Can I scan away from the computer and then upload later? Either NeatReceipts or NeatDesk?

Hi, As much as I've used my scanner it has always only worked when connected to my computer. I have the portable model and I'm not sure how the desktop works.

No, it must be connected to a computer via the USB port. There us no capability for a memory card.

I am not sure if I understand the question completely, however, this may be of use to you.Send any file to Neat. Go to print an item and use the printer name dropdown to select Neat as the destination. Your item will be "printed" directly into your Digital Filing System.

With NeatReceipts you have to have it connected to a computer. I'm not sure about NeatDesk but wow that would be a sweet feature!

Not sure about the desktop model, but the portable model has to be connected to the computer in order to work as it is powered by the USB cable.

Neat receipts must be connected to computer via USB. Cannot answer regarding Neat Desk.

The answer to your question is No. Your Scans are saved as PDF or JPG on to a Scan Disc then transferred to your Computer. You then name or Label the PDF/ JPG.Items can then be sorted inside the folder as you would any collection of files.You might be able to scan Business Cards (if you're clever) but I think a Plastic DL would be too thick, and the slick surface would give you trouble.

Don't think there is a way to upload or delete files without using software that comes with your device or some other.

You can't (unless the things you want to scan all fit on the scanner at once). HP might have a document loadder that you could buy as an add on.

I had the same problem. They said go into REG EDIT and delete anything in the registry to do with Neat. That worked as far as installing the program so I could open it on my screen. But the scanner itself hasn't worked yet. It's telling me no drivers loaded. That's where I am right now. I've been messing with this for almost a week now! I really wanted this...was all excited to ditch tons of paper. Now I'm pretty much ready to give up and return it.

I place multiple documents in the upper level tray and then hit scan. It should save them as a collective file within your computer.

The simple answer is yes, Neat desk can scan photos. The scanner is fast and will work with other software such as Paperport. But the Neat software is tailored more for a financial mission and the scanner does not have a guide for all paper sizes.

Not that I know about, but if you have a Mac you can use "image capture" to scan. It comes with the OS. Maybe Windows has something similar.

Is it necessary to have a computer if you have one of these scanners? What is the purpose?

Use an external HD... If you want your apps an data you can use PCmover. But PC mover is not perfect.

Me too! I'm not going to seriously consider purchasing anything computer related unless I see the manual that goes with it. Is it (i.e., Canvio) truly plug and play? Can you selectively choose individual files to back up? I'm not at all interested in wasting time and space backing up files that I really don't wish to back up. (I only wish to back up photographs.) Filtering through all the comments, while helpful writ large, takes a lot of time when looking for particular information. A manual please.

Apologies for the lateness of this answer, but I finally scanned something and tried to view the scan via USB. Yep, you can do it just fine without having to remove the card. Just looked at the recipe I scanned (for Shrimp Pizza, which really is a dip and not an actual pizza!) from my hometown newspaper and it looked great.

I'm not familiar with the neat scanner, I do not use quickbooks, and I also do not use Windows 8. If you can upload PDFs to quickbooks then you should be able to upload PDFs scanned by this scanner. I used this scanner with Windows XP. Regarding using it on Windows 8, I would go onto the Fujitsu website to see if they say if the drivers they have for this scanner work with WIndows 8.

Yes, you certainly can. It is not a direct nor intuitive process. In fact, you have to save the scanned item, export it to a file in PDF or Image format, then use your email software to pick up the item and send it along. This is a big shortcoming. Having developed software for quite some time, this is a rather easy function to create within the application and it surprised me that it doesn't offer the feature. There is another optional service NeatCloud which allows you to use the cloud to share the document with a number of other services (e.g. Dropbox, EverNote, etc.) This service ranges in price for the type of services desired.

This comes with everything I needed, including the scanning software, and with Adobe PDF OCR (character recognition). So I store all my scans as a PDF and organize them in my own directory structure (for example, 2013 receipts). I found this to be the best solution. I also own a Neat Receipts scanner, but their scanner only works with their software and their scanning software doesn't reduce the scanned file size very well, and is much slower than this scanner. So with Neat Receipts you can't incorporate multiple scanning devices, and utilize Dropbox if you scan some items with your cell phone, etc. I hope this helps with your decision.

You can scan from the printer but it has to go somewhere. The somewhere can be an email or the computer.I bought this for my sister in law and set it up in her office. It took a little computer/internet understanding for me to set up but she has none and yet has been using it for about a year now without problems
