Timing for manual feed scanners isn't very meaningful, since a lot of time is taken up with manually feeding the pages, but it's worth mention that once you put the page in the scanner, it takes only about 6 or 7 seconds to scan a 4-by-6 photo at 300 ppi and only about 10 seconds to scan a letter-size page. Once you're happy with the setting, simply feed pages, one at a time. The power light changes color with each button press to indicate the resolution-green for 300, yellow for 600, and red for 1200. If you want a higher resolution, however, you can choose 600 or 1200 ppi by pressing the one button. Whenever you turn the scanner on, the resolution is 300 pixels per inch (ppi), which is all you should need for most purposes. The only setting you can change is for resolution, and the only button on the scanner is the power button, which you can also press repeatedly to cycle through the resolution settings. All scans are in color and are saved in JPG file format. Scanning Scanning with the S8X1100 is as simple as setting it up. You can then copy the files to your hard drive to use them with any programs you like. The scanning is all done by the S8X1100 itself, with the scans sent to memory, not to programs. Installing each program is easy enough you don't actually have to install any software. If you explore the disc, you'll find the document management program NewSoft Presto! PageManager 9, the photo editor Magix Photo Designer 7, and Magix Video Easy SE, which lets you convert scans into a video. It actually takes a touch more work than with most scanners, because you have to find each program on the disc and install it separately, instead of relying on an automatic installation program. Installing the software that comes with the scanner is only a little harder. Just connect the scanner by the supplied USB cable to a USB port or to the supplied power block plugged into a power outlet.
There's basically no physical setup needed. All you have to do is go to the folder with the scans, using Windows Explorer or another program, and open the file to see the scan.īasics and Setup The S8X1100 is small enough to fit easily in your laptop bag, at 1.4 by 11.4 by 2 inches (HWD) and it weighs only about 13 ounces. Your computer will see the memory in the scanner as a USB drive.
One advantage the S8X1100 offers over most computer-free scanners is that if you're plugged into a USB port for power, you can also easily check the scan quality anytime during a session.
