Either the driver file is corrupted of the OS is corrupted. Re install the OS and install an good antivirus also. Load the driver and install Capture Perfect 3. Check if your USB cable also, it does not cost much to replace it.
You need to clean the scanner every morning with a well wrung wet cloth, especially rollers, glass surface and paper tray. If the paper sensor is dirty the scanner will assume there is paper!
Check you CP3 settings, are you controlling the scanner from the Comp or from the Front Panel?

You need CapturePerfect version 3 to run it. CP3 has quite lot of features for easy scanning. It is not available free on the Internet. CapturePerfect2 version is available at

but this has limited features.

Color scan files will be huge and it will take quite a time to process. Ensure that there is enough disk space in the computer to speed up the scanning.

There are sensors at various locations inside the scanner. If a document is skewed slightly, the scanning software can deskew the image. If skewed too much the scanner would ask you to rescan. The scanner senses the document thro a set of sensors. Ensure that the scanner is clean and that no bits of shredded paper is blocking the sensors.

Select Automatic brightness instead of manual. Alternatively you can select 'manual' and reduce the brightness till you you are comfortable with the quality of output.

You need to change the glass! It is not easily available in the market. Ensure that the electronics, particularly the LED module is not disturbed. While removing the glass, you need to keep the module 'glass-up' and unscrew the side catch, gently replace the glass and refix it.

Under CapturePerfect3, you can choose to deskew the scanned image while scanning itself. Also select 'Image only" radio button instead of 'Guide Plate'. The software will remove black borders around the image.

The Canon DR 9080C is a 'contact' scanner. There is no optical lens, instead it uses a technology called "Contact Image Sensor' or CIS. The page to be scanned must be close to the glass for a proper image. This is achieved by a full-length rubber roller just above/below the scanning module. The roller is spring loaded and in case it gets stuck, there wont be enough pressure on the document to keep it close to the glass. ensure these rollers are moving smoothly and if required clean them. The rollers are on the opposite of the Scanning module.

I have resolved this in the past and a new user just brought it up again.

The pafcv2.dll in Captureperfect 2 does not seem to work. If you install CapturePerfect 3 and copy the pafcv2.dll into captureperfect (c:\program files\canon electronics\captureperfect2 or whatever install path you used), you will find that you can now scan into PDF, even in batches!

Hi

Try to turn off the firewall setting and then uninstall and then reinstall the scanner driver.

If not, try to download the latest scanner driver that is compatible with the operating system.

Please clean the glass throughly.

There are two possibilities for the scanner output being slow. a) Lack of contiguous space in the hard disk- Do a defrag or release space by deleting unwanted space and run scandisk; b) Uninstall the current driver and reinstall proper device driver matching the Operating System you are using.

Welcome to Fixya!

Looks like the bios needs to be flashed on the particular model scanner you have. You will need to contact your local canon dealer to have this done because they have diagnostic software to do this with. I tried to search for particular error message over the internet and found nothing. I provided the manual of you unit and the common error message that you should be getting. Please look at page 75.

I have many years repairing Canon scanners so I hope my suggestion helps you out.

In my experience with the problem your having I have found that the bios needs to be flashed on the particular model scanner you have. You will need to contact your local canon dealer to have this done because they have diagnostic software to do this with. Also they can run the diagnostic software to tell if there are any other issues that need to be addressed on your scanner while they are there.

I hope this helps you out if not let me know.

I have many years experience working with Canon scanners. So I may be of some help to you.

Canon parts like the lens your looking for are captive parts through a canon dealer. My one suggestion to you is try Ebay. Sometimes you can run across someone on there that is stripping down a scanner and is more than happy to sell you the part you need. If you need any other help let me know. And I hope my advice helps you out.

If the rollers are worn out or dirty this can happen. Clean them if dirty or replace them if worn out. Dont use any solvent to clean them. The '******' roller prevents taking up of two or more pages, this needs proper cleaning.
Please 'fan' the documents so that they are not stuck to each other. With stapled documents, even after removing staples, the pages are held together at the place where the staple was present. Role the sheets and ensure they are separated.

The error reported should be 'P02' and not 'P002' This means that the length of the paper is more than the size selected. For example if you scan legal sheet after selecting A4, you will get this error. Select Autosize (with CapturPerfect ver 3) or select 'Scanner Maximum' and remove black background. You can also select a specific size with 9080C.
