Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Fujitsu Laptop Battery
One thing that struck me when I covered Consumer Electronics Week back in June was the amount of paper still being passed around. 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. 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.
This is precisely where portable document scanners can come in handy. 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. 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. You can turn this battery such as Fujitsu FPCBP177 Battery , Fujitsu FPCBP179 Battery , Fujitsu LifeBook S7210 Battery , Fujitsu BTP-C0K8 Battery , Fujitsu Esprimo Mobile V6505 Battery , Fujitsu FPCBP79 Battery , Fujitsu FPCBP78 Battery , Fujitsu FPCBP225 Battery , Fujitsu FPCBP226 Battery , Fujitsu FPCBP227 Battery , Fujitsu FPCBP230 Battery , Fujitsu FPCBP88 Battery -powered scanner on, feed a few documents in it, and turn it off. 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. Doxie sent us one of these scanners for review—let’s see how it works.
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. Like the scanners in these competing products, the Doxie Go’s maximum resolution is 600 dpi, but it usually defaults to 300 dpi. 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. 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.
The Go includes about 512MB of internal memory, which the company claims will hold about 600 documents or 2400 photos scanned at 300 dpi. This storage is expandable using either the unit’s SD card slot or its USB port—when extra storage is inserted, the scanner will automatically save scans to the external media rather than its internal memory. Both SD cards and USB sticks must be FAT formatted to work with the scanner.
The scanner’s internal battery, good for about 100 scans at 300 dpi, can be charged using either the provided mini USB cable or a $10 international power adapter. It takes around two hours to get a full charge. The mini USB port is also used to transfer scans from the Go’s internal memory to your computer using either a photo importing application like the Windows Photo Viewer or iPhoto, or the included Doxie software that we’ll talk about more later.
