Supports a Variety of Scanning Modes
The scanner supports the following scanning modes, depending on
the document type:
• Single-sided or double-sided scanning (with Skip Blank Page
function)
• Continuous or single sheet feed
Card Scan
You can scan business or ID cards.
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 the image, even when storing a document of
irregular size.
Auto Color Detection
The scanner detects whether the scanned document is in color,
grayscale, or black and white (binary), and saves the image
accordingly.
Full Auto Mode
A Full Auto Mode is provided in CaptureOnTouch and the scanner
driver to allow scanning under automatically determined conditions.
Scanning conditions such as the color mode and page size are set
automatically based on the document being scanned.
Auto Resolution Detection
When enabled in the CaptureOnTouch or scanner driver settings, this
function detects the content of documents and determines the
scanning resolution automatically.
Folio Scan
You can scan folded documents. The scanner will scan both sides
and combine the scanned images into a single image.
Deskew
The scanner straightens scanned images when it detects that the
document was placed askew.
Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection
Ultrasonic waves are used to detect pages that are fed at the same
time as well as the space between pages. Scanning stops if a double
feed is detected.
Text Enhancement Modes
The scanner is equipped with the Advanced Text Enhancement Mode
(only for Windows), for enhancing the text of documents with dark or
uneven backgrounds, and the Advanced Text Enhancement II mode,
for enhancing the text when both the text and background are light.
These modes may not work, depending on the type of document.
Color Drop-out
The scanner is equipped with a Color Drop-out function that enables
you to specify a color for the scanner to omit from the scanned image
during black and white or grayscale scanning.
Skip Blank Page Function
The scanner is equipped with a Skip Blank Page function that
enables you to scan a document without storing images of blank
pages, regardless of whether each page of the document is two-
sided or one-sided. Both sides are scanned, but saving the image is
skipped for scan images judged to be from a blank page.
Prescan Function
The scanner is equipped with a Prescan function that allows you to
adjust the contrast and brightness of a prescanned image and then
send the adjusted image to the application software, without needing
to scan the document again.
Character/Line Emphasis Function
If characters and lines in scanned images are not clearly visible, you
can use this function to adjust their thickness during scanning.
CaptureOnTouch
The bundled CaptureOnTouch software lets you register specific
scanning procedures suited to particular document types and
applications for easy access just by selecting the scanning job.
Scanning Shortcut
Using CaptureOnTouch, you can register commonly used
combinations of scan modes and output methods as [Scanning
Shortcut] for quick access. Any [Scanning Shortcut] can be assigned
a start button.
Auto Start
The scanner is equipped with an auto start function, which enables
scanning to be automatically started when a document placed in the
feeder is detected.

5
Sleep Mode
The scanner is designed to save energy by entering the sleep mode
when it is not scanning documents.
Wi-Fi connectivity (DR-C225W II only)
You can operate the scanner and load document from a PC or other
device with a wireless connection.
