Avision’s small pull-in scanner MetaMobile 20 belongs to the class of autonomous mobile devices that you quickly pull out of your briefcase in the archive or in the library. It digitizes single-sheet documents quickly and on both sides without the support of a PC or smartphone. The scans end up on an SD memory card. The device, which weighs around 600 grams, has a removable lithium-ion battery that is charged via its USB interface. A slot on the front accepts SDHC memory cards (up to 32 GB), Avision supplies a 32 GB medium.
The MetaMobile 20 creates its own, open WLAN over which it grants access to the scans on the memory card. To do this, you connect a notebook or smartphone to the SSID of the Avision scanner and call up your website by entering 10.10.100.1 in the URL line of a browser. The scans can be viewed and downloaded via the frontend called PhotoView. However, the MetaMobile 20 can neither scan app-controlled via WLAN nor integrate into an existing WLAN.
In order to use the Avision scanner on the PC, the enclosed USB cable is required. To do this, you have to deactivate the WLAN using a switch on the right side and switch the scanner to PC mode by pressing the Scan/OK button.
