We stand behind our product Get quick answers to any questions If you are missing anything on the packing list, let us know and we'll send it If you are not satisfied, we will make it right The Scanner Bin is a carefully designed camera stand that works with your smartphone to scan documents. When it's not used for scanning, it serves as a bin to hold the papers that you want to scan later. It eliminates the common problems with scanning documents by consistently aligning your phone to the paper, controlling the lighting, providing a contrasting background, and holding paper flat. Recommended scanning apps: Adobe Scan (most recommended), Scanbot, Evernote Scannable, Camscanner, Photomyne (photos), Prizmo Go (blind & visually impaired) Designed, manufactured and packed in the USA The Scanner Bin is protected by US Patent 9,742,952 and additional patents pending The Scanner Bin logo is a registered trade mark (Reg. No. 6,068,171) How does Scanner Bin improve the smartphone scanning performance? Controlled lighting Issues: glare on glossy paper (like photographs and many mailed letters), shadows cast by your hand/phone or other sources, scanning software tries to over-correct for lighting uniformity and makes text illegible Solution: for glossy documents, keep the flash off, and position the scanner bin so that a light source can illuminate the paper without large shadows. The Scanner Bin will block the light from the other directions, including overhead. For further improvement, you can purchase the LED add-on kit. For non-glossy documents, keep the flash on and block unwanted light with the Scanner Bin. Auto-crop with contrasting background Issues: scanning apps have a handy feature that detects the edges of the paper and cuts out the rest of the background automatically. However, it only works if the paper and the background are different colors. Solution: the Scanner Bin provides a consistent backdrop that contrasts with most colors of paper so that the scanning app software can easily detect the edges of the paper and automatically crop the image accordingly. Consistently aligning the smartphone to the scanned object Issue: when you scan with your smartphone, you need to hold the phone in the proper position, relative to the scanned object. This can slow down the process or cause issues with the image quality. Solution: the Scanner Bin utilizes adhesive foam bumpers to position your phone in the same location for each scan and allows for hands-free scanning with your smartphone. Scanning folded paper Issue: flatbed scanners (although painfully slow) have a significant advantage over smartphones when it comes to scanning folded paper (most letters and receipts) Solution: sold separately , we provide a carefully-selected transparent "Flat Sheet" (8.5"x11") that can be placed over the paper to keep it flat for scanning Scanning with your phone achieves higher image resolution than 1200 DPI in a fraction of the time Frequently Asked Questions Review: Great Productivity Tool - Most people probably look at this product and ask "why would I pay this price for a cardboard box." But a lot of design went into this product to make it work well for scanning documents quickly and easily. I have an all in one printer scanner that has both a flat bed and a sheet fed scanner, so if I need to scan many 8.5x11 pages, that device makes more sense. But to be honest, it's a pain to scan a single page, off-size documents like a check. I have to put it in the scanner, scan it, crop it, etc. With this box I can scan from my phone in a matter of seconds, and it lines up immediately, sees the contrasting outline because of the color of the box, crops automatically, no shadows because of the box and I'm done. It works must faster than hand-held scanning. I used the free Microsoft Office Lens app on my phone and it worked without a hitch. Also makes a great box for pilling up things that will need to be scanned. The shape of the box was carefully worked out - making one yourself out of a random cardboard box would take a lot of time and experimentation. This was a worthwhile purchase. I asked the seller a question, and he responded very quickly and generously. I'm very glad I bought it and recommend it highly. Review: Great for the Visually Impaired - I bought this product as a lightweight, inexpensive scanning tool for my grandma who has very limited sight. She has struggled in the past with bulkier plastic scanning tools that were more expensive and less effective than the Scanner Bin. I set the bin up for her and she was immediately able to scan documents for her apps to read back to her. Since she is easily able to scan documents without fiddling with the bin for too long and is able to store away for when guests come over, the Scanner Bin is a great product that has all the capability of a more dedicated scanning stand for a fraction of the price. My only issue with the product is that it is a little hard to set up if you have trouble seeing, but there is no way around this issue because if the product shipped assembled it would run the risk of getting damaged in shipping. Otherwise, the Scanner Bin is a cheap, easy to set up tool that gets the job done. ## Features - Flatbed scanners simply cannot compete with your smartphone and a Scanner Bin. Improved resolution and color rendering compared to popular flatbed scanners. Compare to 1200 DPI. Takes a fraction of the time to scan at a fraction of the cost. Not to mention that flatbed scanners end up adding a lot of hazardous e-waste to your local landfill. - Solve the common issues with smartphone scanning.

It is also simplified for set up and use, and therefore is recommended for those who are blind, visually impaired or have movement disorders. - Use with popular FREE APPS for document scanning like Adobe Scan, Scanbot, Evernote Scannable, CamScanner, and Prizmo Go ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00XM7LKZM | | Best Sellers Rank | #90,353 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #78 in Document Scanners | | Brand | Scanner Bin | | Connection Type | Wireless | | Connectivity Technology | Wireless | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 1,237 Reviews | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 9"D x 13"W x 12"H | | Light Source Type | LED | | Manufacturer | Scanner Bin, LLC | | Media Type | USB | | Minimum System Requirements | Windows 7 | | Model Name | Easy Setup Scanner Bin | | Optical Sensor Technology | CMOS | | Product Dimensions | 9"D x 13"W x 12"H | | Resolution | 12800 dpi | | Scanner Type | Photo, Receipt, Document | | UPC | 634301725289 | | Warranty Description | Returns Accepted | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Scanner Bin - **Connectivity Technology:** Wireless - **Maximum Media Size:** 11 x 17 inches - **Minimum System Requirements:** Windows 7 - **Model Name:** Easy Setup Scanner Bin - **Optical Sensor Technology:** CMOS - **Product Dimensions:** 9"D x 13"W x 12"H - **Resolution:** 12800 dpi - **Scanner Type:** Photo, Receipt, Document - **UPC:** 634301725289 ## Images ![Scanner Bin - The Clever Document Scanning Solution - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XkGe8AflL.jpg) ![Scanner Bin - The Clever Document Scanning Solution - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SzBewro8L.jpg) ![Scanner Bin - The Clever Document Scanning Solution - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61C+tXtiXTL.jpg) ![Scanner Bin - The Clever Document Scanning Solution - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91c0Sqt5fdL.jpg) ![Scanner Bin - The Clever Document Scanning Solution - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91MbhY-ba1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Productivity Tool *by T***G on September 12, 2020* Most people probably look at this product and ask "why would I pay this price for a cardboard box."

But it solves a real problem if you want to use the high quality camera in your phone to take consistent scans of documents very affordable. The add-on kit with an LED light strip helps a lot with shadows and adds some simple cardboard stabilizers. This is a good solution if you want to scan dozens of items but appears to be too fragile to scan many hundreds and it is hard to use without bumping the box. Scanning apps highly recommended by the seller. I chose CamScanner. ## Frequently Bought Together - Scanner Bin Scanner Bin - the Clever Document Scanning Solution - Dual Light Stands for scanning documents, Photos, Products, Albums, textbooks, and Receipts with Balanced Illumination - Photomyne Long Flexible Phone Mount with Clamp 8x8 inches/22.5x22.5 cm for Photo Album Scanning - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/49002710-scanner-bin-the-clever-document-scanning-solution](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/49002710-scanner-bin-the-clever-document-scanning-solution) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
