1

What software needs to be installed before connecting the DR-C125 scanner to my computer?

You must install the software before connecting the scanner to the computer. The Setup Disc includes CaptureOnTouch (the dedicated scanning utility) and the Scanner Driver required for using the scanner. Third-party software such as OmniPage SE 4, PaperPort, and eCopy PDF Pro Office (Windows only) are also available on the disc. (Page 5-7)

2

What are the minimum system requirements to use the Canon DR-C125 scanner?

The recommended system requires an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.66 GHz or faster CPU, 1 GB or more of memory, and 3 GB or more of available hard disk space for full software installation. A Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface, a monitor with 1024 x 768 resolution or better, and an optical drive capable of reading DVDs are also required. Supported operating systems include Windows XP SP3 or later and Mac OS X 10.5.8, 10.6.8, or 10.7. (Page 6)

3

What is the maximum document length the DR-C125 can scan, and how do I enable it?

The scanner can scan documents up to 3,000 mm (118.1") long when set to Long Document mode; the standard maximum length is 356 mm (14"). On Windows, enable this through the Canon imageFORMULA Utility by clicking Properties, then the Maintenance tab, and selecting either Long Document mode (1,000 mm) or Long Document mode (3,000 mm). When using Long Document mode, always set the feed selection lever to the non-separation position and scan documents one at a time. (Page 32-33)

4

How do I scan plastic ID cards or business cards with the DR-C125?

For plastic cards, set the feed selection lever to the non-separation position (upper) and the eject selection lever to the straight path position. Place the card horizontally with the top edge facing upward, and load only one card at a time. Note that ultrasonic double feed detection will not function properly when scanning cards, so you should clear the Detect by Ultrasonic check box in the Feeding tab. (Page 30-31)

5

What should I do if the CaptureOnTouch taskbar icon shows the scanner is not properly connected?

If the taskbar icon appears with an error indicator, the scanner is not properly connected to the computer. Check the status of the power switch and the USB cable connection to resolve the issue. Ensure the scanner is powered on (the power button lights blue when on) and that the USB cable is securely connected. (Page 14)

6

How do I scan a document larger than A4 or Letter size, such as an A3 document?

Use the Folio Scan function to scan documents larger than LTR/A4, up to a maximum size of 11" x 17"/A3. Fold the document in half lengthwise, crease it firmly, and place it in the feeder with the folded edge facing right under default settings. The scanner will scan both sides and combine them into a single image, though a small portion of the image at the fold line will be missing. (Page 31-32)

    20 Features of the Scanner The main features of the document scanner DR-C125 are described below. ●Compact Design The scanner has a compact size of 300 (W) x 336 (H) x 235 (D) (11.81" (W) x 13.2" (H) x 9.25" (D)) mm when the document feed is open. A newly designed feed mechanism saves space by eliminating the need for space to eject paper at the front of the scanner. ●Fast Document Feeding Documents can be scanned at a speed of up to 25 pages per minute (when scanning one-sided or two-sided documents of A4 size at 200 dpi). ●Two Eject Paths for Scanning a Variety of Documents Use the U-turn path to scan paper of standard thickness, or use the straight path to scan cards and other thick documents. ●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 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)
  • 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. ●Auto Color Detection The scanner detects whether the scanned document is in color, grayscale, or black and white (binary), and saves the image accordingly. ●Full Auto Mode A Full Auto Mode is provided in CaptureOnTouch and the scanner driver 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. ●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. ●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. ●Text Enhancement Modes The scanner is equipped with the Advanced Text Enhancement Mode (only for Windows), for enhancing the text of documents with dark or uneven backgrounds, and the Advanced Text Enhancement II mode, for enhancing 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.

    Page 21

    21 ●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. ●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. ●Character/Line Emphasis Function If characters and lines in scanned images are not clearly visible, you can use this function to adjust their thickness during scanning. ●Scan First Pressing Start Button starts CaptureOnTouch. You can then perform a scan simply by following the on-screen guidance. ●Select Scan Job You can register scanning conditions and methods for processing scanned images as jobs, and register up to 10 jobs in CaptureOnTouch. By simply selecting a registered job, you can perform scanning operations in a determined order. ●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 entering the sleep mode when it is not scanning documents.

Plain Paper Size Width: 50.8 mm to 216 mm (2" to 8.5") Length: 53.9 mm to 356 mm (2.12" to 14")* Paper thickness: When U-turn path: 52 to 128 g/m2 (14 to 34 lb bond) 0.06 to 0.15 mm (0.0024" to 0.0059") When straight path: 40 to 209 g/m2 (11 to 58 lb bond) 0.05 to 0.25 mm (0.002" to 0.0098")

  • Setting the scanner to Long Document mode enables documents
  • up to 3,000 mm (118.1") long to be scanned. For details on Long Document mode, refer to “Setting the Long Document Mode” on p. 32.

