malfunction.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may get caught in the scanner while you are using it. This may result in personal injury. Be extra careful of neckties and long hair. If anything becomes caught in the scanner, immediately disconnect the power cord to stop scanning.
  • Always smooth out any folds or curls in your documents before placing them into the feeder. If the leading edge of a document is curled, it may cause a paper jam.

How to Feed with the Page Separation Mode

1. Move the feed selection lever to the page separation (→ side.

Feed Selection Lever

1. Straighten the edges of the stack of documents to be scanned.

CAUTION

• Do not place the documents on top of the scanner to align them. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

• Be careful when placing a document in the scanner. It is possible to cut your hand on the edge of a sheet of paper.

• Set the document guides so they are wider than the document to be scanned.

Note

Before starting a scan, make sure that the document is loaded in the scanner correctly. Scanning a curled document or a creased document can damage the document.

1. Start scanning from the application.

IMPORTANT

- If the paper feed operation stops due to a system error or a paper jam while the scanner is scanning, resolve the problem, make sure that the scanned image of the last page that was fed has been stored, and then resume the scanning operation.

- Note that documents that are printed on thin paper may fall out of the document eject tray.

• After you finish scanning, close the document feed tray and the document eject tray extension to prevent damage to the scanner while it is not being used.

How to Feed with the Bypass Mode

1. Move the feed selection lever to the nonseparated document (.) side.

Feed Selection Lever

1. Place the document into the document feed tray one sheet at a time, so that it touches the stoppers, and adjust the position of the document guides.

IMPORTANT

- When scanning documents that are fastened together, such as invoices, set the edge that is fastened together as the leading edge.

- Note that when scanning with nonseparated feed, if you place several documents that are not fastened together on the feed tray at one time, they will be fed together.

- In particular, very thin or curled documents will not be fed very well. In this case, lightly press on the leading edge of the documents as you feed them.

The scanner uses a folio scanning method to scan documents that are bigger than LTR/A4 size (maximum A3 size). To do folio scanning, fold the document in half and place it on the scanner. Both sides of the folded document are scanned and combined into a single image.

IMPORTANT

• Attach the document guide adaptors to prevent documents from skewing when doing folio scan. (See p. 21.)
• Use nonseparated document scanning when doing folio scan.
• Firmly set the fold in the document. The fold in the document may cause paper jams or misaligned images.

Note

• Folio scanning is set in the ISIS/TWAIN driver.
• The image on the front of the folded document appears as the left side of the image.
• Combined images can be a maximum of A3 size.
• A seam may appear where the images are combined if the document or the fold in the document is crooked.

Double Feed Detection Function

The scanner is equipped with a [Double Feed Detection] function that automatically detects when two or more documents are fed at the same time (double feed) while doing continuous scanning.

There are two methods for multiple feed detection as shown below, the detection method is selected by the “ISIS/TWAIN driver”.

Detecting Double Feed by Document Length

This detection method is effective when scanning a document on pages that are all the same size. The length of the first page scanned is used as a standard against which the rest of the pages are compared. If any page is 1.96" (50mm) longer or shorter than the first page it is considered a multiple feed and scanning stops.

Detecting Double Feed with Ultrasonic Waves

This detection method is effective when scanning a document on pages that are different sizes. Ultrasonic waves are used to detect pages that are fed at the same time as well as the space between pages. Scanning stops if they are detected.

Note

• Ultrasonic double feed detection works when the documents overlap by 1.96" (50 mm) or more.
• If the documents are stuck together with static electricity, the ultrasonic double feed detection will not correctly detect them as a double feed.

Long Document Mode

Normally the scanner can scan documents up to 13.97" (355 mm) in length, however if you change the settings to the Long Document mode it is possible to scan documents up to a maximum of 39.2" (1,000 mm) in length. To use the Long Document mode, change the scanner's settings to the Long Document mode in scanner properties. Set the paper size in the "ISIS/TWAIN driver" to [Automatic Detection] to allow the scanner to detect documents up to 39.2" (1,000 mm) long and to scan them.

IMPORTANT

Note the following points when using the Long Document mode.

• Documents may be scanned more slowly when the scanner is scanning with automatic size detection in Long Document mode.

• When scanning in the Long Document mode, if the document is placed on the scanner in a skewed position, it may rub against both sides of the feed path and be damaged. Be careful to place the document so it is not skewed.

• When using the Long Document mode, the paper jam detection may react slowly resulting in damage to the document. Be careful to avoid paper jams.

