I have been using the Pentax DSmobile Scanner a lot since receiving it. The scanner's small size and great scan quality is quite surprising. from Amazon.com I clip articles and recipes out of magazines and they hve piled up over the years. Since I am normally an organized person, I needed a way to save these but throw them out,too. This Pentax scanner has been the perfect answer. It is light weight and takes up little space, but really gets the job done. from Amazon.com Called Amazon.com and they sent a replacement right away. Have not hooked up replacement yet. I would not recommend buying this simply because you can get NO support from Pentax. Amazon. from Amazon.com Setup worked fine, but the scanner would not work. It would not even feed the calibration sheet. I called Pentax customer support, and he could hear the noise the scanner was making. He immediately said the feed rollers are hung up. from Amazon.com I just want to rate this product Pentax Scanner is great because no external power requirement, just the USB cable connected to the laptop. In addition, the vendor has delivered this product fast and safe to me. from Amazon.com I have yet to find a portable scanner that is a fast as, or produces as good image quality as, a nonportable desktop sheet fed scanner like the Xerox Documate scanners. I previously bought the NeatReceipts 3.0 scanner, but the quality of the scans was poor and it took a LONG time for the software to process each scan and have the pdf file appear on the screen. This Pentax DSmobile 600 scanner produces better quality scans, and the pdf file appears on the screen MUCH faster than with the NeatReceipts. The Pentax scanner is slightly taller and rounder than the NeatReceipts, but it's still pretty small and light. from Amazon.com I have my mac as well and decided to try it out. I have been working on it for about 4 hours and have not figured out how to get it to work on my Mac. I've tried Yep and the twain driver from Pentax but I can only get it to calibrate and then it just sits there. After getting a bit miffed I installed it on my PC running XP and it took about two minutes and I had beautiful quick scans that are perfect for my work in the field. from Amazon.com The pentax DSmobile 600 scanner is quick and simple to use while on the road. A great light in weight scanner to help the busy executive like me. from Amazon.com There's no support to have it shut off at the end of the paper being scanned. And there's no support to trim the scanned image to the size of the paper after the scan. I contacted Pentax technical support through their website, inquiring about the API of the driver, but received no reply. This is a major disappointment to me. from Amazon.com The Pentax DSmobile 600 is a compact little unit that works well with almost any computer. It scans very effectively and is easy to use. from Amazon.com
