Can you scan to a computer, or only to a card?

You can only scan to an SD cardIt's super easy. I did 1000 slides in 2 dayYou can edit in any photo program like Picasa

You can scan to a SDHC memory card or directly to your computer using a USB connection.

Only one page can be scanned at a time, and yes a photo i.d. should go through it just fine. I have scanned credit cards with it. I own this and I love it for running my business. It is easy to use and helps keep track of everything by allowing me to put it into a computer.

You can connect the scanner to your PC with the USB cable if you do not want to put into any battery. Thanks.

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

Hi Alfredo,It does connect to a computer via a USB port (Mini-B plug on the scanner), but it switches to SD card reader mode so that the SD card appears as a USB flash drive. There doesn't appear to be an option to scan directly into software running on a computer. The scanner has no problems scanning checks and is especially good at scanning long receipts that don't fit on a regular flatbed scanner.

Since Ford Man's answer was ambiguous, it does NOT need to be connected via USB to scan, and it CAN scan to any computer on the network so long as it has the software installed. Alternatively, you can scan to email, scan to a shared network folder, scan to a USB flash drive, or (I believe) scan to some Internet locations.

Yes, it can scan regular documents to email. But it will _not_ scan anything through the card slot to email. This is a software oversight on Brother's part.

Yes, when you scan documents, they can be sent directly to your desktop or laptop.

You can use any card, even a playing card. It is not an actual bar scanning device.

The software can be told to expect a one sided card or a two sided card. To scan a two sided card you scan one side then flip it over and scan the other and the software saves it as one image.

Yes. You can scan to pc, other devices, or directly scan from your printer touch screen.

It depends on how stiff the card actually is. If the cards can bend a little, then they can be scanned. If they're rigid, forget it. My current driver's license and health insurance card are too stiff for the scanner. Same with credit cards. My dental and car insurance cards are flexible enough to scan without problems. Business cards are generally OK. I have a laminated certification credential that likewise scans just fine. If a card is too stiff, the scanner can't scan it - the one major disappointment I have with this device. The mechanism seems as if it could unlatch to handle the stiffer items, but the software detects the unlatched condition as an error and won't perform the scan. In any case, I use the machine on a Mac and, despite the limitations, I love the thing.

No it scans to an SD card. But also you can connect the included USB cable and then the scanner shows up as a drive in computer and then you can copy all photos to computer.

Well, I always run it without the computer connected so yes, you can scan to an SD card, then move the card into your computer if it has a card reader built in - or you can connect a USB cable to your computer to transfer the pix.

Any SD or SDHC... You can also use a micro sd or mmc card, but you will need an SD interface adapter to use with the scanner as it will only accept SD cards. I only use Lexar media cards and have never had a problem using them with the scanner.

Yes. I can scan few pages and saved as a PDF file in my computer. It also includes an option to send as an email through the computer which I do not try.

Yes. It's available online if you cannot use the disk that cones with the scanner. But it is a plug n play device. If you don't have the software installed it automatically scans it as a photo. The problem is that you can't change it to a pdf or manipulate it in any way.
