The Canon DR-4010C fulfills a wide variety of functionality requirements and meets market expectations as a high performance and cost-effective, ‘Departmental’ document scanner. While inheriting the latest features and proven reliability of Canon’s popular DR-series scanners, the
DR-4010C incorporates numerous new capabilities and advanced features, such as Automatic
Color Detection, the ability to scan color and B/W documents in the same batch, a wider scanning sensor and a new user friendly ISIS/TWAIN interface. And new image enhancement features include Advanced Text Enhancement Mode II, Improved Moiré Reduction for smoother images, and Bleed Through Prevention and Background Removal have been added.
The bundled program, ‘CapturePerfect,’ offers a variety of innovative, yet easy-to-use software functions. The latest release of the CapturePerfect application also has been significantly enhanced compared to previous versions of the software. As an added value, Adobe® Acrobat®
8.0
Standard has also been included. The world renowned imaging application from Adobe
Systems, Inc. would eliminate the additional cost burden of the otherwise expensive software product.
The DR-4010C brings low-volume production scanner features to the departmental scanner group. It is designed for busy departmental offices in need of high speed and high image quality reproductions, with advanced image processing functions and the ability to send images to files and emails.
DR-4010C Release Letter 6 Version 1.1 July 2007
DR-4010C New Features
Auto Color Detection (ISIS/TWAIN Driver)
NEW!
Auto Color Detection function detects the color element of scanned documents and generates black & white or color images accordingly. It is no longer required to separate black & white and color documents prior to scanning. This function can reduce the total size of mixed documents by optimizing the image compression according to the color of documents. In addition, users can adjust the sensitivity of color detection in 3 levels to obtain the appropriate results. Furthermore, black & white scanning, users can predefine scan modes from a choice of Black & White, Error
Diffusion, Advanced Text Enhancement, or Advanced Text Enhancement II.
Auto Color Detection Feature
*Please note that depending on the application software, that this function may not be available.
Shading Mechanism (Hardware)
NEW!
The shading mechanism has been redesigned to help ensure consistent scanning quality. With the DR-4010C, white material has been directly coated to the surface of the scanning glass to avoid any dust from coming in between the sensor and shading material. This means that the scanning sensor moves to the shading position instead of the shading plate moving. Image quality is greatly improved since the calibration of the scanner sensor no longer is affected by dust, which also eliminates the necessity of periodic cleaning of the shading plate.

High Speed & High Quality
The DR-4010C employs an advanced 3-Line CMOS CIS sensor to achieve ultra-fast color scanning at the same rapid rate as black-and-white. The light source from a conventional single line sensor system alternately lights up for each color (Red, Green and Blue), one color at a time, which would take comparably longer to scan in color mode than in black and white. The 3-Line
Sensor of the DR-4010C reads each of the RGB color elements at the same time, resulting in virtually 3X faster color scanning speeds. Additionally, the 3-Line Sensor system can also minimize tinted color stains as color distortion on output images. By equally sampling the RGB colors, the edges of a colored line object will average grayish and become less distinct on the scanned output. The below images illustrate the differences between Single-Line and 3-Line
Color Sensor scan mechanisms and compare them with simulated resulting output images scanned in color.
Single Line Sensor vs. 3-Line Sensor
With an output resolution up to 600dpi, the DR-4010C offers superb, clear scanning in black-andwhite (binary), 256-level grayscale, or 24-bit color.
The DR-4010C offers productive operation in every mode. With its 3-Line CMOS sensor, the system can maintain its full operating speed of up to 42 pages per minute in all 3 modes at
200dpi. The below table breaks out scanning speed for all resolutions in each mode, as well as simplex and duplex speed:

3-Dimensional Color Correction
The DR-4010C scanners’ new 3-Dimensional Color Correction function is able to achieve unprecedented color accuracy, which is true to the original, thanks to the incorporated color conversion chip.
Dimensional Color Correction Feature
Flexible Document Handling
To meet the needs of today’s diverse business requirements, the DR-4010C offers card scanning capability and allows for greater flexibility in a variety of business applications. In addition to Uturn Path feeding, the DR-4010C provides a Straight Path feeding mechanism for scanning documents of unusual size and weight, including plastic ID cards, driver’s licenses, insurance
cards, and other thick document types up to 0.02” in thickness.
Document Eject Tray 1 U-Turn Path
Hard to handle documents are simply loaded into the ADF with the document eject tray opened from the backside of Straight Path the main body. Documents are scanned and automatically ejected through a straight path to the back of the scanner and stacked in reverse order.
Note: Embossed cards, e.g. bank credit cards, cannot be scanned with the DR-
4010C, as they can potentially damage the sensor glass unit.
Document Eject Tray 2
Improved Paper Ejection Mechanism
The DR-4010C employs an exclusive motor that controls ejecting speed and ensures scanned papers are neatly ejected onto the Document Eject Tray, even in high-speed, high-volume scanning.
When documents are ejected through the U-turn paper path, a newly adopted ejection sensor and controller motor unit adjust the paper ejection speed to keep it constant and steady, regardless of scanner settings or different qualities and characteristics of the papers often mixed in a batch. This new mechanism removes the burden of attaching or removing the guide depending on the type of scanned documents to help improve scanning job efficiency.
DR-4010C Release Letter 12 Version 1.1 July 2007
Double-Feed Detection
The versatile Ultrasonic Multifeed Detector, Canon’s most sensitive detection system ever, employs a patented multiple-sensing technique to more accurately monitor documents for double feeds. Upon detection of a potential overlap or double-feed, scanning is suspended while an Error
Alert is sent to the operator for immediate correction. Detection by Length mode is also available and may be used alone or in conjunction with ultrasonic detection.
When a double feed occurs, the ultrasonic signal, which is sent by the emitter continuously, is reduced dramatically by the gap or layer of air between the documents. The scanner recognizes this change as a double feed and displays an error code. The detection system works when a document overlaps by more than 2”.
Key Capabilities: Driver Enabled
Rapid Recovery System
For improved scanning efficiency, the DR-4010C features a Rapid Recovery System. With this feature enabled, only completely processed image data is sent to the application software. In the event document feeding is interrupted, from paper jams or other unexpected feeding failures, the scanning operation is paused, yielding the “No Paper” message. Once the user treats the error, the scan job continues seamlessly from where it left off. Because incomplete image data is not transferred to the application software, there is no need to delete partial data or rescan an entire batch of documents.
Custom Color Dropout and Enhancement
Color Dropout and Color Enhancement functions allow users to drop unwanted colors, typically red, green and blue colors, or enhance the visibility of those colors from the original documents onto the scanned images. Demand for this type of functionality is increasing, particularly for OCR reading and forms processing applications.
DR-4010C Release Letter 13 Version 1.1 July 2007
The DR-4010C offers a custom color palette, as displayed, from which users can select any desired matching color closest to the original, or a range of color hues to be dropped or enhanced.

DR-4010C Release Letter
This operation will launch the image application on the host PC. If these are multiple imaging applications, the user can select which application they wish to use for the scan job.
14 Version 1.1 July 2007
Patch Code Detection for Batch Separation
Patch code sheets are sheets of paper, or preprinted forms on which a special pattern is printed so that files can be separated without interrupting the scanning operation. The scanner recognizes the pattern on these sheets, which allows files to be separated.
A common application for patch codes are insurance claim forms, where each claim is a new batch and all the following supporting documents are part of that batch until the next claim form is detected.
Patch code sheets are provided in PDF format upon installation of the drivers in four types,
[PATCH II (A4)], [PATCH II (LTR)], [PATCH T (A4)], and [PATCH T(LTR)].
