Canon DR2510C

Given the small size and an easy to use interface, this scanner is best

suited for office usage. With the new improved CMOS contact image sensor, the

Canon scanner can scan colour document very quickly. The speed is almost equal

to the speed of scanning greyscale images. It can scan wide variety of documents

ranging from thick documents to driving licenses. Apart from the good

performance, it also has good features including automatic page size detection,

skipping of blank page, text orientation detection and more. Among others

include scan-to-job with the help of which one can send email directly from this

device. Also, it is bundled with latest document imaging software pack including

capture perfect 3.0, a software, which includes both scanning and OCR

functionality, scansoft papersoft SE, Omnipage 4SE, etc.

We tested this scanner in our labs with a decent office desktop. We connected

the scanner over its USB interface to the test machine. First we scanned a

greyscale image; it took only 5 second to scan a full A4 size document with 600

DPI. Next, we scanned the same document in color mode. Surprisingly, it took

exactly the same time as that of greyscale image.

Bottomline:







With this performance, the scanner becomes one of the best in

the class.
