Impressive
This handy little scanner is a great thing to have. The first time I saw it was actually while watching a show on Netflix and one of the characters was using it to scan pages from a notebook. I was impressed and had to find it and found it right here on Amazon. It is easy to use after the initial setup. A couple of batteries and I set the time and date and did the calibration. Turned it off and back on and I was scanning. The rollers on it make it easy to scroll when scanning. I love this gadget and sometimes take it to use at work on the go when I'm working at different locations. I work in IT, so there's always a need to store, note, or back up information. Piece of advise, when scanning something small like an ID or a receipt or something similar, place the item on top of whatever color paper you want the background to be.
Great handheld scanner for the price.
I'm was hesitant with this purchase, but pleasantly surprised after just my first use. The device is very easy to use, and the image captured was very impressive. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in a handheld scanner. I use the scanner for images at our local historical society. I can also use it to scan pictures and document in place on display as well. This allows me to easily digitize content without removing from binders or displays....a real big help!
Very Handy. Easy to Set Up, Easy to Use. Perfect for Digitizing.
This is a review of the Magic Wand Portable Scanners for Documents, Photo, Old Pictures, Receipts, 900DPI, Scan A4 Color Page in 3sec, 16G Memory Card Included, MUNBYN Photo Scanner for Computer, Laptop.
I am an author and I got this scanner to scan in almost 20 years of handwritten journals that contain the basis for many of my books. This is my first time using a portable scanner, it really doesn’t take long to get up to speed with it, though.
This little wand scanner is not heavy, and not difficult to work with. It produces clear, good quality scans. I am using the medium resolution setting, and the scans are very clear.
Here are the important points I have noticed:
1. Your document needs to lay flat when you scan it. This necessitated me taking all the pages out of each journal in order to lay them flat.
If you try to scan from a book, the scanner will cut off much of the inside margin and sentences. I could not find a way around this.
In the YouTube video (search MUNBYN on YouTube) that shows how the scanner works, you will see the two markers on the scanner that mark the edges of the scan area. The quick start guide included with the scanner gives the URL to download the free scanner software to your laptop and the instructions say NOT to update it during the installation. A mini-CD came with mine but I have no drive for it, so I was glad to find that link. And for whatever it’s worth, I am running Windows 10 and that software integrated seamlessly without any further configuration on my part.
2. You must move the scanner slowly. If you move it too quickly, the red light comes on to warn you. I have had to rescan a number of pages due to this.
3. If you are scanning many pages that need to be in a particular order like I am with my journals, scan them in that order and download the images from the scanner all at one time. Like most scanners, this scanner names the scans IMG0001, IMG0002, etc. and there does not appear to be a way to override or change this. If you download some of them and then start scanning again before you have all of one project (or journal in my case) scanned, you will have to rename a bunch of them. In retrospect, I wished I had numbered my journal pages before starting, and I plan to with subsequent journals, so I can tell when a page is missing and if I have them in the right order. Have plenty of AA batteries on hand if you are scanning a large project. I scanned maybe 50 pages before I had to change the batteries. It could be those first batteries I put in were not fully charged, (the scanner did not come with any batteries) I did not test them before using, or maybe I am just slow and that created the drain on the batteries. I will update this review if I get a good feel for how many pages I can consistently scan on one new set of AA batteries.
All said, I think this little scanner is a very handy tool and I’m glad I purchased it. Highly recommend.
Easy to set up and use! Handy! Highly recommend!
I made some test scans right out of the box without reading the directions or uploading the software and it worked. Easy to set up and use. Hardest part was scanning to make sure there was nothing bad on the CD before installing on my PC's. There is so much stuff on the CD it took a while for some scans. No issues with scanner of software, though. Great thing about this is that with batteries (two AA's) this scans independently without the need for the PC. You only need your PC to transfer your scans and sort them out to it. PC recognizes it as another piece of hardware such as a camera or USB drive. Highly recommend.
Only caveat is you can't see t he scans until you transfer to your PC.
Except for not including two AA's Batteries to operate it, everything you need to operate this scanner is included. I'm glad I took a chance on this one. i already have a HP Scan Pro Scanner S2000v, but unfortunately as with so many other electronics, it doesn't work with my WIN 10 PCs. Hence, I had to invest in a new scanner.
