I am Danny Hawk, VRS’s Product Manager. And the topic for today is a quick tip. It is configuring your Canon DR-X10C with a VRS.
The Canon DR-X10C is only certified with VRS through the Kofax Accelerating Board. We call this board a CGA board. CGA board, otherwise known as a Colored Graphics Adapter board performs image processing features such as deskew, crop, binarization, auto-orientation and auto-color detection. The CGA board actually sits inside of the housing of the scanner and can be purchased as an option through your seller.
When you purchase a CGA option for the DR-X10C, you will receive a kit which will include the CGA board, the VRS CD. The CD is specific for the Canon scanners. And, you will also receive insulation notes. Make sure that you read these notes before you attempt to install.
On the scanner in the upper left hand corner, you have a third party slot and you will need a Philip screwdriver to remove two screws to remove this plate. After you remove the cover, you will have to expose a third party slot open here, and this is where the CGA board will go. So, what you want to do first is actually put the CGA board into the scanner before you install the software.
In the third party slot, there is a track on one side. One good rule of thumb is, the CGA board itself has a USB and a SCSI interface. If the USB interface is pointing up or is on the top, then it is in the correct orientation. And, you can just slide it right into the track and it will click into place.
Once you have the card in place, you can go ahead and install the VRS CD that came with the CGA option. Once you have installed the software and reboot, then you can go ahead and connect your USB cable or SCSI cable up to the CGA board. Reconnect up your AC power chord and turn the scanner on. Windows will detect the CGA board and you will be ready for VRS scanning.
