Canon DR-2050C

 

The DR-2050C's strong image quality is offset by its slow performance and premium price.

Impressive image quality, Sturdy construction

Speeds are slower than average, Basic OCR software

Canon DR-2050C

 

The Canon DR-2050C is the fastest scanner in its price class for scanning, recognizing text, and saving files in a searchable PDF format.

Extraordinary speed in its price class for scanning and recognizing text. Driver supports both ISIS and Twain to work with virtually any scan software.

No document-management program or indexing program included. Unclear installation instructions.

CANON DR-2050C CLR DUPLEX 20PPM 600DPI USB LGL 50PG ADF TWAIN

 

Buy it. PDF''s are the new rage in my business world, so this was a must buy for our office. It handled our requirements quickly, we got great doents that looked professional. My boss asked, after hearing my mutters of joy, after hooking it up and...

Very small, easy to setup, easy to configure, easy to use! Does about 10 s a minute, seems faster, and does a fantastic job of giving you a fast, quality capture, without skew or blur issues

Manual switching between single and multi-feed doent handling

Great Idea, Average Execution

 

While the feed scanner functionality is great in theory, this Canon advertises itself as small and convenient. I don't want "small and convenient." I manage a medical office, and I have a lot of paper that I want scanned NOW without my attention, even...

This is miracle of modern technology for light-to-medium office paper scanning tasks. You will never go back to an flat-bed for paper document scanning

No outgoing tray! This is my biggest complaint. Paper collects in a scrunched heap at the bottom of the scanner. A simple pull-out tray on the bottom would only have been some extra plastic molding, but how many scan jobs have been interrupted because...

Canon DR-2050C 0433B002 24 bit CMOS 600 x 600 dpi Duplex Scanner

 

If you need a small TWAIN compliant scanner for small batch jobs this is the ticket, otherwise look elsewhere.

Small, quiet. TWAIN and ISIS compliant drivers. Works fine in Vista 32 and 64. Good included software

This one is slooooow compared to more expensive Fujitsu models. Works fine for my little batch jobs but the rest of the office is using Fujitsus and more expensive Canons for a reason

Good scanner no 11x17

 

Good fast solid scanner with duplexing

Does not do 11x17 scanning ; folio mode means you fold paper in half and it scans both sides

CANON DR-2050C CLR DUPLEX 20PPM 600DPI USB LGL 50PG ADF TWAIN

 

It suits my current scanning need.

compact space saving stylish

multiple s may be scanned, but not in order: colating important

Portable, Feature Packed, Great OCR... But a little Skewy

 

I used this scanner extensively for an archive project so was able to thoroughly test the various quirks.

The Canon name, the included software (Adobe Acrobat 7 especially) and the light, portable design are all great features of this little scanner. The OCR is also especially clued up with this scanner, and beat a couple of existing scanners I had been...

This scanner had real problems with skewing. This issue plagued me when scanning various different media. It seems that the single roller (located in the center of the scanner), just doesn't "cut the mustard
