1. Important Safety Instructions

To ensure the safe operation of this scanner, be sure to read the safety warnings and precautions described below.

Installation Location

The performance of this scanner is affected by the environment in which it is installed. Make sure that the location where the scanner is installed meets the following environmental requirements.

• Provide adequate space around the scanner for operation, maintenance, and ventilation.

• Avoid installing the machine in direct sunlight. If this is unavoidable, use curtains to shade the scanner.

• Avoid locations where a considerable amount of dust accumulates.

• Avoid warm or humid locations, such as in the vicinity of a water faucet, water heater, or humidifier, and avoid locations where the fumes from ammonia, paint thinner, or other volatile chemicals may be present.

• Avoid locations where ammonia gas is emitted.

• Avoid locations near volatile or flammable materials, such as alcohol or paint thinner.

• Avoid locations that are subject to vibration.

• Avoid exposing the scanner to rapid changes in temperature. If the room in which the scanner is installed is cold but rapidly heated, water droplets

(condensation) may form inside the scanner. This may result in a noticeable degradation in scanning quality.

The following conditions are recommended for optimal scanning quality:

Room temperature: 10 °C to 32.5 °C (50 °F to 90.5 °F)

Humidity: 20% to 80% RH

• Avoid installing the scanner near equipment that generates a magnetic field

(e.g. speakers, televisions, or radios).

Power

• Connect only to a power outlet of the rated voltage and power supply frequency. (120 V, 60 Hz or 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz depending on your region)

• Do not connect other electrical equipment to the same power outlet to which the scanner is connected. Also, when using an extension cord, make sure that the extension cord is rated for the current requirements of the scanner.

• Never try to disassemble the AC adapter or modify it in any way, as this is extremely dangerous.

• The power cord and AC adapter may become damaged if they are often stepped on or if heavy objects are placed on them. Continued use of a

• Clean the scanner using a slightly dampened cloth which has been well wrung out. Never use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or any other flammable substances.

• If the scanner makes strange noises, or gives off, smoke, heat, or strange odors, or the scanner does not function or other abnormalities occur when you use the machine, immediately turn the power switch OFF, and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet. Then, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or the service representative for further information.

• Do not drop the scanner, or subject it to impact or strong shock.

Should the scanner ever become damaged, immediately turn the power switch OFF, and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet. Then, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or service representative to have the unit serviced.

• Before moving the scanner, be sure to turn the power switch

OFF, and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet.

CAUTION

• Do not install the scanner on a surface that is unstable or tilted, or in an area subject to excessive vibrations, as this may cause the scanner to fall, resulting in personal injury or damage to the scanner.

• Never place small metal objects such as staples, paper clips, or jewelry on the scanner. These items may fall into the scanner, and cause a fire or electric shock. Should such objects ever fall inside the scanner, immediately turn the power switch OFF, and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet. Then, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or service representative to have the unit serviced.



• Do not locate the scanner in a humid or dusty location. Doing so might cause fire or electric shock.

• Do not place objects on top of the scanner. Such objects may tip or fall over, resulting in personal injury.

• To prevent any risk of fire or electric shock, make sure that the power source meets the power requirements of the unit.

• When unplugging the power cord, grasp it firmly by its plug. Do not pull directly on the power cord, as this may damage or expose the cord’s internal wiring, resulting in a fire or electric shock.

• Leave sufficient space around the power plug so that it can be unplugged easily. If objects are placed around the power plug, you will be unable to unplug it in an emergency.

• Do not allow water or flammable substances (alcohol, paint thinner, benzene, etc.) to spill into the scanner, as this may result in a fire or electric shock.

• Turn OFF the power switch for safety when not using the scanner for a long period of time, such as overnight. Also, turn

OFF the power switch, and disconnect the AC adapter from the scanner and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet for safety when the machine will not be used for an extended period of time, such as during consecutive holidays.

