Thank you for the responses🙂 this scanner has to be plugged in to a power source to? When I bought it I thought it would be something I could take with me in the car……but I had to purchase an outlet adapter to use in the car and then it still would not work😞 it kept telling me the password, on the bottom of the printer, was incorrect. Ugh, I ended up sending it back……I panicked, LOL
