Purpose & Audience

The Ambir DocketPort 468 DP468 is a simplex sheetfed scanner built for mobile professionals and small offices. It handles single-sided pages, ID cards, photos and receipts up to 8.5 by 14 inches through a USB 2.0 connection.

Capacity & Headroom

Optical resolution reaches 600 dpi with 48-bit colour and 8-bit grayscale depth. A business card scans in three seconds at 300 dpi grayscale; a letter page takes eleven seconds at 200 dpi black and white. Media thickness is limited to 1.00 mm and duplex scanning is not supported.

Deciding Specification

USB 2.0 bus power eliminates the need for an external adapter, and the unit weighs 0.78 lb at 12.4 inches long. Supported operating systems stop at Windows 8, so newer Windows versions are not covered by the supplied drivers.

Questions about this item

Will the DP468 simplex scanner connect to my older PC that only has USB 1.1 ports?

The DP468 uses a USB 2.0 interface that is hardware compatible with USB 1.1 ports, though it will operate at the slower USB 1.1 speed when connected that way.

How can I verify the DP468 is scanning at its rated 600 dpi optical resolution after setup?

Open the included DocketScan II or PageManager software, select the 600 dpi setting, scan a test document, then check the image properties to confirm the horizontal and vertical resolution both read 600 dpi.

Does the DP468 box include a USB cable and the DocketScan II software, or must I buy them separately?

The scanner ships with a USB cable for power and data, plus a software CD containing DocketScan II, TWAIN and WIA drivers, and PageManager; no extra purchases are required to start scanning.
