This item weighs less then one pound and is smaller then a soda can. It is silver in color and looks exactly like a ruler/whole puncher you would put inside of a binder. It is a mobile scanner which means it can either reside on your desk or easily move around with you. The best part about portable scanners is you can take them anywhere with you. It does not require a power plug, but rather uses a USB to connect to PC’s or laptops. This item is very simple to use and only has two scanning buttons. There is a regular scan button which scans and transfers items into JPEG, PCX, TIF and BMP. The scan button is more for documents with images or just simply photos, while the other button is more custom. The second button enables transfer of files into Microsoft Word, RFT and HTML format. An excellent feature of the M12 is that you can mount it on your wall! This is a feature that most scanners do not have. Although you do not have to choose this way of presenting the item, you can also simply place it on your desk. OpticSlim scans at 600 dpi resolution. This is lower than other non-portable scanners but is not considered average for portable ones. You can adjust this feature to your liking to increase scanning time. The above is resolution is recommended when scanning photos. This product comes with a carry bag and a desk stand. This provides easy set up and quick pack up for those on the go.
