Portronics Scanny 7 Review

Gadgets

Nikhil Narkhede

November 26, 2014

Are you looking for a portable scanner where you don`t need to connect it to the computer. Yes it is possible with the Portronics Scanny Series. We had reviewed the Portronics Scanny 6. But now we have the latest Portronics Scanny 7. It is actually the successor of the Portronics Scanny 6. So what is unique about this scanner? Let us find out all the things which we experienced while using this scanner for a long period of time.

Portronics Scanny 7 Features

Design

The design of the device is modern. Though it does look like a big cuboid with a width of a bit more than of an A4 Page. The dimensions of the device are 28×4.5×3.8 cm. The weight of the device is 510 grams. The device is portable and designwise because of the display and the buttons there is a very good modern touch to the device. Overall it is like a block and it may happen a lot of times when your colleagues or your friends will ask you “What is this?”.

So by seeing the design it is difficult for the first time user to identify it as a scanner. The display of the scanner is 1.44 inch LCD. There are few physical buttons on the scanner. There is a Up and down arrow buttons. There are other buttons like the DPI and the file format change button.

The Accessories Provided with the scanner are an User Manual, USB Cable, Cleaning Cloth, CD and Pouch.

Performance

This is an advanced version of the Portronics Scanny 6. This scanner has an auto feeder. So it is very easy to scan the documents. So in the previous scanner the user had to calibrate the page and then the use has to scan the page manually by pressing the button and moving it down.

In this scanner the process is very simple. You just have to turn the scanner ON and then insert the page. You just have to keep the page slightly in the scanner. It automatically takes in the page in the scanner and the document starts scanning. Before using the scanner the user have to insert in a microSD of memory upto 32GB. The microSD card is essential for keeping the saved files.

Then choose the quality of the document and the file format. There are two major file formats. One is the JPEG and the other one is the PDF. There are 3 kind of quality levels available for the user. Mainly the user can select according to his need. The file sizes of these quality levels also drastically vary. We liked the simplicity of the use of this scanner. No need to read the user manual for this device. Just charge the device and then keep scanning the documents.

It takes only 3 seconds to scan an A4 size document. This is a very good speed and you can scan a lot of documents from an A4 size going smaller and smaller to a visiting card.

Conclusion

If you like to scan a lot of documents on the go then this scanner can be of ideal choice for you. We liked the autofeed feature of this scanner a lot. For people the price can be a concern, but for lawyers, CA, students and for people who scan a lot of documents can be a one time investment.

Robox 3D printer launched by element14

November 23, 2014

With everything around us becoming 3D why not the printing?? As a result of this thought being provoked, element 14 has launched the first truly plug and print 3D PRINTER from ROBOX. 3D printing is the ultimate just-in-time method of manufacturing. It sure will take additive manufacturing to the next level. The printer aims to achieve rapid prototyping while achieving a sound design in test environment.

Robox 3D printer

The dual head print nozzle design makes the Robox printer better than its competitors, by rendering high speeds up to 300%. While one nozzle concentrates on detailing, the other fills large areas with high speed and accuracy. The’ ooze’ and ‘stringing’ from the nozzle is taken care of, by the needle-valve. The problems of ‘blobbing’ or ‘stringing’ of excess material at the end of a section of print are also handled.

Multi coloured Printing: Multicoloured 3D printing is also possible by pausing a print part-way and swapping out the filament being used.

User -friendly Print Bed: A bed of the 3D printer is quite important for producing an effective prototype. The Robox printer uses a special probing mechanism which detects and corrects the gantry, thus ensuring its position is parallel. This arrangement would adhere to the printing of the first layer. The unique material of the bed, while adhering firmly to the hot plastic while printing allows the user the remove the printed after it is done.

Amazing reel-system : The printer exactly knows the kind of material it is fed with. So how does this happen? The filament which is loao ded with microchips does this job for the printer. The filament makes a tight contact with the printer by means of a closed feed-back loop and dual-pinch-wheel extrusion system.

Advantageous software – a real plug and print type: A user need not feel technically handicapped while using this 3D printer, for all he has to do is, add .stl models to an on-screen visualization of the print bed and hit “print”. The software would allow the user to create 3D printing objects.

Futurist design: The Robox is designed with multitasking abilities. It has the ability to accommodate a second extruder which will achieve dual colour printing or to print a totally different material for that matter. Further, different heads can be quickly assembled to perform diversified functions by the unique Headlock system. Although the printer sounds exhaustive in its functionality, it micromanagement in every step of printing cannot be denied.

A 3D printer as efficient as this, is sure to replace a warehouse full of inventories waiting for customers. This Robox 3D printer is available from element 14 in Europe.

We almost hear you whispering the “what-ifs” and “buts” about the 3D printer. Please go ahead and feel free to shoot them out to us!!

MHL or the mobile high definition link is a technology which almost connected to all android mobiles. MHL enabled smart phones and tablets connect to HD displays, thus delivering crystal clear HD content and amazing surround sound, while simultaneously charging the phone.

MHL launches Alternate Mode

This single instance is enough to hammer the importance of MHL accessories. So what is that intriguing offer MHL now makes for us?? Well, MHL LLC has developed MHL alternate mode for the USB Type-C specification. This would successfully support the MHL-3 specification which comes along with a 4K video, multi channel surround sound audio, HDCP 2.2 which is backward compatible for the MHL specification versions which are existing

The MHL team also aims to extend support to additional capabilities and connectors, such as USB type-C, which is much ahead of the industry’s expectation. One of the apparent reasons for the sounding success of MHL is that it supports most of the connectors already present on mobile devices and displays.

Having said this, it is no surprise when we learn that MHL has expanded upto 650 million devices in a few short years. When a mobile device is designed with a USB Type-C receptacle, it would be able to connect to a lineage of MHL Tvs, monitors, AVRs, Blu-ray Disc, players, projectors, set-top boxes and automotive products. These mobile devices which are associated with USB Type-C MHL Alt Mode also connect to HDMI displays through adapters which will in turn support MHL-to-HDMI protocol conversion.

This USB Type-C cable connector will definitely be a robust solution that will be ideal for almost all the platforms and devices.
