I see an AC Adapter among the pictures... what is it needed for? Does the scanner need to be plugged? Or does it use batteries?

It uses AA batteries as a hand held unit. The adapter is used when the scanner is inserted in the motorized adapter and it detects and draws the paper through the assembly. This unit works as a hand unit to scan pages in a book or as a auto feed single page. In hand held mode the AA batteries power the scanner and you get 20 or so pages to the two batteries. The scanner clips into the motorized adapter via a quick release. This unit is a smart buy, everyone I know who has bought one says its a great value!

Hi, The wand is powered by 2 AA batteries and the cord powers the deck. Take care though, the wand works, but I have gotten the deck to operate once and once only. Be aware also that the Pandigital Co. is out of business and there is no recourse if yours won't work either.Good luck!

Both. The batteries make it portable, but you can use the adapter if you don't want to drain the batteries.

I don't own the unit yet however yes this does require an AC adapter. It looks to be on the front of the unit in the bottom left corner (look at the 3rd picture you can see it).

Not sure how to answer your question... the unit comes with a standard power supply cord that plugs into the scanner. I believe it comes with the 110V standard USA rating. Sorry hope this helps... Its a great unit already scanned over 2600 pictures and still have room on the memory card. The unit has already paid for itself.... in the cost of sending out pictures to be scannned.

The adapter I have is AC powered and not battery operated. I don't understand the question: "without AC adapter..." and "rather than battery operated." If it is not powered by AC or a battery, how is it supposed to be powered. This unit plugs into an earphone receptacle on the computer. These ports don't supply power like a USB port does. I don't think my answer helps much.

It's already calibrated by the manufacture. You can verify. It does not need an AC adapter. It only uses AA batteries which comes in the box.

It´s not need to plug into the camera. You must use the piece seem as a battery and put inside the batteries place on the camera. Then, through a hole with a plastic cover pass the cable and plug this one with the AC transformer. It works perfectly.

I has to be plugged in. I was not very happy with this scanner. It has to be cleaned constantly to prevent the little white lines that appear on the scans. I just bought a Doxie scanner.

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

There is a power/usb cord - when using the scanner without the dock you can use it with the scanner or if you have the scanner in the dock you use it with the dock and it keeps the scanner charged. It does work out of the dock for a long time on battery power.

The scanner has the ability to be powered in more ways than one. I can only assume at the moment that you rely on the power directly from the connection to the car via the cable and plug in adapter. Have you tried to power it using the Power Adapter supplied with the scanner? Give it a try if you have not already. Obviously, if it still does not work you will need to contact the supplier and return it for an exchange.

It has a cord that you just plug into the scanner and your USB port on your computer unless you have a plug adapter for a USB cord. It takes playing with it a little to figure out how to use it but it is very easy to use. I love it.,

It has inbuilt battery which needs to be charged on regular Mobile phone charger or through data cable connected to laptop.Once charged, it will work for around 200 to 300 scans.

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!

Mine came with the AC adapter. It comes with it. It uses also, six C batteries,a option, instead of the adapter, get some if it might not have the adapter.