    Important

    The documents to be scanned must satisfy certain criteria. Read the following items carefully.
  • When scanning multiple documents of different sizes, place the
  • documents so that they cover the entire span of the feed rollers.
  • It is recommended that documents exceeding 356 mm (14") in size
  • are fed one sheet at a time.
  • Use the straight path when scanning documents that are 70 mm
  • (2.76") long or less.
  • Scanning documents before the ink is dry can cause problems with
  • the scanner. Always make sure that the ink on a document is dry before scanning it.
  • Scanning documents that are written in pencil or similar material
  • may make the rollers and scanning glass dirty, which can lead to smudges on the scanned image and transfer the dirt to subsequent documents. Always clean the internal parts of the scanner after 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.
  • It is recommended that thin documents are fed one sheet at a time.
  • Scanning the following types of documents can cause a paper jam
  • or malfunction. To scan such a document, make a photocopy of the document and then scan the photocopy. Business Card Size: 50 mm x 53.9 mm (1.97" x 2.12") or larger Paper weight: 300 g/m2 (80 lb bond) 0.35 mm (0.0138") or less Orientation: Vertical feeding only

    Important

    If a stack of business cards cannot be fed properly, reduce the number of cards in the stack. Feed rollers There are creases or fold lines. Carbon paper There are curls. The surface is coated. There are tears. Extremely thin document such as semi-transparent thin paper. There are clips or staples. Documents with excessive paper dust particles.

    26 How to Place Documents Switching the Feed and Eject Methods Use the two levers on the scanner to switch the feed and eject methods based on the type of document you are scanning. The feed and eject methods and lever positions for each document type are as follows. Placing Documents for Standard Feeding Ordinarily, standard feeding should be used when scanning multiple documents of a standard size at one time. Standard feeding enables the multiple documents to be fed while separating each page. 1 Open the document feed tray. 2 Pull out the feed support. Document type Feed method (lever position) Eject method (lever position) Standard paper and business cards Standard feeding (lower) U-turn path (upper) or straight path (lower) Plastic cards, thick paper, thin paper, and bound or fastened paper Non separation feeding (upper) Straight path (lower) Feed Selection Lever Standard Feeding Eject Selection Lever U-turn Path Straight Path Non Separation Feeding

    Page 27

    27 3 When scanning long documents, pull out the feed extension plates and eject support. 4 Set the feed selection lever and the eject selection lever. Set the feed selection lever to the standard feeding position (lower position). Set the eject selection lever to the U-turn path position ( ). When scanning documents that contain both standard paper and plastic cards, use the straight path. 5 Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the document to be scanned.

    Page 28

    28 6 Place the document. Insert the document in the feed tray so that the front is facing forward and the top is facing upward. After inserting the document in the document feeder, align the document guides with both edges of the document.

    Important

  • When placing documents into the feed tray, take care not to cut
  • your hands on the edges of the paper.
  • Make sure that the document does not exceed the loading limit
  • marks ( ) on the document guides. Up to 30 pages of ordinary plain paper (80 g/m2) can be loaded at the same time.
  • 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. 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 feed tray to prevent
  • damage to the scanner while it is not being used.
  • Although standard feeding can be used in combination with the
  • straight path when scanning, multi-page documents will be ejected in reverse order in such cases.
  • If you select the [Upside-down feeding] check box in the scanner
  • driver settings, you can insert documents into the scanner in the opposite orientation (see p. 53, p. 78).

    Page 29

    29 Placing Documents for Non Separation Feeding When scanning a thick document one page at a time or scanning a document that has multiple pages fastened together, set document feeding to non separation mode. This enables the placed document to be scanned without the pages being separated, regardless of the number of pages. 1 Set the feed selection lever and the eject selection lever. Set the feed selection lever to the non separation position (upper position). The feed selection indicator will light orange. Set the eject selection lever to the straight path position ( ). 2 Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the document. Default [Upside-down feeding] selected

    30 3 Place the document in the document feed tray.

    Important

  • With the straight path, documents are ejected at the front of the
  • scanner. Do not place anything that will block output near the document eject area. Also, install the scanner on a smooth surface to enable documents to be smoothly ejected.
  • When scanning multiple page documents that are fastened
  • together, such as invoices, place the documents so that the edge that is fastened together is facing down. Placing Cards 1 Set the feed selection lever and the eject selection lever. Set the feed selection lever to the non separation position (upper position). The feed selection indicator will light orange. Set the eject selection lever to the straight path position ( ). 2 Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the card to be scanned.

    Page 31

    31 3 Place the card horizontally with the top edge facing upward.

    Caution

  • Place the card one at a time.
  • If you place cards to be fed vertically, they may not be ejected
  • properly, and cards that get jammed may be damaged when you remove them. Take care of the orientation when placing cards.
  • Ultrasonic double feed detection will not function properly when
  • scanning cards. Clear the [Detect by Ultrasonic] check box in the [Feeding] tab.

    Important

    With the straight path, documents are ejected at the front of the scanner. Do not place anything that will block output near the document eject area. Also, install the scanner on a smooth surface to enable documents to be smoothly ejected. Placing Folded Documents Folio Scan enables you to scan documents that are larger than LTR/ A4 and therefore do not fit in the feeder. (The maximum size is 11" x 17"/A3.) To use the function, fold the document in half lengthwise and place it into the feeder. The DR-C125 will scan both sides and combine the scanned images into a single image. 1 Set the feed selection lever and the eject selection lever. Set the feed selection lever to the non separation position (upper position). The feed selection indicator will light orange. Set the eject selection lever to the straight path position ( ).

