Canon imageFORMULA DR-2050C User manual

Designed for Tight Budgets and Limited Workspaces
Whether running a small business or managing distributed imaging applications, it's
important to trim the fat within technology investments. The Canon imageFORMULA
DR-2050SP and DR-2050C color scanners suit both tight budgets and tight spaces.
Color Desktop Scanners That Can Handle It All
Don’t let the small footprint of the imageFORMULA DR-2050SP/
2050C models be misleading. These Canon scanners offer
high-quality image output with resolutions of up to 600 dpi*
for all 24-bit color, grayscale, and black-and-white scanning
needs. With scanning speeds of up to 20 pages or 40 images
per minute,** these scanners are built to provide incredible
throughput for high-performance duplex scanning.
The DR-2050SP scanner is an enhancement model of the
DR-2050C color scanner, offering Presentation Mode for direct
connection to any standard projector, without the use of a PC.
And the DR-2050C scanner’s superior speed and exceptional
value are just the beginning of what makes this award-winning
Canon scanner a leader in its class.
Making It Easier to Convert Vital Documents
Productivity enhancement features truly set the Canon
imageFORMULA DR-2050SP/2050C models apart from other
workgroup scanners. Among these are up to 100 user-
preference profiles, a variety of user-friendly image processing
functions such as front and back Color Dropout and Text
Enhancement to help consistently capture document data with
accuracy and simplicity. As intelligent document scanners,
these devices offer automatic image cleanup capabilities for
removing blank pages and borders, and document skew correc-
tion. All together, these features—and many more—help
make the DR-2050SP and DR-2050C color scanners valuable
additions to any workplace.
DR-2050SP
*Except when scanning documents in Scan-to-Projector Mode where resolution is fixed to 150 dpi (DR-2050SP scanner only).
** Examples based on typical settings, rated in pages/images per minute with letter-sized documents at 200 dpi
unless specified. Actual processing speeds may vary based on PC performance and application software.

Reliability Comes Standard
The DR-2050SP/2050C color scanners incorporate Canon’s
renowned, high-precision roller system to help deliver smooth,
jam-free feeding. Whether scanning single-page documents or
multiple sheets of mixed document sizes and thickness, these
Canon scanners offer uninterrupted performance with one of
the most reliable feeding systems in their category. They even
handle multipart forms with a simple flip of the Bypass Switch
for convenient, non-separation feeding.

at an affordable price. The DR-2050C model provides fast,
high-performance duplex scanning in a compact, sleek package.
The DR-2050SP model adds to this package by enabling instan-
taneous presention of scanned documents via any standard
projector, without the need of a PC. Enjoy the built-in, easy
operation of either scanner and discover the benefits of time
and money well spent.
