Portable scanners are used to digitize images, text, and objects. They usually come in compact bodies with large optical scan heads that allow full-length documents to be scanned after a few passes. They are connected to computers using USB or serial ports.
Standard portable scanners are smaller versions of desktop scanners. They have sheet feeders where photos and documents are fed through to scan images evenly.
Handheld portable scanners
Handheld portable scanners look like ordinary pens. They are used by running the light source over the image. They are ideal for scanning texts in newspapers and books.
Power source: Choose a portable scanner that runs on both batteries and mains power. This will allow you to use it when the power is out or in areas without electricity.
Resolution: Choose a portable scanner with a resolution of at least 600 dpi to produce clear and detailed images.
