computer-powered and battery-powered scanning
There are two ways to use the scanner: computer-powered and battery-powered.
Both scanning methods give identical hi-quality results and one-button simplicity.
computer-powered
Computer-powered scanning means that you connect the scanner to a computer
with a USB cable. When connected to a computer, the scanner works like other
scanners: when you scan a photo, the image is saved on the computer. Once
images are saved on the computer, you can organize, archive, and share them
(for example, send images in e-mail or print images).
You need a USB cable (included with the scanner) to connect to the
computer and power the scanner.
You do not need batteries or a memory card.
You can scan photos and save them directly to a computer’s hard disk.
You can install software to help you view, edit, and manage images.
You can unload images from the scanner’s memory card to a computer.
The number of images is limited only by the computer’s hard disk space.
battery-powered
If you want to scan photos but do not have access to a computer, you can use
the scanner as a portable, battery-powered scanner. When powered by batteries
the scanner works like a digital camera by saving images to a memory card.
Later, you can transfer images from the memory card to a computer. You can also
transfer images directly to a printer or other device with a memory card slot.
You need batteries to power the scanner (not included with the scanner).
You need a memory card to store scanned photos (not included with the
scanner).
You can scan photos anywhere.
You can later unload images from the scanner’s memory card to a
computer, and use the software to help you view, edit, and manage
images.
combined use
You can use the scanner for both battery-powered and computer-powered
scanning. For example:
1
Scan photos anywhere (battery-powered).
2
When the memory card is full or you are ready to use the images (for
example, to send them in e-mail), you can quickly connect the scanner to
the computer using the USB cable (computer-powered), unload the images,
and send the images to your friend in e-mail.
3
When finished, disconnect the scanner and store it until you need it.
