A Scanner Lightly
After the recent acquisition of a printer I'm thinking that to complete my little bedroom office I need a scanner. Well okay, in reality the family needs a new scanner anyway. Since Microsoft decided to not support the drive from our current one. Way to make our only working scanner obsolete.
Seeing that I use a laptop, I'd need a good portable scanner. ScanShell has a good selection of portabe scanners, among them the ScanShell 200N (200NR). It's really more for business or professionals. With its A4 size and 600dpi resolution this scanner is best for text documents and other business related items.
For myself, this scanner is not the best. Since I would need to use it to scan large (11x17") pieces of paper and art. I would need one with higher dpi. However, it's perfect for my parents. Who primarily use their scanner to copy receipts and text documents. Hardly ever do they use it for photos.
What's nice about this is it attaches via USB 2.0. Which means it's ultra-portable and you can lend it out to friends who might need a quick scan. And that its driver shouldn't become obsolete as quickly as our old one. Man I love USB, it's such an easy way to connect technology.
You can scan your documents directly into PDF or other programs (like Microsoft Paint).You can also directly save the scanned image as a BMP, JPG, TIF, PSD, PCX, PNG or TGA. It's quite versatile.
Hrmm...perhaps I should start considering looking at this scanner as an early Christmas present for my parents...
