THE LSM-100 scanner mouse has entered the ICT market with tailor-made technology that offers an array of unique functions for user convenience.LG Electronics, owners of the product said the mouse 'has an embedded scanner function that offers convenience, mobility and simplicity.' This breaks through the limitations of complicated, non-portable conventional scanners expected to be the next to hit the technology market.The LSM-100 scanner mouse allows scanning of page sizes up to A3 size, outdoing most portable scanners. Along with the left, right and back mouse buttons, the LSM-100 also features a Smart Scan button.According to the Head, IT Division of LG Electronics, West Africa Operations, Mr. Dave Shin, the device works by using its lower section with 5 LEDs, which reflect the image that the user scans into the mouse.By pressing the scan button, the device activates, displaying the image below the mouse onto the user's screen. Within the supporting software, users can paste, share, save, print and also edit the document or image. The contrast, brightness, rotation and resizing option are also available.The scanned documents can be shared with social media groups such as Flicker, Facebook and Twitter, or through email. The Smart Scan also enables business users to electronically scan documents (magazines, business cards, text books, images, drawings and more) making this device useful not just for consumers but also businesses.Scanned images can be saved in PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PDF, XLS or DOC format, or dragged and dropped into the desired application.