• Be sure to feed paper with the bypass mode when scanning in the Long Document mode.

7. Scanning Hints

This section describes helpful hints for setting up and using your scanner.

Refer to these hints when you set up the ISIS/TWAIN driver. For more details on items not described in this section, see “Software Settings,” on p. 61.

Scanning Double-sided Documents

- I want to scan a double-sided document.

Set Scanning Side to [Duplex].

See “ISIS Driver Settings ⑦,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ⑦,” on p. 64.

Scanning Non-standard Size Documents

- I want to scan non-standard size documents

When a non-standard size document is scanned with a standard size specified, a black margin around the scanned image. If you want to scan nonstandard size documents, set “Page Size” to [Auto-detection]. The size of the document is automatically detected.

See “ISIS Driver Settings ③,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ③,” on p. 64.

- I want to scan documents on extra-long paper.

Set the scanner to Long Document mode and set the “Page Size” to [Auto-detection]. Documents on paper up to 1,000 mm long can be scanned. See “Long Document Mode,” on p. 50.

See “ISIS Driver Settings ③,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ③,” on p. 64.

- I want to register non-standard size documents

A non-standard document size can be registered as a Custom Paper Size. See “ISIS Driver Settings ⑫,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ⑫,” on p. 64.

- I want to scan only part of a document

The scan area can be specified before scanning. Note, however, that the scan area cannot be specified when “Page Size” is set to [Auto-detection].

See “ISIS Driver Settings ⑬,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ⑬,” on p. 64.

Scanning Multiple Documents

- I want to divide a document that cannot be placed all at once into multiple stacks and scan them as a single file

Set the “Feeding Option” in the Scanner Settings to [Automatic Feeding].

When the scanner detects a document, scanning starts automatically, and you can continue scanning batches until your job is complete.

When “Feeding Option” is set to [Panel-Feeding], scanning does not start until you place your document and press Scan button. This is handy when you need to align the edges of the document after it has been placed.

See “ISIS Driver Settings ⑧,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ⑧,” on p. 64.

- I want to divide up scanned images by individual document stacks to save as separate files

Set the “Feeding Option” to [Automatic Feeding] or [Panel-Feeding], and set “Batch Separation” to [Auto]. (ISIS driver only)

See “ISIS Driver Settings ⑧,” on p. 62, and “ISIS Driver Settings ⑨,” on p. 62.

- I want to scan a document one sheet at a time

Set the “Feeding Option” to [Automatic Feeding] or [Panel-Feeding] to scan one sheet at a time. Scanning is interrupted after one page of the document is scanned.

If the “Feeding Option” is set to [Automatic Feeding] and the next document is loaded, the scanner starts scanning when it detects the next document.

If the “Feeding Option” is set to [Panel-Feeding] and the next document is loaded, the scanner starts scanning when the Scan button is pressed.

See “ISIS Driver Settings ⑧,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ⑧,” on p. 64.

- I want scanning to stop if two or more pages of the document are fed together.

Enable the double feed detection function. The scanner stops feeding the document if it detects that two pages of the document have been fed at the same time.

See “ISIS Driver Settings ⑮,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ⑭,” on p. 64.

Scanning Documents Containing Blank Sheets

- I want to skip blank sheets contained in a document stack.

Set “Scanning Side” to [Skip blank page]. [Double-sided scanning] is not performed, and blank pages are skipped.

See “ISIS Driver Settings ⑦,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ⑦,” on p. 64.

- Blank sheets are not skipped even if [Skip blank page] is set.

Set a higher [Ratio of black pixels] value (adjust the slider towards the right). If a low [Ratio of black pixels] value is set, blank sheets are sometimes not skipped due to the background color or dirt on the document.

- Documents full of text are skipped as blank sheets.

Set a lower [Ratio of black pixels] value (adjust the slider towards the left). If a high [Ratio of black pixels] value is set, even documents full of text are sometimes skipped as blank sheets.

Scanning Side : Skip blank page Ratio of black pixels : 0.2% When a blank sheet is not skipped, adjust the slider to the right. When a text document is skipped, adjust the slider to the right.

Adjusting Scanned Image

- I want to clearly scan dark background images

Set “Mode” to [Advanced Text Enhancement]. The background of the document is removed to enhance the text.

See “ISIS Driver Settings ②,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ②,” on p. 64.

