Canon DR2080C

Pros: Duplex, auto-page-size, ability to remove background color

Cons: No auto page size when used from Acrobat, but scanner **does* work from Acrobat!

The Bottom Line: If you're short on desktop space but have serious scanning demands, this is an extraordinary (yet unimposing) piece of office hardware!

Review: I just purchased my DR 2080C this week after having read reviews on this site, which were very helpful. The more recent reviews here pointed out that the scanner has been updated to allow the choice of either SCSI or USB 2.0. One complaint that did not ...

Pros: Small, Fast, Easy to Use, Excellent Document Feeder

Cons: No USB/1394 - Only SCSI (Although it comes with an Interface Card)

The Bottom Line: The DR-2080C is an exceptional document scanner that can reliabily scan your wide variety of pages (front and back at the same time).

Review: I bought this scanner because I wanted a good, on the desktop scanner for my paperwork that I get at home. My goal is to eliminate 95% of my files, keeping only the hardcopies for items that are absolutely necessary (like my car's Pink Slip).
...

Pros: small footprint, easy install, only problem free personal scanner

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: Our voter registration database customers require personal imaging. We sold others but always had problems. We use DR-2080C exclusively in-house and require it for our customers.

Review: We have sold personal feed through scanners with our voter registration database software for three years. The Canon is the first and only trouble free personal feed through scanner we have found. Besides that the footprint is the smallest of the...

Pros: Easy installation, scans fast, various sized pages can be scanned at one time, small unit.

Cons: scanner must be on before computer, (SCSI.) paper sometimes fed two sheets, software needs more.

Review: I read some reviews on this site and found it to be the most popular/reviewed sheet-fed scanner. So I wanted to try it out and see how it performed. The installation was simple and the software was straight forward. Being that I'm an IT professional, I ...

Pros: Small size, carrying case, speed, quality, reliability, and features.

Cons: I have the older none USB SCSI version. The current model is USB.

Review: We use this thing daily to scan about 600 pages duplex. I bought it in 2002 amd it has only had the feed roller replaced and that is it. I have two larger Fujitsu Scanpartner 15C's and both of them have had to have major repairs. The Cannon is the ...

Pros: Fast, good resolution, duplex, scan to PDF, extremely compact

Cons: not good for photos, need a separate scanner for odd-shaped pieces of paper

The Bottom Line: I heartily recommend this scanner to anyone looking to scan large volumes of personal paperwork with minimum fuss.

Review: I like to scan important documents like pay slips, invoices (for warranty, insurance and customs purposes), tax returns and the like. I keep a backup of them at my office in case of a fire at home, and some on a keychain USB flash drive. I bought a HP...

Pros: Simple to use and very fast USB 2.0 device

Cons: Confusing handling of scanning options

The Bottom Line: If you want to scan small documents frequently, buy this scanner.

Review: The DR-2080C scanner I bought has a USB 2.0 interface in addition to the SCSI interface. It is fast, scanning several pages a minute, even in duplex mode. The scans are good, completely usable as electronic copies of paper documents.

The unit...

Pros: Small Print, easy to configure, good quality for B&W documents, portability

Cons: Power supply Color scanning Consumable Parts

The Bottom Line: If you are limited by the amount space and budget and perform less that 1000 B&W pages per week, this may be your scanner.

Review: Highly suggested for an user interested for a small business scanner and low to medium volume of use ...

Pros: Good compatibility with software. Nice to have high capacity

Cons: Doesn't scan photos or bound paper (like books).

Review: This scanner works great if you're trying to create a paperless office. The high volume is useful for scanning several documents at a time and it is fully compatible with FileCenter and other paperless office ...

Pros: Very well built. Produces nice scans, and is relatively fast.

Cons: It's almost unbelievable that this product cannot scan from within Adobe Acrobat 6.0.

Review: Great little scanner but BUYER BEWARE! This scanner is incompatible with Adobe Acrobat 6.0! You WILL NOT be able to scan documents directly from Adobe Acrobat 6.0 like you could in Acrobat 5.05. This has been a known issue discussed on Adobe's website ...
