Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Planon Systems Handheld Portable Scanner RC-800
Customer Review: It works until the battery doesn't recharge anymore...
Summary: 2 Stars
A very cool gadget, and no complaints about the scanning itself. Great images. Very true scanning, and easy to do.
The unit I received was odd. The first issue was cosmetic quality control. There was surplus cellophane tape on the lens which I had to carefully remove. The cloth "bumpers" on the ends of the lens promptly came off, revealing sloppy glueing of the case. These things should have tipped me off to structural difficulties to come. I'm an optimist, though, and continued to use the scanner past the warranty end date.
I didn't use the unit for a few months after the initial receipt. By then the internal battery would no longer recharge. Since the battery is a specialty unit soldered onto the scanner's circuit board and therefore not user replaceable, I am now stuck, out of warranty and only able to use the unit when it is attached to a power souce via its USB cord. Planon advises they can "fix" it for me, but at a cost of @ $150.00. Ugh.
I have just discovered that a travel USB/AC charger will power the unit so that it will work. At least I don't have to have a computer at hand to scan now, though I will still need a wall receptacle nearby. A small improvement, but overall a disappointment.
I could give this product a shining recommendation if only the internal rechargable battery were easily replaceable by the consumer.
Description of Planon Systems Handheld Portable Scanner RC-800
Planon introduces the DocuPen RC800 color handheld scanner - the latest technology breakthrough from the R&D efforts. Planon has been able to achieve full color 24 bit scanning in a remarkably compact and light form that provides you with the ultimate convenience. The RC800 is capable of storing 100s of pages into memory and it takes just seconds to scan a page. Choose the mode you want to scan: black and white, standard color or high 24bit color and the resolution from 100 to 400 dpi. Now you can scan your letters, color documents, pictures and bring them into Paperport software (included with the Docupen). The DocuPen is different from other pen sized scanners in that it scans a full page width and therefore scans the entire page including text and graphics in as little as 4 seconds. Other handheld and pen scanners only scan single lines of text or records handwriting and some scanners need to be attached to your computer whereas the Docupen overcomes these limitations. The need for convenient out of office scanning is enormous but has not been satisfied because the products to date did not fulfill that need adequately.Digital Cameras and Photo Categories
