“The Canon imageFORMULA DR-X10C is the result of a culmination of years in in-depth research and cutting edge technology.” says Hideki Yamamoto, Assistant Director of Business Imaging Solutions Division, South & Southeast Asia. “As Canon’s flagship model, this powerful scanner is a high-end solution for quality production-level scanning. It is equipped to provide high speed scanning and durability to process large volume of documents.”

Superb Canon image quality and speed

With the latest advanced image processing capabilities such as Advanced Text Enhancement, Auto Color Detection, Auto Size Detection, Moiré Reduction, and other imaging technology, the Canon DR-X10C ensures only the best quality images.

The scanner is also equipped with Canon's first dust-free scanning system that helps to minimize dust and protect the scanning sensors to achieve high image quality. It also has a dedicated sensor for accurate page size detection and skew correction.

DR-X10C has a remarkable scanning speed at 100ppm* (200ipm) in black and white, color, grayscale, along with an impressive daily duty cycle of 60,000 scans. Images can be continuously captured at a rate of 100 ppm of 200 ppm in color, grayscale, or black-and-white (A4/LTR, 200 dpi, portrait). Onboard JPEG compression is also available for large files to reduce transfer time to PC.

Superior paper handling and reliability

Full of high performance features, the Canon DR-X10C is well suited for scanning high volumes of documents for important or business-critical applications – such as document archiving, enterprise content management or integration into business processes, such as forms processing and records management.

Smooth feeding and jam-free feeding are also ensured with Active Torque Control, allowing users to adjust the roller torque to accommodate to paper types.

A Rapid Recovery System is also embedded in the scanner. During a misfeed interruption, users can be assured that only completed image data is transferred to the application software, allowing users to continue scanning seamlessly. In addition, while conventional scanners rely on their image sensor to detect document’s size and angle, the DR-X10C scanner has a dedicated sensor that provides exceptional Page Size Detection and Deskew accuracy and processing speed.

Use of the Canon DR-X10C will help companies realize many benefits, including large scale business process improvements - such as lowering operating costs and improved operational efficiency; legal and regulatory compliance, improved document management and control.
