As stated on fujitsu website, the S1100 gets it's power from it's USB connection to a laptop.

It needs to be connected to computer USB port...no electrical plug or batteries.

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.

Greetings !! I have not installed or used this cable setup yet, but I bought it with the understanding that the two USB connectors on the 'Y' arm should each go into USB ports on the computer, in order to provide more currrent for whatever external device is ultimately attached to the single remaining USB. In my case, the plan was to power a late-model Canon LiDE flatbed scanner from my laptop; I read somewhere that the scanner could use the extra current, and that while it is possible to use the scanner with one (1) USB connector, two (2) power inputs would be better. That is all I can say for Now. All the best! Arnold Browne_Columbia Uiniv_NYC Greetings !!

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.

no. The business card scanner only needs to connect to a USB. It does not need any charger.

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.

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

Yes, cord is optional available at Radio Shack. Plugs into front of scanner.

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 is not battery powered it is mains AC ,I connect it via USB to to the 10w USB power adaptor that I use for my I- pad2. The adaptor is 100-240v - 0.45A. output of adaptor -5.1v @ 2.1A , this works very well. I have also connected it to my Acer notebook via USB and that also works very well (the USB connecting lead and a power adaptor are included with the scanner as a standard accessory).....hope this helps.

The monitor must be plugged in but the camera's themselves can be battery operated. I just never found the battery operation to last all that long so I plug it all in.

If you mean the scanner, it is powered from your car battery when you plug it into the OBD port. If it is not turning on, it is not getting power from the port or it has failed. You can try it on another car to see which.

I plug my scanner into my laptop with the 'mini' USB cord supplied with the unit. My laptop has shore power, so mine is 'travel-ready'. YMMV

It comes with a usb wall charger that plugs into the scanner so it can be used with or without a computer in order to scan.

No. Powered off USB plug. Great scanner, If doing hi-res work make sure to run the calibration procedure before you start- worth the extra minute!

This scanner works with your laptop via USB port power. The nice thing with this scanner is that it is small enough to put into your laptop case or briefcase and uses the power from the laptop USB plug. That's all need to make and keep a copy. You can also save the scanned copy into your laptop memory for future use. This scanner does both sides of the paper as well without having to turn over the paper.

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!
