For small and medium size workgroups and departments, Canon's DR-2010C is a very competitive package. It combines everything required for high-quality colour document scanning and distribution in a size that will squeeze into the most space-challenged office, and at a price that will fit in even the tightest budget.
The innovative new model incorporates Canon's renowned document feeding technology and superb output quality in a functional, slim-line body that makes operation fast and efficient.
Plus with the versatility to scan a wide variety of documents and convert them directly into PDF format for electronic distribution, the DR-2010C will prove a productive addition to any workgroup.
When it comes to document scanners, workgroups and small departments have often been short changed. That's because, traditionally, the latest and best features were reserved for large scanners with price tags to match. That is until now.
The DR-2580C proves that good things really do come in small packages. This innovative colour document scanner provides the same scanning quality and media versatility of Canon's latest high volume models in a compact and affordable package.
And with the flexibility to scan anything from A4 documents to business cards and cheques, 24-bit colour, fast duplex scanning, easy one-touch operation and a convenient flatbed scanning option, why be short changed?
The best cost performer in its class The fi-6130's ability to scan up to 40ppm or 80ipm in monochrome / grayscale (A4, 200dpi) makes it the top cost performer in its class.

On top of this, the fi-6130 is able to scan up to 3 (up to 1.4mm thick) plastic cards at a time.
