If you are in the 'batch' mode, the software adds this. If you select one page scanning, you have the chioce to select the file name you want. Actually after scanning, u need to save it in the neame U want.

Try in install captureperfect in Admin mode and give full rights and select the setting you want. Log off and get into user mode and try Captureperfect. This can work. If there are not too many variations in settings required, the best is to select Autocontrast option, but you may get a samll black patch on the top.

First check if the front side (i.e top) scans properly in the simplex mode. Try different contrast levels for better clarity. In the setting menu select appropriate contrast for both fron and back, then you should get good outputs. Even after all this if the front page gives dark output, may be the LEDs are not glowing due to lose contact. Try in color to check LEDs. S. Mohan, Chennai, India

Color scanning is a big technology. There are concepts like Hue and intensity, refer to wikipedia for explanation. There is something called source light (your monitor for example) and reflected light (your picture that is being scanned). After scanning properly, say you view on a monitor where the Brightness & Contrast are not proper, you will see the image poorly! To test the scanning scan absolute white and check the output. It should read the values 255,255,255 for RGB (Red, Green & Blue). If the values are 255,255,255 but still the image does not appear white on the monitor, it is monitor setting that is wrong. If the output is not 255,255,255 then CANON service personnel only can help. Any good imaging software will display the RGB values.

CANON uses LED light source and they have fairly long life as compare to scanner bulbs. It is okay if you use a powerful system, but it has limited role as the scanner does all the jobs and it only sends the data to the Comp. May further processing is better withe high performance CPU and large RAM.

Check the scanner settings in Captureperfect. Try scanning in color by selecting color mode. If it works then there is no Hardware issue.

As per the manual...

Press "New File" and "Count Only" buttons at the same time till they flash. Then hit the "New File" button to cycle through options. U10 is the normal/long doc mode. Change from 0 to 1 by hitting the "Count Only" button. Then to save and get out of User Mode hit the "Stop" button. The manual recommends only having long enabled when needed, it will slow down processing when using auto-detect length setting.

Its a scanner not a printer!!

I have two of these scanners the only way that i have found round this is to scan the pages duplex then remove the unwanted afterwards!

Canon 9080C is a very good scanner, so dont dump it.

Yes all power supply units have a fuse. Check if it is okay. You can source scanner power supply board from the market, if you can handle it or it is easy to call Canon support and get it fixed.

Reinstalloing

We have the same problem where I work. We use a black texta and draw a line down the middle of the page. This gives the scanner a point to pick up apart from the minimal text at the top. However, this will only work if you are happy to have a line on your scanned document!

Do you have enough hard disk space? Reinstall your driver software. Run Scandisk on the Comp.

Is the problem coming on after a set time interval, any heating smell?

I have the same model Canon DR-9080C scanner which I recently acquired and I'm trying to figure out how used it is. I see many referrign to a counter. I see the big LCD on top front, but how do you know how many total pages have been scanned through it? I read somewhere there is a mechanical scanner. Is this true?

Hello We have been having this same problem when scanning Black and White as well. We have just played around and have changed one of our settings that has seemed to solved the problem for now. Try Properties (on scan settings) then more then click on - Detect Page Size - Image Width instead of Guide Plates Hope this works for you to

There are sensors in the paper path. Just blow air to ensure that there is no shreds of paper is blocking the sensor.

Captureperfect 3 is not available on the Net. Only version 2.311 is available. (It may also be called upgrade) Download this and this can meet yr basic requiremnts. http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010035.asp

With better processors and large storage, higher color depth is the order of the day; however if you dont want higher color depth, you can convert the images after scanning. Ofcourse it requires an addl effort.
