| | Availability:
Usually ships in 1 business days | | | Weighing in at less than 12 ounces and measuring just 11 inches wide, the Pentax DSmobile lets you carry around all you need to scan everything from a business card to an 8.5 by 14 inch document. The scanner draws power from its USB interface so no clunky AC adapter is needed. Bring it along with you and you can instantly transmit a printed page via email, fax, or the web. The scanner has a hardware optical resolution of 300 dpi and the included OCR software automatically converts the document to editable text. The scanner uses a Contact Image Sensor (CIS) to achieve its smaller volume and lighter weight, and also requires less power consumption and lower maintenance than a traditional CCD. The DSmobile has few moving parts, which promotes high reliability and nearly maintenance-free operation. It consumes only 0.2 watt of power in standby mode and a maximum of 2.2 watts of power when scanning. The Pentax DSmobile 600 Scanner is compatible with Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. It is backed by a 1-year warranty. What's in the Box
DSmobile 600 scanner, leather case, 35-inch USB cable, user's manual, instllation guide, software CD, calibration card, and two 5x7-inch photo-scan sleeves. | | | |

 Great value, performance Aug 28, 2008
This scanner is definitely a price performer. There may be some things you'd wish for but remember, this is selling for under $130 so there's gonna be some compromises. For that price point, I think this might be a best value.
The things I like about it:
- very small form factor makes it easy to take along
- runs solely from a USB port - no external power supply
- simplicity
- quality of scans is great for documents
- speed of scans is good (not screaming fast, but good)
The things you may not like about it:
- the included software does the basics but not much else.
if you have other software (PaperPort, etc) you will be happy
- the resolution is not for high-res photo scanning. It does
a good job, but at 600 dpi it is what it is
- no sheet feeder. you have to feed documents one at a time
- single sided scan. you have to reverse and refeed doublesided docs
If the sheet feeder and doublesided scanning are a must-have, don't get this scanner. Get out your wallet and shell out the $300 for a SnapScan. If you can live without those things, you'll get a smaller form factor and save a couple hundred bucks.
 Bad QC from PENTAX, Good Customer Service from Amazon Aug 13, 2008
We received the product on time. Installed software and hooked up scanner, no joy. Scanner would not feed the paper into it at all. Called Amazon.com and they sent a replacement right away. Have not hooked up replacement yet.
I would not recommend buying this simply because you can get NO support from Pentax. Amazon. com has has been good, but Pentax support stinks.

 Does not work with Linux. Jul 26, 2008
The product description indicates that this scanner works with Linux. It doesn't at all and I can't find evidence that anyone is working on making it work. Don't buy it if you run Linux (any Linux). It even had some problems working in Windows XP.
 Awesome little scanner for when your in a pinch... Jul 18, 2008
I bought this scanner for traveling and work related scanning in teh field. As luck would have it I used it the day after I installed it on my computer. It functions well and the scan qulity is very good the only problem I have was getting a business card to feed straight but the software took care of that problem. It scanned the documents I needed and although it a little slow it works great. I am now free...I have a mobile office in my truck...great product, great price.
great product Jul 14, 2008
I have been using this product for the last several weeks and I have no complaints. The software is great and satisfies all my needs very well.
