Summary: I have purchased 4 of these scanners for my document scanning business and EACH ONE needed to be replaced or repaired about a year or so after the purchase date.
Summary: I had previously purchased a Japanese standup, gravity scanner, and it would not work correctly with Windows 97. I ordered the Cannon DR-2580-C.
Summary: First - these scanners rock! Never had a problem. We have 3 of these in our office. The newest one is probably 3 years old. We use them constantly - every day.
Summary: The feed on the product does not work properly. When a stack of documents is placed on the scanner it will try to pull all or several of the documents.
Summary: Comments about Canon DR-2580C: The company uses the 2580c as a document scanner. It's fast, light, and compact. It doesn't take up any more space than the telephone.
Pros: Accurate Color, Easy Setup, Excellent Software, Good Resolution
Summary: This is the second Canon scanner we have purchased. The compact size and sheet feeding is very convenient for scanning multiple documents at a work station.
