I'd like to be able to scan an item into the Search field at Amazon to bring up a product listing. Will this scanner do the job? Thanks in advance!

Yes it does. I have it sitting on my desk next to my computer. Just put your curser in the field and scan the bar code. Very easy!

yes, it is a decent scanner, USB supported in most applications. You application must have the ability to use the scanned data, basically it is like a keyboard wedge, anything you would normally input via kbd can be scanned.

Yes! I have been happy with this scanner. Has a reasonable price tag. Good luck!

Yes, but the information for pricing and description needs to be stored in a file or DB so you can pull it everyt time you scan a product. It takes an application or program to link the data to the scanning action.

You can certainly scan receipts with it but I do not believe that it will take the information off of the receipts and categorize it or anything. It is a very good scanner for basic light-weight purposes.

If set up properly it should work. I've used it to scan UPCs into an inventory program with only minor set up issues.

it will not automatically populate the information about price paid, or even product name. this barcode scanner, like any other, just acts as a keyboard input that reads just the number of the barcode that you scan and enters it into whichever application you have open and active. That being said, you could use it in the search box of a site like amazon and it will return the product as a result of the search if its barcode has been properly entered by a seller.

I believe this is strictly a barcode scanner... so you can scan the item you got, giving yourself the barcode... After that, you would need an independent program to compare that to prices and get information. Do they have those?? Maybe!!

I have used my scanner to scan photographs for online posting, and it worked fine. The clarity was great. I have had my scanner for over 5 years, and it still works with no problems.

Yes, but maybe not the way you think. You set up a template of fields that are important to you and after you scan them . . . you enter the data into that field. I tried the NEAT scanner which was very expensive, and it really didn't work the way they said on TV. You had to type stuff into that as well, so I find that to be able to find documents it is ideal. If you just want to scan business cards and create a database, I would look for another product.

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.

Yes, this scanner makes it easy to scan such things from books. However, remember the highest resolution you get is 600DPI. If that's adequate then you'd love the portability of this device.

Scanning is poor. For instance, it does not scan the whole sentence or scans the sentence above. It does not work well when working in a hurry.

I have this scanner. It only scans on one side. I never installed the software that came with it because it was immediately recognized by my mac. It may have software that assists with the page ordering but I'm sure you'd have to run the document through twice. I'd google it to see if you can get the manual online. Either that or see if there is some freeware to assist with the page ordering.

I use mine in a book inventory program which scans the ISBN code and fills in all the stats about the book and even presents an image of the front cover. Since each book is individually entered into the inventory, I just click on 'next book' and move on. I haven't had any reason to use it like you are asking about. I wish I could have been of more help. I'm sure the manufacturer could tell you more about the use if you can contact them. I love my scanner for what I need it for. It's so quick and easy. I'm very pleased.

Very good question.. I just tried it and it scanned my license flawlessly! Hope that helps.

Thank you for your quick reply. What about the MF4690? I posted a similar question regarding that one. It seems much newer. Does it happen to have a function that somehow supports duplex scanning, without having to *manually* re-order the pages?
