Amazon.com Product Description
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.

 Mac and DSmobile 600 Scanner definate compatible November 22, 2008
If you have a mac go to http://www.lemkesoft.com/ and download graphic converter for FREE. After you have downloaded it drag and place in the applications folder. Then calibrate the scanner by clicking on capture image which is in your applications folder already. There just follow instructions for calibration. after that you should be set up. The only button on the scanner is of no use to us MAC users. everything will be done with and on your computer. The image is perfect, if its a hand written note you want to scan just make sure you write dark and clearly. Other than that I highly recommend it.
 Good small scanner, creates great PDF files. November 13, 2008
Pros: only requires USB cable, no power cable needed. 600dpi setting can be set and it remembers it next time you launch the application. One-time Installation and calibration was easy. Image is displayed as it scans the paper. PDF file created is automatically opened in default application after scan is finished. Quality of scan in PDF file is great. I have not tried other file type outputs.
Cons: File created is saved using a default filename in one particular directory. You can change the filename and directory prior to scanning, but if you close the application, it uses the old default filename/directory names again.
Doesn't work on Vista 64 Bit November 13, 2008
I jumped the gun on this. I bought it because I saw it's compatible on Vista, but it's not compatible on the 64 bit platform.
I asked the customer service rep at Pentax about this and was told they have no plans on supporting the 64 bit platform.
Otherwise, it worked great when I use to have XP :(
Traveling Business Man with lots of receipts October 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this scanner in early August. It was delivered the next day even though I ordered it in the afternoon PST (from Vegas). I needed a simple accurate scanner for invoices, receipts, documents, etc. while I am traveling. This scanner took only a few minutes to setup and works great. I can select the scan size which really works well. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the scanner automatically created multiple page PDF documents (multiple receipts scanned into one document). The scanner fits easily into my PC case and only takes a minute (literally) to hook up to my PC and scan receipts and other documents. It even works great on light printing, i.e.,gas station receipts. Highly recommended t all people who travel and need a portable scanner.
scanning my recipes October 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After 30+ years of collecting recipes and never knowing exactly what is where, I decided to scan them into a computer folder, by category, and always have them at my fingertips! This little scanner is exactly what I wanted and is doing a marvelous job. Only problem I'm having with it is changing the size of the item scanned - so I scan everything in a carrier, one size - and it works out fine. Very happy.
