Does it require batteries? Does it have to stay attched to anything while scanning?

It does not require batteries, but does have to be attached to a USB port. This company offers a different version which is what you are looking for.

A Micro SD card and of course batteries. You can download directly from the scanner to your computer with the included cable so you have everything you need.

Alas, the scanner is an input device you need it connected to a computer to function. It's the application (scansnap manager and/or Adobe acrobat) that are the brains of the operation, the scanner is the work-horse. The scanner has no ability to somehow store data on itself. No magic wands, no hocus-pocus, this is simply a scanner.

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.,

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.

It does scan mounted slides beautifully. I just got this scanner yesterday and have been busy scanning years old family slides. All of mine are mounted in cardboard frames. A very slight learning curve to scan slides (or else I had my stupid hat on yesterday) but I'm happy with my results so far.

The scanner does not require wifi. You can plug it into a computer using USB or use a USB stick

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.

3 AA batteries. It comes with an AC power adapter/charger and it will work with the adapter/charger providing the power, thereby saving the batteries. However, it will not charge unless the scanner is turned off. It's best to use rechargeable batteries, and to buy an extra set and a separate battery charger. That way, when the batteries get low, you can swap them out and charge the ones that had been in the scanner.

You can scan pretty much anything, but you need to be sure that the scanned object is firmly placed and immovable.

It doesn't need batteries. Mine too inexplicably stopped working after a short while. I had to return it.

No, it only scans on the top, flatbed feeder. I have a Fujitsu Scansnap that does an excellent job of continuous feed scanning.

No it doesn't. You need a scanner that has a back-light. Epson and others make that kind of scanner.

Yes, it has very small wheels to help the scanning, but I don't know if the wheels are helpful (too small)

It can scan by passover or pass through. We did not have much luck at getting it to work, but I am sure it was something we were doing wrong in following the instructions. We are not very technically inclined.
