Input is just like a keyboard. Wherever your cursor is, that is where the characters will go.

I don't think you can use this to scan in excel. I personally use a USB hand held barcode scanner for my desktop scans on excel. Its a whole lot cheaper around $40.

Never had to try it, but you would still have to hold down the scan button...there is a way to automatic scan, but we don't use it for our purposes.

I had the same question. However, place your documents either on the glass to scan if it's just 1 then if you have multiple place face up in the top feeder. From your computer, open up your applications where you will look for HP director. Click that open and then scan will appear. When you select scan you have nice options. It will ask you do u want to scan and save it to a file, or scan and email the document, which I love, choose one and your done. Took me awhile to figure that out.

Usually, yes. However, there are a few things to watch out for. 1.) It needs to be a barcode which the scanner can read. It looks like this scanner can not read 2D barcodes (= dot matrix codes). 2.) Most barcode scanners can be programmed to add into (or drop from) the "scan-stream" certain prefixes, suffixes, characters, controls, etc. The most common example is to add a "Tab" or a "Line Feed" to the end (= suffix) of the scan-stream. Therefore, if you then would scan a barcode into Excel, with a "TAB" suffix it would write the value into the active cell, and then hop one over to the next cell. With a line-feed suffix it would hop one down. With a suffix "Tab Tab Linefeed", it would hop 2 over & 1 down. 3.) Here & there barcodes can contain unexpected control characters, which Excel can process in very unpredictable ways. This is rare, but if it happens, then open Notepad text editor, scan the barcode there, and see what it reveals, b/c Notepad will not process control chars like Excel sometimes does. 4.) If the Caps-Lock is activated, the scan stream is inverted from all upper case to all lower case, or vice versa, depending on what the initial barcode represents. 5.) Some barcodes on shipping crates contain leading characters like "D" embedded into the date or "Q" embedded into the quantity. These can be manipulated either by reprogramming the scanner, or using some Excel worksheet function, etc. 6.) The user manuals of these barcode scanners are typically a real pain to read &/or understand. Luckily, for simple barcode scanning they are pretty much plug-&-play. Only if you were to modify the scanner's behavior (like adding suffixes, etc) you'd need to understand the user manual. 7.) There are free 3of9 TTF (true type fonts) out there for creating your own scan sheets with Excel. Needs some playing around with, but are really useful once figured out. Hope this helps.

I had the same issue until I open a software program and scan it and it appear on that program as a file that I can edit. I advise you to open a program and then use the m.scanner. it works like a normal scanner.

Sounds like the interpreter. I have two scanners and they work great. Try scanning to excel and see if you get the same results, if it's still a problem remove any other input device like mouse or keyboard. Turn off any other input - bluetooth, wireless and network one at a time. You'll find it.

Sorry, don't know. I really did not like the software, so I dumped it for a Brother DS700d sheet fed scanner with Page Maker software which are far superior and costs less.

I don't really remember how I did it, but I am using it by scanning directly to our program. I think there should be the small manual book that you can scan some UPC to control how you use this handheld either scanning directly or storing inside itself. Try and let me know.

use your PC and a USB cord. The built in Windows Fax and Scan program works well. If you do not want to use that program you can use the built-in HP Scan program which is a little bit more difficult to you and does not work with all PCs. If you do not have a built-in PC program you can download one from online for free. Good luck

There is a code in the book that came with it, that you scan. You have to enter program mode first, then scan the code. I'm not sure which one it is, but you can try several options until it works.

You have the option of sheet feed or old fashioned way. I need to verify again but I believe scanning jpg you cannot do sheet feed.

This will scan anything with a barcode though you will need to plug it into a power source (a laptop works fine) It will import to excel (though there is a bit of a learning curve figuring out how to do it)

It is more like windows explorer with better preview option. In terms of scanning, it is same as any scan software, you may use your computer's default scanner. What Paperport should excel is editing scanned documents, however it is so buggy you cannot use it. It is a good product in concept that could not mature in more than a decade.

I have it connected to my NoteII, works well no additional tools... however I can't get it to scan directly to excel sheets on my laptop...

Hi, As much as I've used my scanner it has always only worked when connected to my computer. I have the portable model and I'm not sure how the desktop works.

The scanner has a usb plug, and should come with said cable...all you do is hook up the cable to an available usb port on your computer.Install the cd that came with the scanner first...and it does automatic updates.
