    I just purchased the View Point Magic Wand Model pds-st415vps hand scanner. I am having so much fun with it. It's extremely easy to set up and use. I scanned about 10 documents and had them up on the computer in less than 10 minutes. It's very light weight. No problem with fuzzy copies. Only got one red light warning me that the scan wasn't working because the picture I was copying slid a little. The copies are actually better than the originals because they can be enlarged so you can read them better once you get them on the computer. I was debating between the flip pal scanner and one like this. I chose this one because it scans an entire 8 1/2" x 10" paper instead of my having to piece them together from four pieces. (Also it was readily available at Staples). This one won't be any good if I were to need to scan something that was not flat, like jewelry for example. For my needs (genealogy photos and documents)this one is perfect.

    The idea behind a portable hand scanner is great, but the execution of this specific one is poor. In the first place, it doesn't have the option of scanning direct from the wand to the computer while plugged into the USB Port. You are ONLY allowed to scan to a MicroSDHC card, and it is that card that is the major problem with this scanner. I purchased a 32 GB card, and the wand formatted it quickly, and yet the Computer could locate the card, and recognized it as a Drive, but could not read that drive and report on the contents – even that it was a clean drive that is empty. Further, I tried scanning with it several times, following the directions, and found nothing on the card when the scan was finished. Each time I did a scan, I followed up by trying to transfer the file to my computer. No luck at all. Finally, I found that the SDHC Card heated up while the unit was plugged into the USB Port, and I knew that that was never a good sign for Removable Media.

    The bottom line is that the unit is poorly designed, and depends too much on storage technology that is too flimsy, and certainly isn't Plug and Play. The SD Card is about the size of a small fingernail, and needs an adaptor in order to be read or written to by a Card Reader. I certainly don't recommend it for anyone who is NOT a Techno Geek.

        Comments about Vupoint Solutions VuPoint Magic Wand Portable Scanner, Black:

        Haven't used it a whole lot, but when I have used it, things have turned out okay. It took a a little playing around with to make sure I knew what I was doing. I'm sure there are plenty other things to which I haven't discovered yet. Looking forward to going to a library, courthouse, relatives, or other places to scan documents or pictures. So much easier to draga along than the flatbed scanner although I would still use the flatbed to scan old pictures with. I had some reciepts and papers to scan a few days ago while we were on the road. We decided to go into a restaurant so I took the wand with me and took care of that while waiting for our food.

            I love this scanner. It's easy to use & does a great job scanning pictures. I needed some pictures to create a photo book for my parent's 50th Anniversary so I went to their house while they were out & scanned several wedding & old family photos. It worked perfect, resolution was great & my parents were so surprised by the gift. A light flashes if the scan did work...but I wish I had the new one with the LCD screen so I could see how the scan came out immediately (I'm purchasing that one for my mom!)

                • A:

                  Here is the information to reset the time/date:
                  Time setting
                  1. Press [TIME SET] button to enter time setting mode by using a thin, blunt object, such
                  as a paperclip to access the button. The LCD screen will read “1##” (step 1) for the year.
                  “##” is a set of number that would be changed to correspond to the actual time/date
                  setting. The numbers 1-5 in front of “##” indicates each step in the settings.
                  2. Press the [STITCH FILE] or [DPI] buttons to select the current Year.
                  3. Press [SCAN] button to confirm setting. The LCD screen will now read “2##.”
                  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to select the Month, Date, Hour, and Minute.
                  Indicator Setting

                  No, you can not print from the VuPoint Magic Wand Portable Scanner. In order to view your scans, you must connect the scanner to your computer.

                  I am not sure what you mean by print. The scan is saved to an SD card, that you can then place either in a PC/Laptop slot, or as you may have intended, to an SD Slot on a printer (bypassing a PC). This should work as the scanner saves to the card in JPG/PDF.

              • Q:

                Before buying a wand. Do you have to pass over the image at a consistent and smooth pass? Or will you get a false (blurred) image, if you can't slide the wand in one single consistent speed? Older arms don't always work like we want them to. :)

                  To scan, hold the document firmly with one hand on a flat surface. You will want to slide the scanner slowly, keeping your hand stable to get the best quality picture. Make sure to keep the scanning area in between the scanning width indicators marked on the side of the scanner.

                  Upon further research it does appear that you would only be able to scan to a JPG file but you would be able to convert that file to a PDF file once it has been loaded onto your computer.

              • Q:

                To operate this product do you have to feed paper through an area like other mobile scanners or do you somehow 'wand' this scanner over the flat item?

                  You would lay the paper flat and move the wand over the paper. The paper cannot be fed through this scanner.
