VuPoint ST470 Magic Wand Portable Scanner w/Auto-Feed Docking Station (Black) (Renewed)

In a mechanical world, everything works. I think it's a matter of scan quality. I'm so sorry! Several of these "portable" scanners will come in handy in the future, but I expect this to be the worst. The scans look just as they would back in 1982, no matter what settings or formats are used. It would be better if you took a picture of your pictures on your phone rather than a camera.

Once the document has been placed near the lip of the scanner, it will be nudged forward to acknowledge the scan has been initiated. It takes a second for the scan to begin. Very nice. The feature that makes this scanner stand out is the ability to release the wand. Almost any flat object can be scanned with the wand's untethered capabilities. Under the scanner, roller wheels allow for smooth forward motion (although they cannot assure this). With regards to scan speed variance, the fact that a scanner moves through a page at different speeds due to hand movement doesn't seem to matter much. There is a micro-SD card that stores documents Files can be copied to an SD card that is readily inserted into a computer. As a result, the scanner, or just the wand, can be taken anywhere to be scanned. The scanner is a great tool if you have hard copies that are at risk of being lost due to wear and neglect. By eliminating clutter and saving important paperwork, it makes life much simpler. The product is a good choice for those looking to store hard-copy information on a disk or capture flat images of virtually any kind with relative ease. A few minor shortcomings to bear in mind in Calibration may be needed right out of the box with this scanner. In standard sheets, I saw more blue than white in the images I was scanning. It is fickle how the background of your scanned image is reproduced. When all you need is the ability to read text and understand it However, a good consistent color for the page is definitely the desired result. For that reason, you must roll the scanner over the calibration sheet SLOWLY when calibrating it. You will never be able to calibrate the scanner if you roll it too quickly. It took me rolling the scanner at a fair rate of speed over the calibration paper no end of times to finally conclude In this case I just shut off the scanner, turned it back on, and then began scanning multiple On each of the images, there were different degrees of shading in the background. Unless you are only concerned with legible text, that was very close to being unacceptably large for a scanned image. Once again I tested the calibration, this time sending the scanner VERY SLOWLY across the calibration slide. I was surprised to find that My calibration instruction does not mention a speed for scanning the calibration document, but based on my unit, I can scan the document at the following rate In order to discover whether the calibration has been successful, the scanner must move very SLOWLY over the calibration sheet. It is important in cases where you plan to scan plenty of documents and want as clear an image as possible with this A second slight issue is the narrowness of the lip of the document feed. It may be necessary to use both hands to feed a document into a scanner if a sheet is not flat due to staple removal or other usage. Moreover, the scanner moves the document forward and then, after pausing to scan it, scans it. In such a case, the nudge might push the document too far, so the edge might be passed over when scanning begins. I don't think it can. While it has a few minor issues, this scanner provides a quick way to read a document and save it to a card. Thanks a lot. Ready to use right out of the box out of the.

I purchased one that was refurbished and it has worked well. Over 6,000 family photos have already been scanned with it in the first two weeks, and it is still going strong today.

Any students who are absent or lose their work can access the classroom website to download worksheets they need to do if they need them. I use it to scan worksheets for my students, which I then upload to my website. In addition to being compact and easy to store, the unit also fits in one of my desk drawers, saving me To use it, all I have to do is pull it out, turn it on, plug it into my computer, and scan the files I want. I then change scanning modes and copy the images I want to my desktop for uploading to my online classroom support page once I have scanned the pages. At the end of my workday, I disconnect the device and store it back in my desk drawer for a few days. It has only been about a month since I own it, but so far I am very pleased with it. There are two disadvantages that I have noted. As a first step, the software was on CD. It is not my work computer that has a CD drive, but I do think it is the direction technology is heading in. Increasingly, software is being purchased using a one time code and then installed using the code via a website. I would like the option to use the editing software that comes with my purchase, and a one time code would allow that option, while a CD will As a result of the PDF mode, you can apply a small reduction to the scanned documents. 5 x 11 documents are shrunk down to about 6 x 9 in size. Five by nine. An 8 is scanned when I use a scanner. Go to the PDF and print it on a 5x11 sheet of paper, I want the originals to appear exactly as they do in the PDF. The problem may be that software is available to allow me to adjust things, but for this, I am again at In summary, it is a much better scanner than the previous one. My unit has only been mine for a month or so, so it has plenty of time to break down as refurbished products sometimes do, so I am not able to comment on how long it lasts.
