Key takeaways:
The real world of scanning is not a perfect world. Mixed sizes, shapes, and weights—
along with attachments, staples, colors, folds and other common issues—occur daily.
To achieve true productivity, variables must be accounted for and handled with ease
to ensure robust performance. The

handled mixed document batches and avoided the types of productivity issues that
encumbered the
Canon
DR-X10C Scanner. The
Canon
Scanner arrives with a variety of
troublesome design elements that slash productivity, create headaches and hassles, and
negatively impact image quality.
Divergent document batches befuddle the
Canon
DR-X10C Scanner. Envelopes,
checks and varied sizes throttle the scanner’s throughput, unless the “misfeed
retry” feature is turned o. Batches with a wide range of document types and
sizes send the
Canon
Scanner into misfeed detect/rapid recovery mode, which
reduced productivity in side-by-side testing.

Canon claims exclusive paper-feeding technology that easily handles
documents of the widest range of sizes, weights and types to deliver high
productivity. However, when testing the
Canon
DR-X10C Scanner side-by-side
with the
Kodak
i780 Scanner, the
Canon
Scanner’s retry feeding mechanism
slows down overall throughput as it detects false double feeds when common
document types are fed. Kodak’s CCD sensors track every page, check for
overlaps and misfeeds, and help deliver outstanding image quality at full rated
speed. The
Kodak
i780 Scanner is not fooled by adhesive labels or varying paper
thicknesses, and requires no operator calibration to optimally handle the widest
variety of document types and thicknesses as defined in its specifications.
Dust can be a significant problem (for cleaning and image quality) with the
Canon
Scanner, as a questionable design for detecting and clearing dust may
allow it to negatively impact image quality while setting false expectations for
dust-free imaging with customers. Kodak’s exceptional sensor and transport
technologies and design eectively minimize quality issues due to dust.
Competitive BenChmarking
Count on Kodak for consistent and true performance.
Count out Canon.
