Canon DR-2580C is very goodOct 01, 2007
By vham
"Transformation"
My previous document scanner was a Fujitsu fi4220c. It was an impressive scanner and suited my purposes well. I think I used it for about 7 yrs, and its flatbed scanning assembly finally broke. So, I replaced it with the Canon DR-2580C, based on a review from PC Magazine. So far, it had performed perfectly for my purposes. I am a physician and want to digitize many medical records from my solo practice to save space. I also OCR many professional articles that I study. Therefore, I mainly scan in simplex or duplex black & white at 300 dpi. This scanner is very quick in scanning the paperwork. I think it is essentially as quick as the Fi4220c. It is better in that it is much smaller than the fi4220c, because it does not have a flatbed scanner. I was concerned about the lack of a flatbed and considered buying the flatbed attachment. But I have not needed to use a flatbed since I owned the DR-2580C. I had previously used the flatbed of the fi4220c to scan the checks that I received. However, the DR-2580C performed this job easily without the need for a flatbed. The checks fed through the scanner without jamming. The scanner utility could deskew any minor misalignment. This was an improvement over the utility from the fi4220c. I also applaud the utility of the scanner utility. It makes scanning a quick and convenient process. I saved the two scanning profiles that I use most often. When I scan, usually through Adobe Acrobat, I just need to press "alt-F, F, Enter, Enter" and the scanning process begins with the last profile that I had used. So far, I am very satisfied with this scanner. I gave this scanner 4 stars only because I had not owned it for very long--only since the end of 8/2007. I don't know how well it will stand up to time and wear. Will it start jamming more frequently when the parts are older? I also have not tried all its features and don't know how well they work.

 Absolutely FantasticApr 30, 2006
By Neeraj Gupta
I have tried both DR 2050C and DR2580C and they are both great scanners. The DR 2580C however has an edge over the DR2050C. It scans faster and better quality. The scanner takes up slightly more desk space that the 2050C but makes up in sheer versatility. You can scan documents to TIFF files and then combine them into a PDF document using the included Adobe Acrobat Standard or use the Adobe software to create PDF files directly from the scanner. The file size and clarity varies between the two approaches. I was also pleasantly surprised by the quality and accuracy of the included OCR software.

Great little scannerMar 01, 2007
By Karen Franklin
"Forensic Psychologist"
I was a little hesitant to spend so much money on a scanner, but I wanted one that was both fast and accurate. I got both in this machine. It can scan multiple pages at very high speeds, and the quality and clarity of the images is great. I generally scan to pdf, but I've scanned to OCR and found that it was able to recognize most of the text quite accurately. It also has a variety of filters with which one can enhance images (for example, if the document to be scanned is in pencil, or if it has a colored background). If you play around with the settings, you can greatly enhance the images. I also appreciate how compact this model is; in its closed position it occupies the same amount of desk space as a standard-sized magazine or sheet of paper. The software and controls are extremely simple and intuitive, so you don't have to learn much to get started.
The only negative I've found is that it does jam fairly easily if the original is crinkly, too thin, etc., so you have to be careful. I don't know how this compares with other sheet-fed scanners, because this is the first one I've owned.
All and all, if you do a fairly high volume of scanning and can live with the price, I recommend it highly.

 Good for 12 months than garbageJul 02, 2009
By Sarah Porter
We've gone through two of these now. In both cases, they work for about a year, then they start jamming in the back, then a small metal strip on the back door gets bent and then they are toxic waste.
We used the scanner almost every work day, but only for small jobs -- well under 50 pages/day.
Canon makes some good products, but this isn't one of them.

aging reasonably well...after four units, wouldn't mind a successorJul 05, 2009
By Donovan G. Rinker
"donoglen"
I bought one of these in late 2006 while shifting my office (15 employees) in a paper-less direction. That unit works well, and after 10-200 pages per day, it's still churning along (occasionally misfires, but it's still more reliable than our relatively new HP 7580 multifunction unit).
We've expanded to 3 more units since testing out that first one; all of them still function (some misfeed more than others). Buying 4x small, semi-portable high quality scanners works better for us than one mega-sized super scanner - we can move operations to hotels when we have long-term projects, and if any unit goes down, the others pick up the slack (one misfed far too much, but the situation was fixed with a new roller). I'm mostly satisfied...
But this hardware is almost 5 years old: where is the successor? Where are the modern features I need - networking, bluetooth, wireless, "scan to email"? Why does scanning business cards with this thing still suck (sorry - the relatively new card scanning function doesn't work very well for us). What about running on USB power (like some of the truly portable units)? Upgrading the software and drivers? Speeding up the "push to scan" function (which takes forever to work)?
I love these little units the same way I loved my PalmPilot in its day, but that day is long gone by.
