=== Portable === [[File:Card Scanner.svg|thumb|An illustration of a portable business card scanner]] Image scanners are usually used in conjunction with a [[computer]] which controls the scanner and stores scans. Small portable scanners, either [[#Sheetfed|sheetfed]] or [[#Handheld|handheld]] and operated by batteries and with storage capability, are available for use away from a computer; stored scans can be transferred later.<ref name=best>{{cite web | last=Brant | first=Tom | author2=John Burek | date=July 1, 2024 | url=https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-portable-scanners | title=The Best Portable Scanners for 2024 | work=PCMag | publisher=Ziff-Davis | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20240804180551/https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-portable-scanners | archivedate=August 4, 2024}}</ref> Many can scan both small documents such as [[business card]]s and till [[receipt]]s, as well as letter-sized documents.<ref name=best /><ref>{{cite book | last=Baldridge | first=Aimee | date=2009 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ewvuqm-1YboC | title=Organize Your Digital Life: How to Store Your Photographs, Music, Videos, and Personal Documents in a Digital World | publisher=National Geographic | page=163 | isbn=9781426203343 | via=Google Books}}</ref>
