Portable duplex capture with battery power and microSD storage
600dpi opticalSingle-sheet duplexRechargeable batteryWi-Fi scan access
The Avision MetaMobile 20 is a compact A4 document scanner for capturing pages away from a desk. Feed one sheet at a time, scan both sides and save JPEG or PDF files to a compatible microSD card. A supplied rechargeable battery powers scanning, while USB 2.0 and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi provide ways to access saved images. The manufacturer rates A4 simplex capture at eight seconds per page at 300dpi.
Best For: Mobile staff capturing receipts, documents, photographs and supported plastic cards one at a time, with later transfer to a computer or mobile device.
Before you order: A compatible microSD card is required for standalone storage and is not listed in the supplied box contents. Install and charge the supplied battery before use. Wi-Fi browser access retrieves stored scans; PaperAir OCR and email/cloud workflows use a compatible configured computer and relevant accounts.
