Review on πŸ“Έ SVP PS4100: Portable Handheld Scanner for Color and Mono Scanning – 600DPI by Steven Loy

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Learning curve

I'm used to manuals etc. A simple card is required to set up this device. The terminology was a bit confusing. They told me to press the "Format" button, all I found was a hole and when I looked through a magnifying glass I thought there was no button. As it turns out, thanks to a helpdesk tip, the button is at the bottom of the hole and should be reached with a toothpick or a bent paperclip. I suggested that they might want to include this advice in the instructions for other people like me. From a technical point of view it is better to make it sunk. I think it's a great idea. While the first few scans are really shaky, it doesn't require much guidance. This is a neat and convenient way to copy documents anywhere without a copier. It will probably become an integral part of my equipment for rural life. I would have preferred a flash drive in the end (for easy data transfer) but a memory card works fine. For a comfortable connection to a computer, you need to soften the cable, but this is also secondary. Overall I am very happy with this product right from the start. I was able to scan multiple items and transfer them to my computer. My old handheld scanner was like a mouse and ran on a cord. It was really simple, but it had lousy definition. That's a great idea.
