OCR scanner software included with Magic Wand. This photo was taken by spinning the roller bar outside of the camera's view. The scanning light only operates when the roller bar is turning (and of course, when the unit has been powered on and the scan start button has been pressed).
The scanning will only take place while the rollers are in motion, a notion that is very important to remember as we go through this review.īottom of the unit sports a set of roller wheels and the scanning light. On the bottom of the unit you’ll find the meat: the scanner and, equally important, a set of rollers. (Blury image courtesy of my Canon 200SX whose macro mode is "in spec".

Left-hand buttons select color/BW and 300/600 DPI resolution. Two LEDs indicate when a scan is in progress and if an error during the scan was detected.
An LCD screen gives you indication of the number of scans you’ve performed, and the mode and resolution chosen. The on/off switch and start/scan switch (one switch doing two jobs) is also on the top of the scanner. On the top of the device are two buttons that allow you to choose between color or black and white and 300 or 600 DPI. Also in this photo note the little silver button just to the left of the batteries - this is the power on/off and scan start/stop button. Additionally, the scan light only illuminates when the little rollers on the bottom of the device are in motion (more on that in a bit).īattery cover slides off easily. This is in part due, I believe, to the way that a scan is performed: you first hit the scan start button, do the scan, then hit the start button again. It is powered by two AA batteries and I’ve been running the thing for three or four days now and it’s still going strong. This is a nice touch it's very helpful when scanning larger books or documents to help you position the scanning surface.

Plus, it required booting up my PC, logging on, waiting for boot up, firing up the scanner software, yada, yada and yada. It just took too long per scanned page and I had to sit in front of or very near my desk for several hours. But after spending several hours scanning an out-of-print book that was falling apart using my standard Epson desktop scanner a few weeks ago, my enthusiasm faded. I have an e-book reader I’m finding that I want to put everything that I have that is on paper into the device: books, magazine articles, users/owners manuals, cheat-sheets, blah, blah and blah.
