Scanning to USB

| 1 | Can anyone recommend a scanner to scan hundreds of photos directly to a USB flash drive please. Can't afford to spend hundreds of dollars. coolnzmum - 2019-09-28 08:37:00 |
| 2 | Interesting question, I hope you find an answer. My friend has a standalone printer/scanner and he can scan direct to USB with no computer attached, but it was expensive. I just looked at settings for my el cheap canon pixma printer and it can only save to the computer. Is there some issue with saving to your computer then transferring to usb, or are you wanting to travel with a scanner only? catsmeat1 - 2019-09-28 09:39:00 |
| 3 | harvey norman often have multifunctions going cheap, no sure if you can save straight to a USB though, makes sense to save to cloud on your computer and also save to a USB stick in case you ever lose the USB stick at the moment they have this which is a good buy and ends on Monday....

| 4 | Where will you store them after that? USB flash drives are not a satisfactory long term storage medium. morticia - 2019-09-28 10:07:00 |
| 5 | Did discover our multi function did. Easy to save to USB with no computer connection as we can set up printer where ever we want. Will be transferring to a computer as well as stand alone hard drive. USB can be used in smart TV and digital photo frame. We have probably 3000 odd photos to scan at a guess. coolnzmum - 2019-09-30 12:26:00 |
| 6 | Now we need a good program so we can store notes attached to photos. coolnzmum - 2019-09-30 12:27:00 |

| 8 | Why not just scan to HDD (default). Easy to select 100 photos or so at a time, and copy-paste to usb. Use notepad to write text and save same as photo name. hammerman1 - 2019-09-30 14:24:00 |
