I can't scan different document sizes (A3 and A4) in one batch with the Canon 9080C.

Most scanner devices will scan a document at the size of the scanner (A4, A3 Etc) If you want something smaller then open up the software that came with the scanner and you can Crop the scanned document to the size you need then save it in whatever format you need it in.

You probably need to set the user settings to "long doc" mode.

1) When the machine is in the standby state,
press the NEW FILE key and Count Only key
simultaneously. During the user mode, the
LEDs of the NEW FILE key and Count Only
key illuminate and the address (U01-U10)
and data (the last digit) appear on the
counter display.
2) When changing the address, use the NEW
FILE key. Each time NEW FILE is pressed,
the address changes, cycling from U01 to
U10.
3) When changing the data, use the Count Only
key. Each time Count Only is pressed, the
data changes.
4) Pressing the Stop key exits the user mode.

Long document mode =U10; 0=normal and 1=long document mode.

Happy Scanning!

Place A3 Document on platen glass or document feeder. Click copy ratio button. You will get 2 options. (i) Preset:- Press minus key and select 70% (ii) Zoom:- enter 70 manually Press oik Enter no of copies, press start

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.

The Canon 9080C is purely an input device and cannot 'take' copies, however it can scan any A3/A4 document which can be printed or emailed. By printing you get the copy. Technically it is possible to control the software/Computer through Software password.

All I can think of with Scanners is RAM and hard Drive space. You need heaps of BOTH. Especially hard drive space.

Hi
what size page are you trying to scan, if they are smaller than the gap between the transport rollers, they will not feed.

the single sheet problem you have:- the scanner knows when there is paper to feed when the sensor is pushed up beside the pick roller and it will put the tray down again when the rollers are pushed up. sometimes the little plastic sensor to the left of the roller gets a bit stuck and needs to be freed, it wares itself out where it hinges inside the cover around the pick roller. just unclipping it and cleaning it is usually enough.

good luck.

The problem is probably in your scanning software, you have to tell it if you want to scan legal size, and if you leave it set for legal all the time it might put dark bars under the letter size docs. It depends on the version of software on your computer.

You are right, it is driver related issue. Acobat 9 has more features that may not be compatible with the existing driver. may be you can use CapturePerfect and directly create PDF and then use the Optimising features of Acrobat 9. Ofcourse you have to do it twice, but you can use the 'batch' process and do it automatically.

Set your paper size to A3 - it should print out the docs on two seperate sheets of A4.
