Designed for the busy office environment, these two new scanners simplify the scanning process with a range of innovative features.

First, a new-and-improved CMOS contact image sensor scans color documents just as quickly as monochrome and grayscale, providing consistent speed and accurate image quality. Both models feature Canon’s Three-Dimensional Color Correction to help produce image scans that are true to the original and free of unwanted color staining.

Maximizing productivity and operator convenience, the DR-2510C and DR-2010C inherit a range of innovative features available on higher segment models such as Automatic Color Detection, Moir‚ Reduction, Automatic Page Size Detection, Skip Blank Page, Deskew and Text Orientation Recognition.
