Simple scanning from Canon Middle East

The launch of this new device marks Canon's commitment to the workgroup scanner market and its vision for its future growth. Moreover, as an innovator within this space, the DR-1210C denotes Canon's recognition of a new, emerging market that it has classified, the 'sub-workgroup' sector.

"By taking steps to establish itself as a leading force within the workgroup market, Canon has initially focused on a specific segment in order to demonstrate its dedication. We have identified the 'sub-workgroup' sector as a new, emerging market that we believe has a significant growth potential and delivered its key requirements: simple, versatile scanning with defined functionality at a competitive price,"

commented Michel Sabbagh, Marketing Manager, CME.

Aimed at general business including the SoHo and SME markets, the Canon DR-1210C offers flexible two-way scanning. An automatic document feeder (ADF) ensures efficient batch scanning and the flatbed scans varied documents such as passports, business cards and books. This dual functionality means that the device is as productive and versatile as possible. Furthermore, as the most durable scanner in its class, the DR-1210C can scan at speeds of 12 pages per minute (ppm) in colour, black and white and greyscale at 300dpi and has a maximum of 600 dpi. The functionality of this device is extended to three fixed job buttons - scan to print, scan to file and scan to email - as well as 50 additional commands that can be personalised to suit the user's requirements (such as scanning to specific files and email addresses).

Set up is simple due to Easy Installer software - an installation guide - that is boxed with the device. Also newly-included as part of the 'out-of-the-box' solution is Presto! BizCard Reader. This software allows scanning of up to eight business cards at a time and it enables the effective capture of business contacts information. Once scanned, the information is saved into a designated contacts database for easy retrieval. Additional software bundled with the device is industry leading Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Std, Canon's CapturePerfect 3.0, and OmniPage SE (version 4) as standard.
