Amazon.com Product Description
Weighing in at 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. The Pentax DSmobile 600 Scanner is compatible with Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. It is backed by a 1-year warranty.

What's in the Box
DSmobile 600 scanner, leather case, 35-inch USB cable, user's manual, instllation guide, software CD, calibration card, and two 5x7-inch photo-scan sleeves.

Customer Reviews

Works fine with Mac and Yep software
I love this little thing - and I mean little; it's about the size of a folded travel umbrella, making it easy for me to carry around the country (I'm a road warrior). I use it with my MacBook Air and Yep from Ironic Software, which works with any Twain-compliant scanner - I bought this combination based on positive reviews from other Mac users. No big deal downloading the drivers. The app is intuitive, the scanner works smoothly; this simple setup does exactly what I need - no more, no less. And our long-suffering billing clerk is speaking to me again, since I've gotten my expense report backup turned in complete & on time every week since I bought this. We use a web-based time & expense reporting system, so I didn't need the Neat Receipts solution - although I might have gone for that if I needed the digital filing system.

Pentax Mobil Scanner
Works great.Easy to use, good quality scan image. I use it with my Cannon portable printer and computer as a portable copying machine. Fast scan rate.

A satisfied customer so far
I have only used the scanner a few times but it works well. Set up was quick and easy (which I like). I like the small size. It takes up no space on my cluttered desk. As with most products, you have to fool around with the settings until you get the image to look like you want it to but this was not a big problem.
