The last choice creates a new folder for each set of files to stitch together. One turns the scanner on and doubles as a Scan button one chooses between color and black and white mode one chooses between 300 pixels per inch (ppi), 600 ppi, and 1200 ppi and one chooses between JPG format, PDF format, and JPG format for stitching multiple scans into a single image. While you're waiting for the battery to charge, you can install the programs the scanner comes with, including NewSoft Presto! PageManager for document management, Magix Photo Designer 7 for photo editing, and Magix Video Easy SE, which will let you convert scans into a video. Simply insert the rechargeable battery it comes with, connect the scanner to a computer by the supplied USB cable or connect its power block and plug into a power outlet. Unlike some wand scanners, it has no problems scanning across thick 4 by 6 originals.Īs is typical, set up is trivial.
As with most wand scanners, it includes two sets of rollers on the bottom, and lets you scan by starting either at the top or side of a page, and then scanning down or across in a single sweep. I'd call that a second-best workaround, but it's still a lot better than having to wait till you get back to a computer to check scan quality.īasics and Setup The S8X1102WH is a touch bigger and heavier than the PDSWF-ST44-VP, at 1.3 by 10.2 by 1.6 inches (HWD) and 9.2 ounces, but still eminently portable. However, you can scan some number of pages, and then connect by Wi-Fi to check them all at once. That leaves you with no easy way to check each page immediately after scanning. The Wi-Fi feature is less useful than it could be, since you can't scan while you're connected, and it takes a substantial amount of time to connect.
