Rating: - No-go for Mac
I was assured that this scanner would work easily with the Mac. It did not. Defaults were impossible to change. Sometimes, the desktop image would not appear and the computer has to be re-booted in order for the scanner to work. There was no proper software for the scanner to work with the Mac and the technician apologized and admitted that they are not up-to-date in servicing Macintosh computers.

Saw it at the Dr's office and told myself I need to get that. It works wonders with scanning directly into a file. I really like it.
Rating: - Scanner not as stellar as reviews
I purchased Pentax scanners for my employees to submit their commercial building surveys while in the field. This type of scanner is not adequate for 30-40 pages at a time. It should be used for scanning items that are much shorter in length. My employees have been having problems with the scans being light colored and can't seem to get the software to work correctly to make a pdf file that opens at the correct scale on my end. At any rate, it's fine for short scans and technically savvy end-users, but is not a miracle product.
Rating: - Works as advertised
I use this product to scan receipts while I travel. It works flawlessly and fits easily into my computer bag.
Rating: - Perfect for traveling
The Pentax DSmobile 600 scanner is perfect for traveling. The scanner packed neatly in my laptop bag. Since it does not have it's own power cord, there was one less cord to pack and untangle. I used it recently when visiting my mother to help her organize her paperwork. I was able to scan birth certificates and other important papers for safe keeping. The only disappointment was scanned pictures are not in color.
