Later, you’ll also be given the option to upload the photos to a number of online services, including Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, MobileMe (RIP), or an FTP server of your choice.

Do this, and then choose whether you want the images you can to come to your computer or your iOS or Android smartphone running the Eye-Fi app, and whether you want the scans sent to your online Eye-Fi account for access from the Internet.

Once the card is mounted, navigate to the “Start Here” folder and install the Eye-Fi software on your Mac or PC.Īfter installation, the software will make sure your computer’s firewall isn’t going to inhibit its operation, and then the Eye-Fi Center program will launch and prompt you to create a username and password. Either way, you’ll need to plug the card in to configure it before you can start using it. The Eye-Fi comes with a small USB card reader that can be used to read the card, but you can just as easily insert it into your computer’s integrated SD card slot if you’ve got one. Bundled accessories include a small implement for cleaning the scanner slot, a cloth bag, and a scanning sleeve into which you can place fragile or glossy photos before feeding them through the scanner. By my count, it takes about 8.5 seconds to make a 300 dpi scan of a standard 8.5” by 11” sheet of paper, and around 33 seconds to scan the same sheet at 600 dpi. Like the scanners in these competing products, the Doxie Go’s maximum resolution is 600 dpi, but it usually defaults to 300 dpi.

The $199 Doxie Go is a 10.5' x 1.7' x 2.2' piece of plastic that weighs a little less than a pound, similar in size and shape to other mobile document scanners like those in Fujitsu’s ScanSnap lineup or Brother’s DSmobile 600. Doxie sent us one of these scanners for review-let’s see how it works. The scans will be saved to either its internal memory or a connected SD card or USB stick, ready to be copied to your computer the next time you're at your desk. You can turn this battery-powered scanner on, feed a few documents in it, and turn it off.

#DOXIE SCANNER PORTABLE#

The concept of a small, portable document scanner you can connect to your computer isn’t new, but the Doxie Go makes it simpler by eschewing the computer. Stick a business card into one, and you’ll quickly have a digital copy that you can use to keep the stacks of paper at a manageable level. This is precisely where portable document scanners can come in handy. Cover a show for a couple of days and you end up with an unruly stack of paper you can barely jam into your laptop bag, and that's to say nothing of the business receipts that can pile up. For all of the tech-savvy people attracted by this exhibition, the most common way for vendors and journalists to swap information was by handing out pamphlets, spec sheets, and business cards. One thing that struck me when I covered Consumer Electronics Week back in June was the amount of paper still being passed around.
