1-2 Features of the DR-4010C Document
Scanner
The main features of the DR-4010C document scanner are described below.
• Fast Document Feeding
The scanner can scan a maximum of 42 documents per minute in a range of sizes from business
cards to LTR/A4 size. (Scanning conditions: Black and white, LTR/A4 size portrait, 200 dpi.)
Scanning speed is the same for both color and grayscale scanning.
• USB/SCSI Interface Supported
The USB interface that was provided as standard on your computer and SCSI extension cards
are supported. (See “2-2 Installation Requirements,” on p. 2-2.)
• Color/Grayscale Support
Documents can be scanned in 24-bit color or 256-level grayscale.
• Supports a Variety of Scanning Modes
The scanner supports the following scanning modes, depending on the document type:
- Single-sided/double-sided mode
- Single sheet/dual feeding path
• U-Turn Path
Documents are fed and ejected from the front of the scanner. (See “3-2 Document Feed and
Eject Tray,” on p. 3-3.)
• Straight Path
Documents are ejected to the back of the scanner. Note that the ejected documents are stacked
in the reverse order from which they were fed. (See “3-2 Document Feed and Eject Tray,” on p. 3-
3.)
• Paper Size Detection
The scanner automatically detects the size of a scanned document and eliminates any
unnecessary space around the edges of the image when storing the image, even when storing a
document of irregular size.
• Double Feed Detection
The scanner stops feeding documents after detecting more than one document being fed at the
same time. (See “Double Feed Detection Function,” on p. 3-30.)
• Deskew
The scanner straightens images after detecting that a document was placed askew.
• Card Scan
You can scan business or ID cards. Note that embossed credit cards or similar items cannot be
scanned. (See “3-1 Documents,” on p. 3-1.)
• Auto Color Detection
The scanner detects whether the scanned document is in color or black-and-white, and saves the
image accordingly.
• Text Orientation Recognition
This mode identifies the orientation of characters in a document, and rotates the image so the
orientation of the scanned characters is straight.
