Planon Systems Handheld Portable Scanner RC-800 \n \nGreat quality scans, when it doesn't shut off half-way across the page; difficult to keep straight, even with the little rollers, and hard to manage near tight bindings--probably easier on older,...

Handheld Portable Scanner

Seems like an awesome idea. Very small and portable. If you only have a page or two occasionally it would be OK, but much more than that use something else, though not sure what if you're traveling. \n \nTwo main problems. \n1) It keeps cutting off,...

This pen is very interesting, it has a great concept but it performs rather bad. The other reviewers were right in saying that this product fails in every aspect, its a great technical feat but it does not deliver. Some problems I found was when I was...

I work at the courthouse and their is a line for the copier. I am able to finish twice as much work as before with this pen. If you do not need to copy color pages then definately would get the black and white. It works great on low resolution. I am...

It works until the battery doesn't recharge anymore...

A very cool gadget, and no complaints about the scanning itself. Great images. Very true scanning, and easy to do. The unit I received was odd. The first issue was cosmetic quality control. There was surplus cellophane tape on the lens which I had to...

Product Specifications

The need for portable, out-of-office scanning is enormous! With up to 24-bit color scanning capability, the RC800 is capable of storing 100's of pages into memory. It scans a page in just a few seconds so there's no tedious stalling. Choose the mode you want to scan: black and white, standard color or high 24bit color and the resolution from 100 to 400 dpi. Now you can scan your letters, color documents, pictures and bring them into Paperport software (included with the Docupen). The DocuPen is different from other pen sized scanners in that it scans a FULL PAGE width and therefore scans the entire page including text and graphics in as little as 4 seconds. Other handheld and pen scanners only scan single lines of text or records handwriting and some scanners need to be attached to your computer whereas the Docupen overcomes these limitations. Using optical registration technology, the DocuPen RC800 can create a highly accurate scan using its optical timing and registration system
