Does the scanner have any data storage capacity? Do I need to carry my laptop to use the scanner? Does it have any battery/power storage? In other words, can I pull this from my briefcase, scan something and then go home and download it? thanks

It does not have any storage. It IS USB powered and as such have no battery or power adapter. You need a computer/laptop with a USB port(s) to scan. You don't need their software, only the drivers. I use a Mac and use either Preview or Adobe Acrobat to make documents (.pdf), but there are all manner of apps that can access the scanner for various purposes. The neat feature of this scanner is that you can scan both sides of a document simultaneously. So in order of questions asked: No. Yes. No. No. You're welcome.

I'm thinking of buying this scanner. I am an oral historian and need a portable scanner to take with me on my interviews. I will be scanning photos, news clippings, all kinds of things. Question: does it really work with Windows 7 64 bit. I have an HP laptop I'm planning to use it with. Current feedback would be great. Thanks!

I'm using the SD card, but, you can connect the USB cable that comes with the scanner to the scanner and PC, select the USB MSDC mode on the scanner through the main menu, your computer will recognize the scanner (just like it would recognize a camera or flash drive or external backup device), then on your computer go to the drive for the scanner and transfer the images.

My mgr elected not to use the scanner so I can't answer your question. Sorry. Other than that, it's been a very reliable and fairly easy to use machine so far. Regards, Ric

It only scans, it doesn't print. It is however, an amazing scanner. It requires no external power, its USB driven. The scanning software is very easy to use. And it is truly compact and light. You can easily put it in a bag with your computer and travel with it or use it at the office.

This scanner has no intenal battery, It comes with a external power supply (a wall wort) and a usb cable, the usb cable is dubble USB A ended and both A ends must be used for powering the scanner, plug Mini(micro)B into scanner.

As far as I know there is no memory in the scanner. It is saved on your computer. So the memory it uses is based on the RAM you have. The scanner is simply the tool allowing you to scan in the image.

USB plugged into computer will power both scanner and feeder. But by doing that, you can only save or send everything you scan directly to the computer, can not save to SD card. If you want to save scaned documents to the SD card, you need to unplug the usb and power the scanner with batteries. Hope this help

No, it has a separate power cord. Some devices will work with either USB power or a power cord but this scanner must be plugged in.

No. The scanner is handheld not attached to computer. You scan what you want, then hook the scanner to the computer via usb cable and download data to a file.

power cord and usb cable but I would avoid this scanner, it would not charge the internal battery and when using external power it would not scan. also, build quality is not very good, cheap plastic.

You just slide the scanner across the receipt. I had no problems, but you will need to buy a memory card.

The scanner has no memory. It just scans the data into a file on your computer. So, capacity is dependent only on how much disk space you have available on your computer. If you meant, how many pages will the scanner process at one time, I'd say about 30 pages will fit in the input tray.

The scanner is powered over USB, so for a vehicle you would first need a laptop, then scan it over USB to the laptop, but for that you would need a direct power line in your vehicle, or a 12V to 120V power converter to keep the computer charged. I also do not believe the scanner has local storage if you have a standard usb charger for a car that you could use

Yes it does. You load a certain number on the scanner (capacity is limited) and then you transfer to computer file for storage.

There's a standard USB socket on the tail end of the scanner. You can fit your own cables to this socket. None are provided with the scanner.

You need a usb connection, no blue tooth is needed. The scanner might need formatting to work with your system. Talk to the software company to help you to figure it out. That's what I had to do.
