Can you send the scans directly to your computer without using the Micro SD ?

I could not transfer pictures from the scanner to the computer through the USB cable without the microSD.

You can connect the scanner to your PC with the USB cable if you do not want to put into any battery. Thanks.

Not that I know about, but if you have a Mac you can use "image capture" to scan. It comes with the OS. Maybe Windows has something similar.

No, you have to be connected Via USB in order to scan to your PC. Hope this helps!

You can scan to a SDHC memory card or directly to your computer using a USB connection.

No, and that is my only complaint about the scanner. Must scan batch of five on SD card, then upload to PC. Makes large quantity of scans even slower.

I do believe if you started up Paperport before you scanned something, then made the active folder the thumb drive, the files would go there. Moving them is so easy, however, that I don't know why you'd need to do that. If you want to scan directly to the drive without connecting the computer, then "no" it doesn't do that.

Yes, when you scan documents, they can be sent directly to your desktop or laptop.

Should scan about any document/picture. Mine came with software that will allow me to scan directly into the computer using the included USB cord and I can view scan directly. It also has the micro card that can be used to store scans without using USB. You would then have transfer to computer, but you will not be able to see actual scans until you connect to computer. The software that came with my scanner is EVERNOTE Sprint ABBYY Fine Reader (Direct Scan), SCANDirect (VuPoint), and Sort and File Suite (haven't used that).

I did not try it but note that it must be a micro SD card. I very much like this scanner.Just perfect for researching in a library or archive.

No, the only way to download the pictures is to use the scandisk and insert it into your computer.

If you put an SD card in the scanner (slot in front), that would enable you to scan documents without a computer (but you won't be able to view/edit the images/scans without a computer, of course).

I agree with Julianna. The person who says you can scan directly to your computer must be a computer whiz. SD card bought separately is required for me. I bought a mini SD card with adaptor. I guess it would depend on how fragile the book is and if it is larger than 8.5X11.5. If it is larger, you would have to scan it in sections and piece it together.

Yes you can. You just need to set that up on the scan options on your computer. I have done this with PDF format, but not sure if it works for other file formats.

I have not found that the software is that sophisticated. You can designate a folder for the scans to go to but they will all go there.

I don't believe it can be done. The scans are separate (can't run simultaneously) and won't save on the same document.

There is no method to move the images directly from the scanner to your PC. it has to go on the SD card. I actually like using the SD card which means I do not have to be in front of my computer to scan images I can do it in anyany room of the house that has a power outlet.
