PlanOn DocuPen X05

 

This tiny device allows professionals to scan on the go, beaming their data to smart phones or laptops.

Slim, lightweight design ; Bluetooth connection is easy to enable ; Compatible with BlackBerrys and Macs ; Charges via USB ; microSD Card slot included

Incapable of scanning multiple pages or cards in one fell swoop ; Somewhat confusing interface ; Difficult to share data with smart phones

The stylus-shaped design of the s far lighter than other mobile scanners, and frees road warriors from superfluous cables and AC adapters. We especially like the ability to send scans to BlackBerry devices over Bluetooth. For power users, this device...

Planon DocuPen X05 portable scanner review

 

Scanners, unsurprisingly, lag behind other areas of consumer electronics when it comes to raw appeal, but if you're determined to grab attention then Planon's DocuPen X05 isn't a bad place to start. A slender, battery powered scanning wand, the X05...

Unfortunately, at that point the $369.99 price is a whole lot more difficult to stomach. Planon’s target market is always going to be small – not a lot of people really need a portable, battery powered scanner with wireless connectivity – but that...

Getting Good Scans

I recently got my DocuPen. I was extremely impressed with it. It clearly outshines any of those line-by-line scanners such as Wizcom, C-Pen, etc. The technology is simply mind boggling, the way they cram all that impressive technology into one small...

This product works great for Me

I recently purchased the DocuPen and the product has been fine for me. It connected perfectly fine with Windows XP and to my other computer systems such as Win 98 and Win 2000. For some people I know that if a product does not work, it may be in part...

Product Specifications

Planon DocuPen is a handheld scanner that operates on batteries for full portability purposes. The DocuPen is capable of storing up to 100 pages into memory and takes approximately 4 to 8 seconds per second. The DocuPen is different from other pen scanners in that it scans a full page width and therefore scans the entire page including text and graphics in just 4 seconds. Other handheld and pen scanners only scan single lines of text or records handwriting and cannot scan graphics making them much less practical. In comparison, the DocuPen is truly a breakthrough in technological development because it fully realizes the potential of what other pen size scanners tried to accomplish. The need for convenient out of office scanning is enormous but has not been satisfied because the products to date did not fulfill that need adequately. As the fax evolved from the telex, to successfully satisfy its communication need, the DocuPen is the practical solution to the pen scanners finally opening the market for wide spread acceptance.
