(6.77")(D) x 178 mm (7.01")(H) when the document feed is closed.
● Fast Document Feeding
Documents can be scanned at a speed of up to 60 pages per
minute (when scanning one-sided or two-sided documents of A4
size at 200 dpi).
● Auto Resolution Detection
When enabled in the CaptureOnTouch or scanner driver settings,
this function detects the content of documents and determines the
scanning resolution automatically.
● Folio Scan
You can scan folded documents. The scanner will scan both sides
and combine the scanned images into a single image.
● Deskew
The scanner straightens scanned images when it detects that the
document was placed askew.
● High Image Quality
The 600 dpi optical resolution sensor incorporated in the scanner
enables documents to be scanned with high image quality.
● USB 2.0 Interface
The scanner supports Hi-Speed USB 2.0.
● Color/Grayscale Support
● Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection
Ultrasonic waves are used to detect pages that are fed at the same
time as well as the space between pages. Scanning stops if a
double feed is detected.
● Double Feed Detection Ignore
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 or double-sided scanning (with Skip Blank Page
function)
When a double feed is detected, the DFR button on the operation
panel is lit. You can continue scanning by pressing the DFR button.
● Double Feed Retry
When a double feed has occurred, this function returns the
document to the document feeder and re-feeds the pages.
● Text Enhancement Modes
• Continuous or single sheet feed
● Card Scan
You can scan business or ID cards.
● 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.
The scanner is equipped with an Advanced Text Enhancement
Mode to enhance the text of documents with dark or uneven
backgrounds, and an Advanced Text Enhancement II mode to
enhance the text when both the text and background are light.
These modes may not work, depending on the type of document.
● Color Drop-out
The scanner is equipped with a Color Drop-out function that
enables you to specify a color for the scanner to omit from the
scanned image during black and white or grayscale scanning.
● Skip Blank Page Function
The scanner is equipped with a Skip Blank Page function that
enables you to scan a document without storing images of blank
pages, regardless of whether each page of the document is two-
sided or one-sided. Both sides are scanned, but saving the image
is skipped for scan images judged to be from a blank page.
● Auto Color Detection
The scanner detects whether the scanned document is in color,
grayscale, or black and white, and saves the image accordingly.
● Full Auto Mode
A Full Auto Mode is provided in CaptureOnTouch to allow scanning
under automatically determined conditions. Scanning conditions
such as the color mode and page size are set automatically based
on the document being scanned.

● Prescan Function
The scanner is equipped with a Prescan function that allows you to
adjust the contrast and brightness of a prescanned image and then
send the adjusted image to the application software, without
needing to scan the document again.
● Start Scanning from the Operating Panel
You can start scanning by launching CaptureOnTouch with the
operating panel buttons. By default, Job No.1 is assigned to Scan
First, which allows you to easily scan a document by just following
the instructions on the screen.
● Auto Start
The scanner is equipped with an auto start function, which enables
scanning to be automatically started when a document placed in the
feeder is detected.
● Sleep Mode
The scanner is designed to save energy by automatically entering
the sleep mode if 10 minutes elapse without scanning or another
operation being performed.

scanning such 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. In
this case, adjust the scanning intensity in the application software
before scanning the document.
Make sure stacks do not exceed 10 mm in height (including
curls) for either of the above.
IMPORTANT
The documents to be scanned must satisfy certain criteria. Read the

How to Place Documents
When placing long documents, pull out the document eject
extension support to match the length of those documents. Also,
stand the eject stopper at the end of the eject support if necessary.
Scanning multiple documents
Standard paper feeding should be used when scanning multiple
documents of a standard size at one time. Standard paper feeding
enables multiple documents to be fed while separating each page.

