User questions & answers

Question:	Is it compatible with Windows
Answer:	This is a case. Scanner sold separately.
Question:	Does it alllow you to make folders and save documents on your computer to keep it all organized
Answer:	This item is simply a hard-shell case for the Epson WorkForce Scanner; the scanner itself is sold separately. (When I purchased the scanner, it only came with a soft case, which didn't protect it well enough for travel.) To answer your question, yes, you can scan an 8.5" x 11" piece of paper with the scanner.
Question:	where are the linux drivers
Answer:	The case is zippered and it measures 11 inches long x 2 1/4 inches wide on the right side. I have a Epson DS-30 portable scanner and it fits perfectly. On the left inside it measures the same, but there is a netted pocket that stores the USB cord to the scanner. If you use your scanner on the go like I do, I would definitely recommend this case, its durable & sturdy. The felt bag that came with the scanner is just a dust cover as far as I'm concerned. Hope this helps.
Question:	Is this battery-powered
Answer:	The case does not have a port, just the scanner itself.

Question:	Does this scan photo's? i have a lot of photo's to scan. if so, is it 600 dpi? does it crop? so many questions
Answer:	It has 600dpi option. However, there are scanners that have 1200dpi out there, 600dpi is pretty good but not perfect, but it could be good enough for you. There is an auto-cropping functionality, so it will crop the scan to just the size of the image. However, there could be situations that this feature doesn't work super well such as cropping too much or too less when the photo is a little bit tilted. Overall, if you have a LOT of photos, this can be used for quick backing up purpose.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work with iPrint&Scan
Answer:	The ADS-1250W does use the iPrint&Scan application.
Question:	Does the software enable scanning business cards into a contacts app
Answer:	The ADS-1250W Scanner does not have any OCR Card Scanning Software in the box.
Question:	This one is $70 cheaper than the AD-1700 which seems the only difference is the screen on the front. Can anyone tell me a benefit of spending extra
Answer:	I wasn't able to get this model to connect to my wifi, maybe a bug with the software. Gave up after 1.5 hrs, sent it back and got the AD-1700. Connected to my wifi in 5 minutes using the LCD menus--way easier.
Question:	Would this be a good quality photo scanner, including older photos
Answer:	Generally, you're going to want a flatbed scanner for photos. If you only have a few heirloom photos to scan, I would personally take them to a place that specializes in photo scanning, and not bother with owning my own flatbed scanner. It's kind of like photo printing; you don't need to own your own dedicated photo-quality printer when the Staples up the street would do a better job for less price.

User questions & answers

Question:	How well does this scan photographs - including older photos
Answer:	I have used it to scan old family photographs and it does extremely well! Make certain to have the setting to 600dpi for the best results.
Question:	How is it powered
Answer:	Battery powered which is charged via a regular phone charger
Question:	Has anyone tried charging this from a USB adapted plug to AC outlet? What did you use? Thank you
Answer:	Yes, I used my kindle hd a/c adapter as well as my nokia cellphone a/c adapter, both worked just fine. I've even charged with the same USB cables in my 12 volt charger in my vehicle. Of course with an usb adapter for the 12 volt.
Question:	Can I scan old photos with it
Answer:	Yes, you can scan old photos with it provided they fit the width. It's not the best for the purpose but certainly better than not scanning old photos at all. If the surfaces are slippery you may need to give the photo a gentle push through it as the rollers pull it through. You can even scan photos ripped completely in two by feeding both parts in simultaneously. The problem with faded photos is that this scanner doesn't have a high dynamic range. So when you pull the resulting scan into your photo editor for optimization ("un-fading") you might get some banding and noise. But if the photos are not faded then it works reasonably well. A flatbed scanner will sometimes be rated as 12 bits per pixel; this portable scanner isn't rated but cannot be more than 8 because that is the dynamic range of JPEG. For instance, suppose your entire photo was faded such that the darkest part was a light grey. In 8 bit you have values 0 through 255; light grey is 16 lets say. You can optimize, spread it out to black and white but you still have only 16 values and it is going to look banded and posterized. But if you have 4096 values between white and black, and your faded photo is using only 256, well then when you save it as a JPEG or GIF it will have the full entire range possible with JPEG and the un-faded photo will usually look great without banding. A good camera also works. I shoot old photos with a high-dynamic range camera and macro lens (Nikon D700 works exceptionally well for this purpose), it offers an astonishing 14 bits per pixel and is also a whole lot faster than a scanner and eliminates having to unmount the photos. But several thousand dollars for a suitable camera versus less than $200 for a reasonably good scanner, well, I take my little scanner everywhere I go and use it pretty much every day. The USB socket is broken so I charge my battery on a power supply and use the SD memory card to transfer scans to my computer but it still works and it is pretty good. It is pretty good for a related project, scanning your old magazines that have articles worth keeping but you don't want all that paper. Just cut out the articles and feed it through the scanner. Since it captures front and back, it is fast and easy.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it come with usb cord
Answer:	WhizRider is classified as a harness child restraint system and tested in accordance with FMVSS213 standards. That said it's a legal device in CT.
Question:	compatible with OS 10.15.6 or later on Mac
Answer:	First note: I own neither the RideSafer vest nor the WhizRider portable vest. However, in my research, this WhizRider does not have a harness that ties the vest down on the opposite side of the shoulder strap, whereas the Ride Safer vest at least provides for that, thus making it closer to a "5-point" harness safety system. Simply put, the WhizRider seems to be a vest-version of a seat-belt positioning device.
Question:	Do I need a laptop to scan documents
Answer:	It’s a vet with straps that fasten around the waist and between the legs. It also has metal clips for the seat belt to be threaded through to secure your child in the car with your booster seat in place.
Question:	Will this work on a chromebook
Answer:	Hi. The WhizRider vest is made of a water repellent material for easy cleaning. Wash with a wet cloth and mild soap. Do not use fabric softener and do not machine wash. Air dry. Do not tumble dry. Dani