Feeder

Width:

Length:

Thickness:

Document Feed

Tray capacity:

5.8" to 8.5" (148 mm to 216 mm)

3.9" to 14.0" (100 mm to 356 mm)

Make sure to thoroughly read the following cautions for scanning documents using the feeder:

• When scanning a stack of documents using the feeder, make sure that the documents are of the same size, stock, and paper quality. Feeding documents of different sizes or types together may cause a paper jam.

• Always make sure that the ink on a document is dry before scanning it. Scanning documents with the ink still wet may soil the rollers or scanning glass, cause lines or smudges to appear on images, or dirty other documents.

• Always clean the rollers or scanning glass after scanning a document written in pencil. Scanning documents with pencil written on them may soil the rollers or scanning glass, cause stripes to appear in images, or dirty other documents.

• When scanning a two-sided document that is printed on thin paper, the image on the opposite side of each page may show through. Adjust the brightness in the scanning conditions before scanning the document.

• Scanning the following types of documents using the feeder may cause paper jams or malfunctions. Scan documents like these using the flatbed (platen glass).

Wrinkled or creased documents

Curled paper

Extremely thin, translucent paper

Carbon paper

Paper with square holes

Documents with paper clips or staples

Torn documents Coated paper

20 Using the Scanner


2. Placing Documents

This section describes the procedure for placing a document on the scanner.

Use the feeder when continuously scanning a stack of documents containing multiple sheets, and use the flatbed for scanning documents that cannot be placed on the feeder.

Placing a Document into the Feeder

IMPORTANT

• Before you place a document, check to make sure it does not contain paper clips, staples, or other small metal objects. These objects may damage the document, or cause a paper jam or scanner malfunction.

• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may get caught in the scanner while you are using it. This may result in personal injury. Be extra careful of neckties and long hair. If anything becomes caught in the scanner, immediately disconnect the power cord to stop scanning.

• Always smooth out any folds or curls in your originals before placing them into the feeder. If the leading edge of a document is curled, it may cause a paper jam.

1.

Open the document feed tray.

2.

Fan the stack of documents to be scanned.

Using the Scanner 21


CAUTION

When placing your document, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper.

3.

Place your document face up into the feeder. Make sure to place your document as far into the feeder as it will go.

Make sure to remove any previously scanned documents remaining in the document eject opening.

IMPORTANT

The feeder can hold a stack of up to 35 sheets of paper. The feeder capacity may vary depending on the type of document you are scanning. If your documents are not fed properly, divide your documents into smaller parts before scanning them.

4.

Adjust the document guide adapter so that it matches the width of the document.

Document Eject Stopper

Open to prevent documents from falling off the scanner.

IMPORTANT

Before scanning, make sure that the document is not curled or folded, and that it is placed correctly. Scanning an improperly placed, curled, or folded document may damage the document or cause a paper jam.



Placing a Document on the Flatbed (Platen Glass)

1.

Carefully open the feeder.

IMPORTANT

Never place any object other than documents to be scanned onto the platen glass. Doing so may result in damage to the scanner or an injury.

2.

Place the document face down and align the top edge of the document with the back edge of the platen glass (by the alignment mark in the top left corner).

Alignment mark

3.

Carefully close the feeder.



CAUTION

• Close the feeder gently to avoid catching your fingers, as this may result in personal injury.

• Do not use excessive force when closing the feeder, as this may damage or break the platen glass, and may result in personal injury.

• Do not press down hard on the feeder when using the platen glass to scan thick books. Doing so may damage the platen glass and result in personal injury.

68 Appendices


Saved Image Files Do Not Open

When image files saved by CapturePerfect 3.0 cannot be opened by other applications, the probable causes are as follows.

Symptoms A multi-page TIFF file saved in CapturePerfect 3.0 cannot be opened by other applications.

Problem The application you are using to open the TIFF file does not support multi-page TIFF files.

Solution Open the file with an application that supports multi-page TIFF files.

