36 VISIONEER STROBE XP SCANNER USER’S GUIDE
SCANNING ON THE GO
Because the RoadWarrior, Strobe XP 100, and XP 300 can draw power
from the computer through the USB cable, you can use your scanner on
an airplane, at a remote job site, in your car, or anywhere else where an
electric outlet is not available.
■ Connect the scanner to your laptop with the USB cable. The scanner
will draw its power from the laptop battery.
■ The Strobe XP 300 also connects to a power outlet. If the laptop
battery is low, or if electric power is available, use the AC Power
Adapter with the laptop.
Note: The Strobe XP 200 requires an external power supply.
Note: If electrical power is available for the Strobe XP 300, use the
power adapter, even with your laptop computer. The scanner will scan
faster when connected to an electrical wall outlet, and it won’t drain
the laptop’s battery.