    Page 32

    32 2 Fold the document in half. Align the left and right sides of the document, and crease the document firmly. If the document is not folded properly, paper jams may occur or distortions may appear in the combined scanned image.

    Important

    A portion of the scanned image will be missing at the fold line. 3 Place the document in the document feed tray. Under default conditions, place the document with the folded edge facing right. If the [Upside-down feeding] check box is selected in the scanner driver settings, place the document with the folded edge facing left.

    Important

    Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the document. Otherwise, the image may scan as skewed or shifted. Hint
  • The side of the folded document that is facing forward will be the left
  • side of the combined image.
  • The maximum size for the combined image is A3.
  • Setting Scanning Conditions Configure scanning conditions as follows when scanning folded documents. Scanner driver (Windows) Configure the following settings in the [Basic] tab. (See p. 49)
  • Set [Page Size] to half the size of the document (set to [Match
  • original size] when scanning an atypical document size)
  • Set [Scanning Side] to [Folio].
  • Scanner driver (Mac OS X) Configure the following settings. (See p. 73)
  • Set [Page Size] to half the size of the document (set to [Detect
  • automatically] when scanning an atypical document size)
  • Set [Scanning Side] to [Folio].
  • Setting the Long Document Mode The length of documents that can be scanned with the scanner is normally 356 mm (14"), but you can scan documents up to 3,000 mm (118.1") long by setting the scanner to the Long Document mode.

    Important

    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 feed
  • selection lever to the non separation position, and scan the documents one at a time.
  • When scanning large-sized documents with the Long Document
  • mode, scanning may be slower. Errors may also occur due to memory shortage and scanning may be disabled.

    92 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 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. (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. 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) Enable [Automatically straightens skewed images] (or [Deskew]) in the scanner driver settings. (3) 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 Maintenance (p. 81) for roller replacement procedures. Problem 4 Documents are not scanned according to the settings configured in the scanner driver. Solutions When you scan using a job registered with CaptureOnTouch, the registered job settings have priority over the scanner driver settings. Edit existing job settings, or create a new job using the desired scanning conditions. 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. Problem 6 Pages are missing. Solutions Then the scanner driver’s [Scanning Side] setting is [Skip blank page], documents with very little black may be unintentionally skipped. Decrease the [Set the likelihood of skipping blank page] value (see p. 51, p. 74), 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)”. 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. (3) Set the feed selection lever to the non separation position, and manually feed the scanner one page at a time.

    Page 93

    93 Problem 8 Multiple pages of scanned images cannot be saved to a single file. Solutions Depending on the file format, multiple scanned image pages cannot be saved as a single file with CaptureOnTouch Lite and CaptureOnTouch. File type Processing for multiple pages BMP (Windows only), JPEG Scanned images are always saved one page per file. PPTX (Windows only) Multi-page images are always saved to a single file.

    Tiff, Pdf

    You can save multiple pages to a single file by clicking and selecting [Save all pages as one file] in the displayed dialog box. Problem 9 All of the placed documents have been scanned, but the scanned image does not appear on the application. 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 10 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. Problem 11 Scanned images are upside down. Solutions Confirm the scanner driver settings. In Windows, confirm that the [Upside-down feeding] check box in the [Feeding] tab is cleared. In Mac OS X, confirm that the [Upside-down feeding] check box in the [More] dialog box is cleared.

    Page 94

    94 Software Troubleshooting This section describes troubleshooting problems and solutions for operating the supplied software (CaptureOnTouch). 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. In this case, select “None” as the image file compression format before scanning.

    97 Clearing a Paper Jam When paper jams occur during scanning, use the following procedure to clear them.

    Warning

    Be careful when removing jammed paper. It is possible to cut your hand on the edge of a sheet of paper. 1 Remove any documents that have been left in the eject tray. 2 When the jammed document is on the document ejecting side, open the document eject tray. 3 Remove the jammed document.

    Page 98

    98 4 Return the document eject tray to its original position. Make sure that it is completely closed by pushing until you hear a click. 5 Press the OPEN button and pull open the front unit toward you. 6 Remove the jammed document.

    Important

    Make sure to pull the document out carefully, without applying too much force. If the jammed paper tears while you are pulling it out, make sure to remove any remaining pieces from inside the scanner.

    Page 99

    99 7 Close the front unit by gently pushing it up on both sides until it clicks into place. Make sure that the front unit is completely closed by pushing until you hear a click. After removing the jammed paper, check to see if the last page was scanned correctly, and then continue scanning. Hint When a paper jam or other problem occurs while [Rapid recovery system] is enabled in the scanner driver, the image of the last document that was scanned properly is saved before scanning is stopped. Therefore, you can quickly resume scanning after resolving the cause of the interruption. As the image of the document that was being fed at the time of the interruption may not be saved in such cases, be sure to verify the last scanned image before resuming the operation.
