Disadvantages: Price

...at the attached pictures) he Cardscan 600c is a nifty portable device, perhaps not to be used on the Inter-City train journeys necessarily but definitely moveable. Utilizing the now traditional black for computers, there's no electric blue or fiery orange colour to choose from, but that digresses from its function. --- FEATURES --- Attachable to a PC via USB, it is easy to setup and then transfer your business card designs into something tangible ...
...sides in quick time the expensive price tag isn't there just for show, the device holds up to 10 cards before having to remove them which isn't that impressive, but for such a small machine isn't too much of a hassle. The software is fairly straightforward, although I found it easier to print the cards in larger batches than just a few. A downfall is the fact that the scanner requires its own plug battery and doesn't have a temporary energy storage ... Read review

Advantages: A clever invention
Disadvantages: Expensive

...pretty good. When the cardscan is not properly connected a red light comes on but once all is in order you will see a reassuring green light (basically meaning "All ok, you can now use me!"). I did not need to read a manual to be able to use this, just insert a business card facing up and this machine takes it and in 3 seconds max it reads the information and transfers it into your pc. The best thing to do is to build a path the information follows ...
...folder you might want to create just as a "parking area" and then you can quickly check the card and then save it in the Contact Folder you want or the one you have created for your manager/s. What this clever machine does is to read the information and fill in the gaps of a e-business card with it. So the name goes under NAME and telephone under TELEPHONE, same for address etc. and this is all automatic without any typing at all! The good thing ... Read review

I bought this item a few years ago and was very impressed, easy to set up and use. Just plug it in load the software and off you go.

Canon, are very good and have produced many updates to the TWAIN, the ...
...manily used this with the APS adapter wchich has been effortless, just load the film in teh cartridge, slide the cartridge into the machine, press the scan button and wait for the photos to appear.

We use the CanoScan Lide 25 (which I'll refer to as Lide 25 from now on) at work and a handy little scanning tool it is indeed. It's very slim and lightweight and sits nicely on my desk, ready to jump into action whenever I need to scan a document or photo. You can copy directly from the platen (glass screen) to your printer or print or even email and it's very easy to set up. AN ABUNDANCE OF FEATURES The Lide 25 uses a USB connection so ...
...handy indeed - saving on energy is always a better option. Unlike other home scanners I've used in the past the Lide 25 scans to a fairly high resolution of up to 1200 x 2400 dpi so when scanning photos you get very good quality images. The software that comes with the scanned allows you to scan documents to PDF too and you choose whether you want them in colour or monochrome or select the image quality you want from 75, 100, 200, 250, 300 or 400 ...
