The DR-C125 scanner features intuitive face-up feeding with top feeding and top eject in an upright design, resulting in a small operational footprint, making it ideal for space-constrained desktops or even mobile cart usage.

The flexibility and high-quality images of the DR-C125 scanner make converting and capturing paper-based documents to digital format a paper-saving option for businesses.  Delivering color, black-and-white and grayscale scan speeds of up to 25 pages-per-minute (ppm)1  / 50 images per minute (ipm), the DR-C125 scanner can scan both sides of a document in a single pass.  It can reliably handle a wide variety of document types, including long documents up to 118” in length, for example, medical records such as electrocardiograms (EKGs).  The scanner also features user-selectable paper paths for scanning items such as thick documents, plastic ID cards, embossed cards and driver licenses.
