About a year ago, I purchased a mobile scanner (Pentax DSmobile 600 Scanner).  It was prompted by a trip I took in December 2009.  It’s a great tool to use when on the go and certainly saves me from having to photocopy papers.  You can read more at my previous post, Another New Gadget – Mobile Scanner.

I never use it at home, as I have a flatbed scanner as part of my printer.  But there is a limitation with my flatbed scanner…I can’t scan legal-size documents in their entirety.  I’ve been debating how to digitize get my legal-size documents, thinking one day I would head to Kinko’s as they probably have a larger scanner.  The other day it occurred to me, why not use the portable scanner?  Paper is fed through the scanner, which can handle legal-size documents.  So that’s what I did today.  Only took me a year to figure this handy little tidbit out 😉
