Does it run on batteries

Yes, has a lithium battery pack probably runs a couple of hours, when I have a long project I plug it in. Takes about 1 1/2 to fully recharge, has a battery saving mode when not used for probably 5 min goes into sleep mode. This is a great little printer,copier and scanner, has become an essential on the road

It has a rechargeable battery as well as the standard AC adapter. Side note: You *may* need to purchase a USB printer cable if you have Windows 8... installation for that OS is tricky. :-P

Yes. It has a battery and I have used it both ways which is the reason I bought it. If I need to use it without electricity I can just as well.

Yes, it runs on a battery. Even now, completely unplugged, I can press the time button and the time comes up. (It comes up almost ten minutes fast, suggesting the internal clock is crap, but that's a whole other issue and is not surprising as it's a cheap piece of kit.)

It runs on either 12v power or 4 C batteries. I keep batteries in it but when you plug it in it uses 12v power

It runs only on batteries, which I have not had to replace since owning it, 9/2013.

No it does not run on batteries. It has to be connected to an ipod cord or dock.

Runs on batteries. But I wouldn't worry too much. I've used it six months and have not had to replace them yet. It's only on momentarily.

yes. I don't have it in front of me right now but it uses the small ones, like AA or AAA. I don't think it came with batteries, but it does require them.

I didn't look to see if it ran with batteries. It would be impractical. Get a electrical cord long enough for whatever you plan to use it for.

Yes it uses batteries or you can plug it in (if you get all that come with it.) see the other reviews. I was apparently lucky to get both lol

No cannot be run on batteries. Yes, small enough I consider a good portable.

No, it does not use batteries which makes it perfect. It's plug in... Love this machine....

No, it only runs on battery. The battery lasts a month or more depending on use, so not a big deal.

No. If I remember correctly, it runs on either AA or AAA batteries. The only way it is "rechargeable" is if you have rechargeable batteries and recharge those

Yes it does. Also has an A/C adapter but can run off batteries if you want it to.

Yes. It runs on a built in rechargeable battery and can be used corded or cordless.
