 Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2014 10:47 am Post subject: Document Scanning Service. Where Can I Get it Done? |
 |
|
I need to scan a paper document onto my USB key. I went to the internet cafe near my home and of course they didn't have a scanner (I guess the 10,000 yen or 15,000 yen investment in a printer scanner is too expensive for them ) 
Does anyone have and idea where I can get this done? Try other internet cafes? |

Some copiers can do that.
Try Kinko's. |

Do you know if any of the convenience store copiers can do that?
Lawsons and Family Marts machines can print PDF documents from a USB key, but I don't remember a scan function on those machines. It's a one way deal. |

That option is good for the gaijin who wants to live in Japan forever (or say 3 years, the life span of a scanner). However, I'm not one of them, so I don't want to lose money reselling it or the hassle of doing that. |

Ever so sad to learn you may no longer be on these boards in a few short years  |

With all that money yer gonna save on the diet, you should be able to afford it.
Yer reasoning is silly & spurious...a Canon portable scanner is light-weight, cheap, highly-useful and USB powered...in other words INTERNATIONAL!
Being a "gaijin" has got nothing to do with it, being unreasonable, unimaginative & a penny-pincher does... |

| I was there for a year and bought a 5000 yen scanner/copier/printer. Disposal was as easy as a craigslist post. Totally worth it. |

Whatever dude. Do you always try to start arguments with people over trivial issues? |

No more, Dude, than kah5217, who said essentially the same thing that I did...
Obviously, it wasn't "trivial" to you as you started a whole new thread over it.
I guess, when you have nothing credible to offer...you attack.
How pedestrian... |
