Do you have to have this connected to a computer to save the scanned items? Or can you save it to a memory device/stick/etc.?

As far as I'm aware this is just a piece of hardware and would definitely need to be connected to a computer to perform any scanning/saving functions.

Well, I always run it without the computer connected so yes, you can scan to an SD card, then move the card into your computer if it has a card reader built in - or you can connect a USB cable to your computer to transfer the pix.

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 have never used it for documents, but because it is stored on a usb flash drive I would have to say yes as to anything you would like to scan through, it also saves to your hard drive.

When you scan something you save it to the memory card and then you can download it to the computer to organize and save for future references.

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

You can store and save codes in the scanners memory and then print after connecting to a PC. You cannot print directly from the scanner.

Scanning is Simple, Hook up USB Cable from printer to U'r computer, power up Printer, Press Arrow Down on right in the power options box to highlight to Scan option. Follow the directions that will post on U'r computer screen on where scanned document is to be saved.... I always pick to save on my Desk Top to find easily, Then resave in another location if need be. Hope this helps ~,~

No, the scanner has an SD card and then you take it out of the scanner plug it into your computer and download the pictures to your PC. It actually makes the scanner a bit more portable and easier to use in a lot of ways because you don't need to have your computer handy or near the scanner ... just scan photos and then when you are ready take the SD and transfer them to the computer. It is a nice little scanner. Works very well on most pictures ... if the pictures have a very dark background they won't scan as well, but otherwise I have been very impressed with it.

I place multiple documents in the upper level tray and then hit scan. It should save them as a collective file within your computer.

Unfortunately you cannot scan directly to the computer with this device. The scanner scans directly onto a memory card inserted into the scanner. You then have a switch on top you can toggle (scan/pc) that turns the device into a memory card reader for accessing the images. I would have preferred the option of scanning directly to the PC myself but there is a plus side. The scanner itself proves to be quite mobile, you don't need to have it attached to the PC or the PC turned on to operate it. This is handy should a friend have slides they want scanned in, you can just bring the scanner over to their house and scan away. I will say this though, after using it now for a while, I'll probably end up buying a different scanner. The image quality can be great on some shots, but on others, the automatic adjustments can give you a "washed out" image that's overly bright. For instance, on a slide of someone wearing a yellow dress, with the brightness and automatic image adjust, the scanned image makes them look like they are wearing a white dress and the image looks a bit soft and fuzzy (and there's no way to turn off or disable the automatic image adjust). Buy the scanner if you're looking for a cheap quick portable and very easy way to scan slides, don't buy it if you want the very best image available and aren't bothered about price or portability.

That is true. It is not a stand alone unit - it must be connected to a computer in order to retrieve docs/pics. Hope that helps.

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

No. You must scan to the SD card then export to computer. I have tried to scan/export directly to computer with no success. The process of scanning to the card is very fast and simple however.

The scanner does a preliminary scanning and you may see what was scanned. After that, you may edit the picture and crop it. In terms of saving as a bitmap, you may select saving options and set what you would like the format of the scanned file to be. It is a little tricky though as the saving options are being overridden with default settings every time you start a new scan
