Scanning should not require a scanner-shaped piece of furniture, and the DS-70 proves the point by fitting full document capture into a footprint smaller than a stapler. Fed by the USB cable alone, with no power brick to lose, it pulls documents through at up to 10 pages per minute in color at 600 dpi, turning receipts, contracts, IDs and business cards into organized digital files wherever the work happens. For the accountant at a client site, the agent in the field and the remote worker whose desk is a kitchen table, it is the scanner that finally travels.
