Dont forget you pay loads of money for a scanner why not pay out +?+?+?+?+?SSSSS for a product that will do the job. Cost doesn't come into it.

The USB cable is more than +?40. You can get the software for free on the Internet.

To me, paying +?40 for a cable to link to a PC a piece of kit that costs only +?160ish, is too much.
