Canon imageFormula DR-2020U Scanners

 The Canon imageFormula DR-2020U ($645 direct) looks like nothing so much as a neatly sawed off top section from a desktop laser MFP—a flatbed scanner, automatic document feeder (ADF), front panel buttons, and LCD for menu text, with no printer attached. More important, the similarity extends to a deeper level as well, with a focus on scanning documents. However, the DR-2020U is a far better document scanner than most MFPs, and better in many ways than most similarly priced document scanners as well. If you need a flatbed document scanner for a small office or workgroup, it definitely belongs near the top of your short list.
The DR-2020U offers lots of impressive features, including reasonably fast scans in general and exceptionally fast scans to searchable PDF files, but two features in particular make it unusually capable for the price.
Setup and Software
Basic setup for the scanner is easy. The DR-2020U measures 7.1 by 17.3 by 15.8 inches (HWD). Despite the relatively large footprint, it's short enough so that if you can afford to give up the space on your desktop, you won't feel like it's towering over you. Like the GT-1500, it's designed to sit in landscape orientation, as seen from the front, with the front panel on one long side, and the lid opening towards the back.
Scanning with Ease
The DR-2020U lets you start a scan from the scan command in a program, from either of Canon's scan utilities or from a front-panel button. One particularly nice touch is that in addition to three scan buttons—Copy, File, and E-mail—the front panel also offers an LCD-based menu you can scroll through to pick from a list of predefined scan jobs.
For each definition, you can define settings that include file type (including image PDF, searchable PDF, BMP, TIFF, and JPG), color mode, resolution, and whether to scan in simplex (one side of a page), duplex, or duplex but skipping blank pages.
Most document scanners offer a similar feature, but they typically limit you to either 9 or 10 definitions and show the choices only as numbers. Canon lets you define up to 50 scan jobs—an enormous number—and give them descriptive names that show on the LCD menu. Instead of having to memorize which number goes with which type of scan, you can simply scroll through the list to pick the definition you want to use.
