If the scanner does not ship with a power cable is it because it can recharge through the USB connection?

We have had no need of the power cable. I believe you are correct and the stand charges through the USB connection. The handset charges when placed on the scanner.

Yes, it charges from the usb port. I wish it did come with a power adapter, I wish it did come with one, none of the adapters I have fit it.

It will charge by plugging in the printers power cable. The battery screws on and never need to take it off

The DS-620 scanner is powered by the USB connection of the computer used when scanning.

It uses the AC adapter to plug into the wall for power. The USB is to connect to your PC to communicate with the scanner. Although this is a "wireless" scanner, I have a desktop computer that doesn't seem to allow the scanner to work without being connected via the USB. It is my understanding that a laptop is able to work better wireless, thus being able to place your scanner in another area of your work space and without connecting the USB plug into your laptop. You will still need to plug in the AC adapter for power. I will say that this scanner, using 300 X 300 dpi in the custom settings, scans VERY fast!

You can scan without the USB cable which is not supplied with the printer. I find having the cable attached makes things a bit more efficient but not a requirement. I suggest setting the printer up without cable and testing. If you desire to use cable after this they are readily available on Amazon or most retail electronics stores.

This printer has both a USB connection and scans. The USB connection is beneath a flap on the top of the printer (as I recall), and the scanning is mediated by the Control Center utility program. I have never used the USB connection on my printer, though my daughter routinely uses her's. The scanning is great.

i do not know. i used the disc that came with and could not get it work on either of my computers. I tried the online software and could not get it to work either. I was able to see the scanners control panel but the controls would not respond. I did not bother to research because my problem may have been the pin cord, I bought a cheap one. my recommendation is to use the high dollar pin connector to usb. Radio shack has one for around 60 bucks

There's a standard USB socket on the tail end of the scanner. You can fit your own cables to this socket. None are provided with the scanner.

When you connect the scanner to a pc with usb cable or connect to a ac wall charger that has the usb connector you will see a red light on the scanner. As long as you do not turn the scanner on it is charging and the light will turn green when it is charged. It takes a couple of hours to charge.

There is one cable that plugs into the charging dock. That will go to the computer so that the scanner can connect to the computer.

Hello Elise, this usually means that the USB cable is plugged in, but the power cord is not. Once that is confirmed you will also need to make sure that the printer is loaded with receipt paper and the cover is closed.

It has an internal battery and works without any cords It charges via supplied USB cable ... either from computer port or from common USB adapter that plugs into your power grid (I use a 110/USB adapter). Files saved to Micro-SD card .. can either be read right from the device via the supplied USB cable or by placing micro-SD card into external card reader. I am very pleased with the scanner .. can do things that the flat bed scanner cannot do and I can carry it with me where ever I go.

It has rechargeable ability. You can take it with you and use it free from the charging unit to scan but it needs to be plugged in to transfer to your computer.

I don't believe it does as the whole principal of the scanner is that you plug it into the USB slot on your computer for both data entry and power.

Tony: I have only used the scanner with a USB connection with my Mac, however, I don't think it has bluetooth capabilities as there is no other connection available. I am not familiar with Scan Power software so I can't help you there. Sorry.

No, you need an SD card to do the transfer. The USB port is only to power the scanner.
