Works very well

Great product, quick transaction. I travel frequently and take this product on the road with me.

Comments about Canon DR-2580C: We have other scanners in the office but the scanning speed of this machine is very impressive compared to its closest competitor. It takes no time in scanning, recognizing texts and saving in searchable PDF format. Not to mention its duplex capability.

Extends the life of an otherwise useless scanner

Fixed my scanner; Works well now

None

I installed the flatbed unit in a few seconds and it worked perfectly the first time. Switching between the flatbed and the autofeed unit is a snap using Canon's software. Great product.

performs well; high quality; easy to use

This may be a great scanner for new pristine documents but s far as a work horse for digitizing lots of old documents, it leaves much to be desired

Works; Software Suite

Grabs multiple pages at a time jams often; needs to be baby sat

A great scanner for a small business setting. Compact, fast to use and easy to setup for multiple users to scan to folders in a network setting. I would recommend it for purchase.

This is a DREAM scanner for anyone with lots of paperwork. It was expensive but at 25ppm it seemed the best option to reduce my paper clutter. It comes with Adobe 8.0 and some Canon specific software that was fairly easy to use without reading the manual.

Fast; Accurate; Easy Setup; Small; Twain; Isis; Duplex

Must read the manual to master all features; Expensive, no filing or ocr software

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. When it arrived, I called Canon and told them I was not going to pay $700+ for a machine so small and, I thought useless.

The Canon DR-2580C document scanner ($875 street) doesn't look much like its lower-priced cousin, the DR-2050C , but it's aimed at the same audience-those in small offices or small workgroups-and shares an emphasis on speed.

Fastest scanner we've tested for scanning and recognizing text pages; Driver supports both ISIS and Twain, to work with virtually any scan program; Flatbed option available

No software for document management or indexing included in package; Unclear installation instructions
