Can I view the scanned images by connecting the scanner to a PC via USB? or I have to take out the CD card and insert it into the computer?

You can see it on the PC via USB. It is very convenient. If I am using the docking station, I scan the docs, then I remove it from the dock, plug in my USB cable on the back left of the handheld, and voila! Picasa opens up and you see all the documents you have scanned.

You do have to turn the Wand on, but the moment you do, the USB treats is the same as an attached drive and you can access all the photo scans without removing the card.If you have any other questions, just ask. I think this is probably the best one on the market right now, and I have been using the software that came with it for a lot more than just the scanner. It comes with OCR software that works quite well, but it also comes with screen capture software that will save a chosen area of your screen to Word, Excel, a picture file, or the clipboard in quite a few formats. I have been using that a lot for things completely unrelated to the scanner.

There is a USB button that will allow you to view the scanned images directly from the scanners memory card. The button activates the scanner as a removable device in Windows.

Apologies for the lateness of this answer, but I finally scanned something and tried to view the scan via USB. Yep, you can do it just fine without having to remove the card. Just looked at the recipe I scanned (for Shrimp Pizza, which really is a dip and not an actual pizza!) from my hometown newspaper and it looked great.

No,This scan has no built in drive. You need to be connected to your computer to work.

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.

I assume so since you save your scanned images/documents etc... to an SD card, you should be able to transfer the images to your computer from the card.

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.

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

Yes. There are other formats to which your can select your scanned image to as weell The set up of the scanning drivers and scanner management program did not load correctly from the disk , thus requiring technical call and assistance. Tech Assist was great, responsive, on point and quick. I was up and scanning in minutes after opening the box. The scanner is blazing fast and accurate. We are quite please thus far.

The only way I have used it is to do the scan, then attach the scanner to the computer via USB and drag and drop the JPG or PDF to the computer to open the document. I've been very satisfied all aspects of the scanner. Because I work out of town a lot and scan large blueprints and maps, I purchased a 32GB memory card as insurance. Max Schnepf at maxks1@cox.net

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.

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.

Yes you can. There are two methods by which you can do this, but a little about how the scanner works first. When you scan a negative or slide, it places the digital image onto the SD card in the scanner. To get it to your PC, you can either hook the USB cable up to the scanner and the PC (which will open a dialogue like you connected a thumb drive or other memory device), or you can simply remove the SD card and insert it into your PC. Using either method, it is then as simple as dragging and dropping the photos to your computer.

I use an SD Card in the OMNI SCAN and copy the images to that. I then put the SD Card in the computer to download them from there.

Evidently your needs are much more complicated than mine. I have not tried to scan to a USB drive. However, I HAVE scanned several documents into my computer (Easy to set up) and then transferred to a USB drive from the computer. I realize that I have not answered your question but this solution is only one click extra and very fast.

I haven't figured out how to scan directly to the computer but I can download off the memory card through the scanner. I prefer using the memory card, very simple to use.

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

Yes! I am scanning to an SD card, but you can scan directly into the computer. Instructions are included.

Hello, you can use the Scan Disk, this is what I purchased and it works beautifully! http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=scan+disk
