IMAGE FILING SYSTEMS
COMPACT, PORTABLE POWER
Canon is known throughout the world
for its ability to transform the latest
technology into practical applications.
The DR-2580C color scanner is no
exception. It accommodates a wide
range of source materials, including
plastic cards. This powerful
scanner is
both compact and portable, so you
can put it on your desktop, or take it
on the road.
A Desktop Scanner That Handles It All
The DR-2580C is built to boost productivity—it’s capable
of scanning at a rapid rate of up to 25 pages or 50 images
per minute.* With Quick Start Scanning, the DR-2580C is
ready when you are. No warm-up time is necessary—just
power on and begin scanning in black and white,
grayscale, or color.
For maximum flexibility, the DR-2580C offers two feeding
mechanisms: a U-Turn Path and a new Straight Path with a
Floating Sensor unit. To scan thick documents or plastic
cards, such as insurance cards or drivers’ licenses, just
raise the Eject Selection Lever and send the card through
the paper feeder. To scan multiple sheets, use the scan-
ner’s Automatic Document Feeder, which holds up to
50 sheets and makes batch scanning a one-step process.
The DR-2580C can easily handle large documents up to
11" x 14", or 11" x 17" in Folio mode. Scan books or fragile
documents with the same simplicity—just add the optional,
user-installable Flatbed Scanner unit.
*Examples based on typical settings, rated in pages/images per minute with letter-sized documents
at 200 dpi unless otherwise specified. Actual processing speeds may vary based on PC performance
and application software.

Loaded with Powerful Image Processing Software
The DR-2580C arrives bundled with CapturePerfect®3.0
and Adobe
®
Acrobat
® 7.0
, so it’s ready to use right out of
the box. Plus, it’s packed with new, intuitive features that
putyou in control of the image capture process.
CapturePerfect is a robust, out-of-the-box document
imaging application that maximizes the performance
of DR-Series Scanners. The DR-2580C comes with an
updated version of the software, so you can scan, view,
save, distribute, and print office documents more easily
than ever before. CapturePerfect is compatible with every
feature on the DR-2580C and offers a number of post-scan
image editing functions. Equally important, it provides
different ways to scan documents, and you can save files
in a variety of formats, including TIFF, BMP, JPEG, and
searchable PDF. The software also offers a number of
more powerful features such as full-text OCR, encrypted
PDF file creation, and file name indexing capabilities.
Advanced Scanning Technology in a Small Package
The DR-2580C is not only one of the smallest, but also
one of the most easy-to-use scanners in its class. You can
enjoy one-touch scanning by simply assigning your most
common functions to its customizable Scan-To Job buttons.
You’ll be able to enhance black-and-white scans with the
Contrast Adjustment feature that sharpens images and
makestext more distinctive on low-contrast documents.
And you’ll consistently capture high-quality scans
because a built-in shading board automatically adjusts
shading prior to each and every scan job.
The DR-2580C also includes the new Rapid Recovery
System, which sends only completed image data to
your application software, offering seamless scanning
operation should a feeding error occur. And the Punch
Hole Removal function removes the black dots that
appear when you scan pages from booklets or binders.
From the Leader in Imaging Technology
Compact, powerful, and fast. The DR-2580C is a versatile
scanner designed to meet the diverse imaging needs of
your busy office. This innovative machine offers you the
most advanced features in document scanning. Better yet,
it comes bundled with the latest version of CapturePerfect
and Adobe Acrobat, so it’s easy to use right out of the
box. Most important, it’s from Canon, the brand the world
relies on for the latest solutions in imaging technology.
