Features for Productivity

The Automtic Page Size Detection is a setting that still amazes me today. It works very well with the Canon DR-C240 scanner.

You should use the Automatic Rotation of Images for non specific orientation. The Canon DR-C240 has such a setting and you can set it up in the driver.

A nice setting to have is the Document Auto Color Detection . It is enabled or disabled through the driver of the Canon DR-C240.

Affraid of manually removing white pages? Don’t be, as the White page detection is available with the Canon DR-C240.

I just love the Multi image output spec. It allows me to output files in color, black and white or grayscale in the same job

Quality of images

I have seen the Background Smoothing setting improve with every update of the driver, and it is the same case with the Canon DR-C240 scanner.

I preffer using the Page Margin Cleanup setting for text documents. I would not use it for photos though

Can you trust the Deskew document totally? Maybe not, but on the Canon DR-C240 it will work perfectly most of the time.

Perforated Page Correction is an option that is missing on the Canon DR-C240. I would have preffered it was available.|Would you buy a scanner without the Perforated Page Correction function as it is the case with the Canon DR-C240.

I enjoy using Streaks Filtering on text documents, but the scanner here is missing it.

Extra Features

Can you use the Canon DR-C240 to scan really old documents? It should work if you enable the Manual Feeding settings.

I can’t imagine scanning without Barcode Recognition . It really is a good separation or indexing method.

Are you currently using the Separate Documents Automatically ? I really encourage you to try Separate Documents Automatically with QR codes.

The Optical Character Recognition is mandatory on just about any scanner and the Canon DR-C240 comes as standard with it.

Have you worked with OCR Predefined Zone ? Try it, especially for forms processing.
