Before Using the Scanner
Features of the DR-2050C
The main features of the DR-2050C scanner are listed below.
■
Compact Configuration
The scanner has a very compact configuration, measuring only 11.7" (298
mm) (W) x 7.7" (197 mm) (H) x 3.9" (100 mm) (D). The small footprint of
this standup vertical scanner saves space.
■
Fast Document Feeding
The scanner can scan a maximum of 20 documents per minute in a range of
sizes from business cards to LTR/A4 size. (Scanning conditions: Black and
white, LTR/A4 size portrait, two sided, 200 dpi.)
■
USB 2.0 Interface
Connecting to a computer is done with Hi-Speed USB 2.0 protocol.
■
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
■
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 it, even when storing a document of irregular size.
■
Folio Scan
A folio (folded in half) document can be set for scanning as it is, and the
scanned images of both sides are combined as a single image. (See p. 52.)
■
Deskew
The Deskew function automatically straightens an image if the document
was loaded askew.
■
Character Orientation Detector
Identifies the orientation of characters in a document, and rotates the image
so the orientation of the scanned characters is straight.
■
Text Enhancement
The scanner is equipped with a Text Enhancement mode that allows you to
clearly scan text printed on a dark background, and text that is written in
faint pencil.
■
Dropout Color
The scanner is equipped with a Dropout Color function that allows you to
specify a color for the scanner to omit from scanned images.