- I want to scan the document with its black and white areas reversed

Set the Scanning Modes to [Black and white], [Error diffusion], or [Advanced Text Enhancement] and check the [Reverse Image] checkbox.

Black and white areas are reversed in the scanned images. (TWAIN Driver only)

See “TWAIN Driver Settings ②,” on p. 64, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ⑯,” on p. 64.

- I want to rotate the scanned image

Specify the amount of rotation ( 0^ , 90^ , 180^ , 270^ ) in [Document Orientation]. The image is rotated as noted below depending on how the document is placed.

Feeder, document: face up
Flatbed, document: face down
Document Orientation (clockwise)	0° 90°	180° 270°
Output image	ABC	ABC	ABC	ABC

See “ISIS Driver Settings ⑮,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ⑮,” on p. 64.

- I want to rotate the image to coincide with the text on the document

Check the [Text Orientation Recognition] checkbox. The scanner detects the orientation of the text in the document and rotates the scanned image 90^ at a time.

See “ISIS Driver Settings ⑰,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ⑰,” on p. 64.

• I want to skip specific colors

Specify the color to skip during scanning in [Color drop-out].

See “ISIS Driver Settings ②1,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ②1,” on p. 64.

- I want to enhance specific colors (red, blue, green)

Select the color to enhance (red, blue or green) at [Color drop-out].

See “ISIS Driver Settings ②1,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ②1,” on p. 64.

- I want to enhance image contours

Adjust the "Edge emphasis" setting.

See “ISIS Driver Settings ⑳,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ⑳,” on p. 64.

- I want to delete black borders around images

Check the [Border Removal] checkbox.

See “ISIS Driver Settings ②,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ②,” on p. 64.

- I want to delete the black spots that are left when scanning documents that have had holes put in them to be stored in a binder

Check the [Punch Hole Removal] checkbox.

See “ISIS Driver Settings ②3,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ②3,” on p. 64.

Prescan Function

- I want to preview the image before I scan it

Check the [Prescan] checkbox.

When scanning starts, a single page of the document is scanned so you can check the image in the preview window displayed on the scanning panel.

See “ISIS Driver Settings ⑩,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ⑨,” on p. 64.

Registering Settings

- I want to use preset scanning conditions again

Assign a name to the scanning conditions and register them as a user preference. If you select the name of an already registered user preference, the conditions you set overwrite the settings of the selected user preference.

See “ISIS Driver Settings ①,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ①,” on p. 64.

Flatbed Scanning (Option)

• I want to scan on the flatbed

Set the “Scanning Side” setting to [Flatbed] or [Auto]. When Scanning Side is set to [Auto], the document on the [Flatbed] is scanned when there is no longer a document in the document feed opening.

If the flatbed unit is not connected, [Flatbed] and [Auto] do not appear in the “Scanning Side” settings.

See “ISIS Driver Settings ⑦,” on p. 62, and “TWAIN Driver Settings ⑦,” on p. 64.

1. Regular Maintenance

Clean the scanner on a regular basis as described below to maintain peak scanning quality.

CAUTION

• When cleaning the scanner or inside of the scanner, turn OFF the power switch and unplug the Power Cord from the outlet.
• Do not use excessive force when removing or attaching the rollers. Doing so may damage them.
• Never use paint thinner, alcohol, or other organic solvents to clean the scanner. Such solvents can damage or discolor the exterior of the scanner. They also create a risk of fire or electrical shock.

Cleaning the Scanner

To clean the exterior of the scanner, dampen a cloth with water or a mild detergent, wring the cloth out thoroughly, and then wipe the dirt away. Then use a dry, soft cloth to wipe away any moisture.

Cleaning the feed path

Dust or paper particles in the document feed opening or inside the scanner can cause lines in scanned images. Use a blower to periodically clean dust and paper particles from the document feed opening and the inside of the scanner. After finishing a large scanning job, you should turn off the scanner and then clean out any paper particles.

Cleaning the Sensor Glass, Shading Boards, and the Rollers

If scanned images have extraneous marks, or if the scanned documents are dirty, then the sensor glass or rollers inside the scanner may be dirty. Clean them periodically.

1. Pressing the OPEN knob from both sides, raise the upper unit.

OPEN

Note

• The location of the sensor glass and various rollers are shown below.
• The scanner has white, 0.08" (2 mm) wide shading boards located at the front and back of the upper and lower sensor glasses. The scanner uses the shading boards to determine white standards during scanning. Dirty shading boards can cause stripes in scanned images. Periodically clean them to ensure good scanning results.

