■Do not place objects on top of the scanner. Such objects may tip or fall over, resulting in 
personal injury.
■When unplugging the power cord, grasp it firmly by its plug. Do not pull directly on the 
power cord, as this may damage or expose the cord’s internal wiring, resulting in a fire or 
electric shock.
■Leave sufficient space around the power plug so that it can be unplugged easily. If objects 
are placed around the power plug, you will be unable to unplug it in an emergency.
■Do not allow water or flammable substances (alcohol, paint thinner, benzene, etc.) to spill 
into the scanner, as this may result in a fire or electric shock.
■Turn OFF the power switch for safety when not using the scanner for a long period of time, 
such as overnight. Also, turn OFF the power switch, and disconnect the power cord from 
the power outlet for safety when the machine will not be used for an extended period of 
time, such as during consecutive holidays.
■Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may get caught in the scanner while you are 
using it. This may result in personal injury. Be extra careful of neckties and long hair. If 
anything becomes caught in the scanner, immediately disconnect the power cord to stop 
the scanner.
■Be careful when placing paper in the scanner and when removing jammed paper. It is 
possible to cut your hand on the edge of a sheet of paper.
Disposal
When disposing of this scanner, be sure to follow all local ordinances and laws or consult with the

1-2 Features of the DR-6010C Document 
Scanner
The main features of the DR-6010C document scanner are described below.
 Fast Document Feeding
The scanner can scan a maximum of 60 documents per minute in a range of sizes from business 
cards to LTR/A4 size. (Scanning conditions: Black and white, LTR/A4 size portrait, 200 dpi.) 
Scanning speed is the same for both color and grayscale scanning.
 USB/SCSI Interface Supported
The USB interface that was provided as standard on your computer and SCSI extension cards 
are supported. (See “2-2 Installation Requirements,” on p. 2-2.)
 Color/Grayscale Support
Documents can be scanned in 24-bit color or 256-level grayscale.
 Supports a Variety of Scanning Modes
The scanner supports the following scanning modes, depending on the document type:
- Single-sided/double-sided mode
- Single sheet/dual feeding path
 U-Turn Path
Documents are fed and ejected from the front of the scanner. (See “3-2 Document Tray and Eject 
Tray,” on p. 3-3.)
 Straight Path
Documents are ejected to the back of the scanner. Note that the ejected documents are stacked 
in the reverse order from which they were fed. (See “3-2 Document Tray and Eject Tray,” on p. 3-
3.)
 Paper Size Detection
The scanner automatically detects the size of a scanned document and eliminates any 
unnecessary space around the edges of the image when storing the image, even when storing a 
document of irregular size. 
 Double Feed Detection
The scanner stops feeding documents after detecting more than one document being fed at the 
same time. (See “Double Feed Detection Function,” on p. 3-30.)
 Deskew
The scanner straightens images after detecting that a document was placed askew. 
 Card Scan
You can scan business or ID cards. Note that embossed credit cards or similar items cannot be 
scanned. (See “3-1 Documents,” on p. 3-1.)
 Auto Color Detection
The scanner detects whether the scanned document is in color or black-and-white, and saves the 
image accordingly.
 Text Orientation Recognition
This mode identifies the orientation of characters in a document, and rotates the image so the 
orientation of the scanned characters is straight.

1-6
 Text Enhancement Mode
This mode enables you to scan documents with dark backgrounds or documents with faint text 
written in pencil clearly. 
Note
This mode may not function effectively, depending on the document type.
 Dropout Color
The scanner is equipped with a Dropout Color function that enables you to specify a color for the 
scanner to omit from the scanned image. 
 Color Enhancement
The scanner is equipped with a Color Enhancement function that enables you to specify a color 
for the scanner to enhance on the scanned image. 
 Skip Blank Page Function
The scanner is equipped with a Skip Blank Page function that enables you to scan a document 
without storing images of blank pages, regardless of whether each page of the document is two-
sided or one-sided. 
 Prescan Function
The scanner is equipped with a Prescan function that allows you to adjust the contrast and 
brightness of a prescanned image and then send the adjusted image to the application software, 
without needing to scan the document again. 
 Remove Binder Holes
This mode erases the black spots that appear on scanned images from binding holes on the 
original document.
 MultiStream Function
The scanner supports MultiStream, which, according to the application, can create two images 
with different scanning conditions from one path scan.
However, this function can only be used if the software supports MultiStream. (See “MultiStream 
Function,” on p. 3-33.)
 Long Document Compatibility
You can scan documents up to 118.1 inches (3000 mm) long by setting the Long Document 
mode. (See “Long Document Mode,” on p. 3-30.)
 Compatible with Carbonless Duplicating Paper
The scanner is able to scan carbonless duplicating paper.
 Energy Saving Mode
This scanner is compatible with the International Energy Star Program, and is designed to save 
power by using the energy saving feature except when scanning is being performed. 
Note
Some functions may not be available depending on the software you are using.

 An ISIS-compatible application or a TWAIN-compatible application that is compatible with the 
above operating systems.
IMPORTANT
 If you do not know the requirements for your computer system, contact the store where you 
purchased the computer or the manufacturer of the computer for more information. 
 Do not connect both a USB interface and a SCSI card at the same time. 
 Be aware of the following information when using the USB interface that was provided as 
standard with your computer. 
- The USB interface should be a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface.
- Scanning speeds are lower if your computer’s standard USB interface is USB Full-Speed 
(equal to USB 1.1.) In this case, using a SCSI expansion card is recommended.
- Use the latest USB 2.0 driver made available by Microsoft. For details, consult your local 
authorized Canon dealer.
- Normal operation is not guaranteed with all USB interfaces, even if present as standard 
equipment on the computer. For details, consult your local authorized Canon dealer.
- The USB cable you are using should be the one originally included with the scanner or a 
Hi-Speed USB 2.0 compatible cable.
 Be aware of the following information when using a SCSI card.
- Make sure to follow the procedure in the manual for the SCSI card and the computer that 
you are using when installing a SCSI card in your computer. 
- The overall length of the SCSI cable you can use is determined by the SCSI standards. 
Refer to the manual for the SCSI card you are using for more information. 
 If the CPU, memory, interface card, and other specifications do not satisfy the installation 
requirements, the scanning speed may be greatly reduced and transmission may take a 
long time.
