I was looking for a scanner on the go. Do you think this will get the job done?

I guess you culd use it in a pinch for a quick pic of something. it wouldn't be scan quallity. I would suggest an inexpensive printer/scanner like te Epson 300 you culd hook to your laptop. if you're travelling light then this might not be workable. Maybe one of thse hand held scanner would work for you? I can't recommend this webcam for scanning purposes.

I own a mechanics shop and this scanner has done just about everything I can imagine... It is well worth the money...I do believe it would..

When our office bought this scanner, everything came with it. I would recommend that you check into the Fujitu scanners, as they are a better quality and you will be much happier with your results in scanning. I bought one for home and use it more than I use the Kodak Scanmate at work.

It does not have a feeder for documents so I think it will handle a standard document in one scan. It does an excellent job at color and black and white photos and ahas done a superb job on photo negatives and slides that I have scanned with it.

B. Finberg - Thank you for your detailed and thorough response. It seems like this may be the scanner for me, but I am going to take you up on your recommendation to check out dedicated negative scanners as well so I can make the best decision. Ryan

I think it is worth it if you are going to do a lot of scanning where you want to try to organize it all. If you are just doing one-off scanning, I would say no.

This is a good casual scanner, I've tried often to do multi-page documents and find it to be more trouble than it is worth - I then go to my multifunction printer which has a scanner. If you anticipate a lot of multipage documents, I would not suggest this unit, though it can do it, it is just a painful process to get it to work adequately.

Yes, it is. And a real work horse of a scanner. The quality is excellent and I've never had a hint of trouble with the ones in my office and that is with very heavy use every day.

yes, it is a decent scanner, USB supported in most applications. You application must have the ability to use the scanned data, basically it is like a keyboard wedge, anything you would normally input via kbd can be scanned.

It is possible. I used it to scan manuals and large books. It works out ok, requires a little editing afterwards (rotation).

yes, it is just a scanner truthfully the only reason we purchased was to help organize receipts for business. if you just need to put your recipes on computer i would just get a cheap scanner it will work the same or use a printer/scanner

The scanning quality is good, depending on your setting. Scanning for "professional printing" is a little vague because you didn't mention size or the type of artwork. I have not been unhappy with any of the functions.

I'd say yes. Keep in mind the quality of the copy won't be as good as with a regular scanner, but it's very decent. I carry my scanner in my murse (male purse) and scan all mail and important documents. I use it sometimes to scan book pages as well and the copies are pretty good.

I would use it for that. The machine is super fast, and it's pretty impressive how accurate it is in sizing and framing whatever it is you're scanning. I haven't used it for scanning pictures, but I wouldn't hesitate to start.

No. The scanner doesn't have its own storage and needs to be connected to a computer via USB to work. If you want more portable scanning, try the Doxie Go, for example.

There was a review online ... http://business-card-scanner-review.toptenreviews.com/worldcard-ultra-review.html "This business card scanner is one of the most compact and lightweight devices we reviewed. You'll be able to easily transport it around and use it whenever you need. It will plug into your computer with a simple USB cord, so you won't ever have to worry about batteries or any other power source. The device is also compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems . This is especially convenient if you use both types of computers."

Not sure. It's not exactly fast, but I suppose that's subjective in comparison to other scanners. I'm no expert, but would estimate possibly 5-10 seconds a page.