• Before you place a document, check to make sure it does not
contain paper clips, staples, or other small metal objects. These
items may cause a fire or electrical shock, 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, as this may result in personal injury.
Be extra careful of neckties and long hair. If anything gets caught in
the scanner, immediately turn OFF the power switch, and
disconnect the power cord from the power outlet to stop scanning.
• Always smooth out any folds or curls in your documents before
placing them into the feeder. If the leading edge of a document is
curled, it may cause a paper jam.
• If feeding stops due to a system error or paper jam while the
scanner is scanning, resolve the problem, make sure that the
scanned image of the last page that was successfully fed has been
stored, and then resume scanning the remaining document pages.
• After you finish scanning, close the document eject tray to prevent
damage to the scanner while it is not being used.

(118.1") long by setting the scanner to the Long Document mode.
IMPORTANT
By selecting the Long Document mode and setting the [Paper Size]
on the scanner driver settings screen to Auto-detection, documents
of up to 3,000 mm (118.1") in length can be scanned. Note the
following when using the Long Document mode:
• When scanning in the Long Document mode, if the document is
placed on the scanner in a skewed position, it may hit the edges of
the feeding area and be damaged. Be careful to place the
document so that it is not skewed.
• When scanning with the Long Document mode, paper jam
detection may react slowly, resulting in damage to the document.
Be careful to avoid paper jams.
• When scanning long documents, make sure to set the scanner to
Bypass mode, and scan the documents one at a time.
• When scanning large-sized documents with the Long Document
mode, scanning may be slower. Errors also occur due to memory
shortage, and scanning may be disabled.

Troubleshooting
Common Problems and Solutions
This section provides recommended solutions to common problems.
If you have a problem that is not solved by the following, contact your
local authorized Canon dealer.
Problem 3
Documents feed askew (scanned images are
slanted).
Solutions
(1) Align the document guides to fit the documents as
closely as possible, and load the documents so that
they feed straightly.
(2) Open the document feed extension support and
place the document.
(3) Enable [Automatically straightens skewed image]
(or [Deskew]) in the scanner driver settings.
(4) If many pages have been scanned since roller
cleaning, clean the rollers. If documents still feed
askew, roller replacement or other maintenance
may be needed. See Chapter 7 Maintenance for
roller replacement procedures.
Problem 1
The scanner will not turn on.
Solutions
Confirm that the AC adapter is plugged firmly into a
power outlet.
Problem 2
The scanner is not recognized.
Solutions
(1) Confirm that the scanner is properly connected to
the computer with a USB cable.
(2) Confirm that the scanner is turned on. See the
previous problem (1) if the scanner does not turn
on.
(3) The computer’s USB interface may not support the
scanner. The scanner cannot be guaranteed to
work with all USB interfaces.
Problem 4
Both sides are not scanned even when the Duplex
scanner driver setting is enabled.
(4) Confirm that the supplied USB cable is used to
connect the scanner to the computer. The scanner
cannot be guaranteed to work with all available
USB cables.
(5) If the scanner is connected to the computer via a
USB hub, try removing the hub and connecting
directly to the computer.
Solutions
In CaptureOnTouch and CapturePerfect, executing a
job for which single-sided (simplex) scanning is
registered will always result in simplex scanning,
regardless of scanner driver settings.
To perform duplex scanning, either change the job
setting or create another job for duplex scanning.
Problem 5
If white lines or streaks appear in scanned images.
Solutions
Clean both sides of the scanner glass, and the rollers.
If a sticky substance such as glue or correction fluid is
found, carefully wipe with just enough pressure to clean
the area where the lines appear. If the problem cannot
be solved by cleaning, the internal glass may be
scratched. Contact your local authorized Canon dealer.

