It is the time of Canon DR-9080C Color Duplex Sheet-Fed Scanner (8926A002). May be, you have seen such scanners which adjust automatically with the size and thickness of the document but are not pocket friendly whereas DR-9080C differs a lot as the Canon is offering this scanner at much more affordable prices. This feature makes it appealing for the mass audience. The scanner comes with very high speed and accuracy. It requires almost zero record time. This scanner has changed the definition of cost performance factor.
