The scanning is all done by the S8X1100 itself, with the scans sent to memory, not to programs. Installing each program is easy enough you don't actually have to install any software. If you explore the disc, you'll find the document management program NewSoft Presto! PageManager 9, the photo editor Magix Photo Designer 7, and Magix Video Easy SE, which lets you convert scans into a video. It actually takes a touch more work than with most scanners, because you have to find each program on the disc and install it separately, instead of relying on an automatic installation program. Installing the software that comes with the scanner is only a little harder. Just connect the scanner by the supplied USB cable to a USB port or to the supplied power block plugged into a power outlet. There's basically no physical setup needed.

All you have to do is go to the folder with the scans, using Windows Explorer or another program, and open the file to see the scan.īasics and Setup The S8X1100 is small enough to fit easily in your laptop bag, at 1.4 by 11.4 by 2 inches (HWD) and it weighs only about 13 ounces.

Your computer will see the memory in the scanner as a USB drive. One advantage the S8X1100 offers over most computer-free scanners is that if you're plugged into a USB port for power, you can also easily check the scan quality anytime during a session.