When the scanner driver’s [Scanning Side] setting is
[Skip Blank Page], documents with very little black may
be unintentionally skipped. Click the [Setting] button
and decrease the [Set the likelihood of skipping blank
page] value, or select another scan mode setting such
as [Simplex] or [Duplex]. If pages are skipped due to
the document double feeding, see “Problem 7
Documents jam (or double-feed)”.
Solutions
• With CaptureOnTouch, you can scan multiple pages
into one image file when TIFF or PDF file format is
selected. To do this, select [File type], click the
button, and select [Save all pages as one file] in the
displayed dialog box.
• When you select [Scan Batch to File] from the [Scan]
menu in CapturePerfect, a dialog box appears with a
[Multi Page Settings] pull-down that allows you to
select [Single Page]. If you select [Single Page] here,
each page of a multi-page document is saved as a
separate image file. To save multiple pages to a
single image file, select [Multi Page (All Pages)].
Problem 7
Documents jam (or double-feed).
Solutions
(1) If the roller has been installed correctly, clean it if
necessary.
(2) Proper scanning may not be possible when
document pages stick together due to static
electricity. Fan the documents before you load
them.
Problem 10 All of the placed documents have been scanned,
but the scanned image does not appear on the
application.
(3) Set the scanner to Bypass mode, and manually
feed the scanner one page at a time.
Solutions
When [Panel-Feeding] or [Automatic Feeding] is
selected as the feeding method on the scanner driver's
setting screen, a scanning operation will not continue
after all of the documents are fed, as the scanner
awaits additional documents to be fed. You can finish
the operation and send the scanned images to the
application by pressing the Stop button on the
operating panel.
Problem 8
Scanned images are saved in TIFF instead of JPEG
format.
Solutions
When documents are scanned with CapturePerfect
while [Color Mode] is set to [Detect automatically] in the
scanner driver, documents detected as black and white
are automatically saved in TIFF format, even if the file
type is specified as JPEG format. This occurs because
JPEG format does not support black and white binary
format images. If you want to save all images in JPEG
format, change the scanning [Color Mode] to either [24-
bit Color] or [256-level Gray].
Problem 11 Scanned images of multiple pages cannot be saved
in a single JPEG or BMP (PICT) file.
Solutions
Multiple scanned images cannot be saved in a single
JPEG or BMP (PICT) file. Save the images in either
multi-page TIFF or PDF format.

Problem 12 Memory becomes insufficient and scanning stops.
Solutions
If you configure scanning conditions that use a large
amount of the computer's memory, scanning may stop
because of insufficient memory. Although this depends
on the computer's memory size, the possibility of
insufficient memory increases if any of the following
scanning conditions overlap.
• [Color Mode] is set to [24-bit Color]
• A large page size (e.g. Legal) is specified as the
[Page Size]. Alternatively, the page size is set to
[Scanner's Maximum].
• A high resolution (600dpi etc.) is specified for [Dots
per inch].
If an error message appears due to insufficient memory
while scanning is in progress, exit the application,
change the scanning conditions (e.g. reduce the
resolution or page size) and then try scanning again. In
addition, the amount of memory used can be contained
by turning off [Moire Reduction] and [Please change
prevent bleed through and remove] if they are set to on.

Software Troubleshooting
This section describes troubleshooting problems and solutions for
operating the supplied software (CaptureOnTouch and
CapturePerfect).
If scanning is too slow
(1) Close other running programs, if any.
(2) Scanning can be slowed down by memory shortage caused by
memory-resident applications such as anti-virus programs. Close
such memory-resident programs if necessary to free up memory
space.
(3) When insufficient hard disk space is available, the scanner may
be unable to create the necessary temporary files for scanned
data. Delete unneeded data on the hard disk to free up more
space.
(4) Scanning is slow if the computer's USB port is not Hi-Speed USB
2.0 compliant.
(5) If using a common USB cable that is not Hi-Speed USB 2.0
compliant, replace the cable with the supplied compliant cable.
(6) When the scanner is connected to the computer via a USB hub
that is not Hi-Speed USB 2.0 compliant, remove the hub and
connect the scanner directly to the computer.
If scanned image files cannot be opened in an application
(1) Scanned images saved as multi-page TIFF files can be opened
only by programs that support this file format.
(2) Images saved as compressed TIFF files (single- as well as multi-
page) can only be opened by programs that support the
compressed format. This can occur with programs that are not
compatible with CaptureOnTouch or CapturePerfect. In this case,
select “None” as the image file compression format before
scanning.
