Where can i purchase replacement glass for the Canon dr-9080c scanner

Hi Joseph, you should be able to find the driver for your OS on the Canon website here. imageFORMULA DR 9080C Color Production Scanner

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.

CapturePerfect ver 3 is on chargeable basis! You can download ver 2.0 from http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0022439.asp?model= Though this is listed under Canon DR 5020, it works fine with DR 9080C. DR 9080C has very intelligent features and ver 2 works fine. I do not know if there are addl features with ver 3.0. I have used for scanning over 500,000 docs.

This must be a vertical line and appearing at the same location on all drawings! Please clean the glass thoroughly. It must be dust particle sitting on the glass.

Vertical lines are from dust on the Glass. Use Isopropyl alcohol, no solvents pls. Try scanning in diff contrast levels and if the thichness varies, it is confirmed dust on glass, whereas any fault in the reading unit will be constant and also have sharp edges.

Clean the glass thoroughly. Try Automatic settings and try various contrast levels in mamual mode.

Though I've never seen this on any scanner, I can imagine it being a reading glass out of place. This could cause a weaker reflected image overlaying the direct one. Look at the top & bottom glass strips in the transport area. They should look level & unbroken.

Its a scanner not a printer!!

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

The upgrades wont work without ver 3.0!

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?
