Product Review
Scanning is a simple process with the Pentax DSmobile 600 Scanner. Just activate the program on your computer or push the button and it the scanner will start it up itself and then push the button again to scan. You can preset the typical format you use or easily change for things like pictures or business cards and other documents.
It weighs less than 12 ounces and measuring just 11 inches wide; the Pentax DSmobile lets you carry around all you need to scan everything from a business card to an 8.5 by 14 inch document. The scanner draws power from its USB interface so no clunky AC adapter is needed. Bring it along with you and you can instantly transmit a printed page via email, fax, or the web. The scanner has a hardware optical resolution of 300 dpi and the included OCR software automatically converts the document to editable text.
The scanner uses a Contact Image Sensor (CIS) to achieve its smaller volume and lighter weight, and also requires less power consumption and lower maintenance than a traditional CCD. The DSmobile has few moving parts, which promotes high reliability and nearly maintenance-free operation. It consumes only 0.2 watt of power in standby mode and a maximum of 2.2 watts of power when scanning.