The retard roller and roller unit are consumable components. You need to replace the retard roller and roller unit when cleaning does not appear to improve them. Contact your local authorized Canon dealer and buy a roller replacement kit and then replace the retard roller and the roller unit.

Roller Unit Retard Roller

Saved Image Files Do Not Open

When image files saved by CapturePerfect 3.0 cannot be opened by other applications, the probable causes are as follows.

Symptoms A multi-page TIFF file saved in CapturePerfect 3.0 cannot be opened by other applications.

Problem The application you are using to open the TIFF file does not support multi-page TIFF files.

Solution Open the file with an application that supports multi-page TIFF files.

Symptoms A TIFF file saved in CapturePerfect 3.0 cannot be opened by other applications.

Problem If the TIFF file saved in CapturePerfect 3.0 has been compressed, the application you are using to open the TIFF file does not support the compression type that was used to save the file in CapturePerfect 3.0.

Solution Set the compression type for the image file to [None] and save the file again in CapturePerfect 3.0.

Scanning Results Are Not as Expected

If there is a problem with the scanning result (e.g., the scanned image is not clear, or the image is striped or dirty), the probable causes are incorrect ISIS/TWAIN driver settings or a problem with the scanning unit inside the scanner. Scanning results can also become skewed if the ISIS/TWAIN driver has not been installed correctly, or the application in use does not support ISIS/TWAIN driver functions.

Symptoms The scanned image is too dark (or faint).

Problem The [Brightness] setting is not set to an appropriate value.

Solution If the image is dark, set a higher [Brightness] setting, or if the image is faint, set a lower [Brightness] setting. (See “Software Settings,” on p. 61.)

Symptoms Text or images on the rear side of your document appear in the scanned image.

Problem The [Brightness] setting is too low, or the paper is too thin.

Solution Set a higher [Brightness] setting. If the paper is too thin, make a copy of the documents and then scan the copy.

Symptoms Double-sided scanning is not possible.

Problem [Scanning Side] is set to [Simplex].

Solution Set [Scanning Side] to [Double-sided].

Symptoms A black margin appears around the scanned document.

Problem A document smaller than the preset paper size has been scanned. Or, the loaded document has shifted out of position.

Solution Set [Paper size] to [Auto-detection]. Or, set [Border Removal] to on.

Symptoms The scanned image is skewed.

Problem The document has been fed at an angle. (skew)

Solution Use the document guide adapter to prevent document skew, and set [Deskew] to on. (See “Software Settings,” on p. 61.)

Symptoms Lines, smudges, or dirt appear on the scanned image.

Problem The scanning glass or rollers inside the scanner are dirty.

Solution Clean the scanning glass and rollers.

If lines still appear on the image even after cleaning the scanning glass and rollers, the scanning glass inside the scanner may be scratched. Contact your local authorized Canon dealer or service representative. (See p. 70.)

Symptoms The scanned image is abnormal for certain documents.

Problem Functions such as [Auto-detection], [Deskew], or [Border Removal] were used when scanning documents containing text or photos up to their edges. (The scanner cannot accurately process the edges of documents.)

Solution Turn off functions such as [Auto-detection], [Deskew], or [Border Removal] when scanning documents containing text or photos up to their edges. (See “Software Settings,” on p. 61.)

Symptoms The scanned image is abnormal in some applications.

Problem A function not supported by the application was used.

Solution Some applications do not support functions such as auto-detection of the paper size. Scanning documents with an application such as this will result in an abnormal scanned image. Try scanning with auto-detection of the paper size set to “off.”

The Flatbed Scanner (Option) Does Not Work

Operational failure of the optional flatbed scanner unit can be caused by any of the reasons described below. Try the solution according to the problem.

Problem The ISIS/TWAIN scanner is set to something other than Flatbed.

Solution Set the ISIS/TWAIN driver to [Flatbed]. Refer to Help for the ISIS/TWAIN Driver for information about the ISIS/TWAIN Driver settings.

Problem The interface connector is not connected.

Solution Check the connections between the DR-2580C and the flatbed scanner unit.

Problem The DR-2580C is not installed correctly.

Solution Check the document size, thickness, and paper type. Remove the DR-2580C scanner and then reinstall it correctly.

Problem The hook is not correctly attached to the DR-2580C.

Solution Remove the DR-2580C scanner and then reinstall it correctly.

Problem The DR-2580C scanner was installed without removing the transport locks.
