20 totalWhat 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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)

Caution
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
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.
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
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.

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.
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.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.
95 Useful tips Here are some useful tips for scanning documents. Where are scanned images saved? Can the save destination be changed? Images are saved to the following locations, according to program settings. For example, save locations such as the following can be set in CaptureOnTouch.
96 How do I load and scan documents with mixed sizes? Set [Page Size] to [Match original size] (or [Detect automatically]) on the scanner driver settings screen, then scan. For details, see p. 50 (Windows) or see p. 73 (Mac OS X). What’s the best way to scan business cards or photos? Set [Page Size] to [Match original size] (or [Detect automatically]) on the scanner driver settings screen, then scan. Alternatively, register the size of the cards or photos to be scanned. For details, see p. 50 (Windows) or see p. 74 (Mac OS X). How do I print scanned data? The settings can be configured in CaptureOnTouch as follows.
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.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.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.