Symptoms A TIFF file saved in CapturePerfect 3.0 cannot be opened by other applications.

Problem If the TIFF file saved in CapturePerfect 3.0 has been compressed, the application you are using to open the TIFF file does not support the compression type that was used to save the file in CapturePerfect 3.0.

Solution Set the compression type for the image file to [None] and save the file again in CapturePerfect 3.0.

Scanning Results Are Not as Expected

If there is a problem with the scanning result (e.g., the scanned image is not clear, or the image is striped or dirty), the probable causes are incorrect ISIS/

TWAIN Driver settings or a problem with the scanning unit inside the scanner.

Scanning results can also become skewed if the ISIS/TWAIN Driver has not been installed correctly, or the application in use does not support ISIS/

TWAIN Driver functions.

Symptoms The scanned image is too dark (or faint).

Problem The [Brightness] setting is not set to an appropriate value.

Solution If the image is dark, set a higher [Brightness] setting, or if the

image is faint, set a lower [Brightness] setting. (See “Software

Settings,” on p. 49.)

Symptoms Text or images on the rear side of your document appear in the scanned image.

Problem The [Brightness] setting is too low, or the paper is too thin.

Solution Set a higher [Brightness] setting. If the paper is too thin, scan it on

the flatbed. (See “Software Settings,” on p. 49.)

Appendices 69


Symptoms A black margin appears around the edges of the scanned image.

Problem A document smaller than the preset paper size has been scanned, or the document placed on the scanner was placed crookedly.

Solution Set [Paper Size] to [Auto-detection], or set [Border Removal] to

on. (See “Software Settings,” on p. 49.)

Symptoms The scanned image is skewed.

Problem The document is being fed at an angle (skewed).

Solution

Set [Deskew] to on. (See “Software Settings,” on p. 49.)

Symptoms Lines, smudges, or dirt appear on the scanned image.

Problem The scanning glass or rollers inside the feeder are soiled.

Solution

Clean the scanning glass and rollers. (See “Regular

Maintenance,” on p. 58.)

Scratches on the scanning glass can also cause lines or smudges to appear on the scanned image. If this happens, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or service representative.

Symptoms The scanned image is abnormal for certain documents.

Problem Functions such as [Auto-detection], [Deskew], or [Border

Removal] were used when scanning documents containing text or photos up to their edges. (The scanner cannot accurately process the edges of documents.)

Solution Turn off functions such as [Auto-detection], [Deskew], or [Border

Removal] when scanning documents containing text or photos up

to their edges. (See “Software Settings,” on p. 49.)

Symptoms The scanned image is abnormal in some applications.

Problem A function not supported by the application was used.

Solution Some applications do not support functions such as auto-detection of the paper size. Scanning documents with an application such as this will result in an abnormal scanned image. Try scanning with auto-detection of the paper size set to “off.”

70 Appendices


[Warming up] Is Displayed When Scanning

Because the DR-1210C uses a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) as its light source, it is necessary to wait until the output from the lamp stabilizes before scanning. [Warming up] is displayed until the lamp turns on and its output is stabilized after the scanner’s power is turned on or when the scanner comes out of the power saving feature. The length of time that [Warming up] is displayed varies depending on the conditions of the lamp.

Setting the [CCFL Control]

The DR-1210C’s default settings are set to turn off the lamp when the scanner enters the Power Saving Feature after no operations have been done for 12 minutes. Because of this, if more than 12 minutes elapses between scanning jobs the lamp turns off and [Warming up] is displayed the next time scanning is done.

If the period between scanning jobs is longer than 12 minutes you can use the

[CCFL Control] to change the time before the scanner enters the Power Saving

Feature so that [Warming up] is not displayed when scanning is done.

Set the [CCFL Control] in [Scanners and Cameras Properties]. Follow the procedure below to change the settings.

Use the following procedure to open the [CCFL Control] settings dialog box.
