Only to re charge the "rechargeable batteries" or to download scanned images.

The Magic Wand takes batteries for use anywhere you want to scan. It comes with a USB cable to download into your computer.

You can't power or charge the scanner via the USB cable. It uses replaceable (not rechargable) AA batteries. The Bluetooth version uses an inline rechargable battery that can be both powered and charged by the supplied USB cable.

I don't think so. The usb is to connect to your pc for download. I use the scanner and then move the memory card to the pc. The batteries last a long time.

Hi, the product does not come with a USB cable, you'll have to buy one. I bought one but my PC doesn't notice when I connect the scanner to the usb port, so I haven't been able to update the scanner and neither can I get the scanner to recognize my car (toyota corolla 2008).

A very interesting question..I just tried it and the answer is YES. This item will scan and print without a computer hookup.

You can purchase the USB cable from scannermaster.com and then download the software Freescan to program you scanner.

Thank you for your interest in our kits! In regards to your inquiry, this scanner has a built-in 700mAh rechargeable lithium polymer battery. The unit would charge through the supplied USB to either the computer or AC Adapter. The AC adapter is not supplied.

The DS-620 scanner is powered by the USB connection of the computer used when scanning.

i do not know. i used the disc that came with and could not get it work on either of my computers. I tried the online software and could not get it to work either. I was able to see the scanners control panel but the controls would not respond. I did not bother to research because my problem may have been the pin cord, I bought a cheap one. my recommendation is to use the high dollar pin connector to usb. Radio shack has one for around 60 bucks

This great little scanner uses a USB connection to a computer. It has no internal memory, so you can't use it as a stand-alone item. It depends on computer drivers to work.

USB - yes, the setup instructions show you how to connect the cable. Scan to computer - yes ... I believe that there is a brother scan utility however I use Irfanview, my favorite (free) graphics app to pull scans from our machine.

You only have 2 usable USB Ports available on each L300. I haven't plugged a scanner into it yet, but... I'm thinking each scanner is rated at 400mA (.4 Amps) not .4mA and I don't think an L300 can handle that. The USB ports are primarily for USB memory sticks, although I've successfully used them for printers as well. I do know that the dental x-ray sensor I tried once did NOT work reliably on it.
