It plugs into the back of the scanner to provide power for the light. I wore out the Canon that we had - I liked it better than the Epson we had at the time since it did a better job of OCRing documents. The big oversize multi-function Epson we got to scan scrapbook pages added better OCR capability.

I have quite the array of scanners and printers - a Brother laser printer that can duplex (print on both sides of the page), the Epson V800 that can scan large format negatives and slides, and the massive multi-function that can scan 11x17", print 13x19", and has an automatic document feeder for the mass quantities of paper I run into. The last one is my color printer and I may have to replace it since the printer head is clogged. But I printed a dozen or more books out of it (did a collection of photos and info about my sister that passed away in 1993 for her kids and a bunch of other stuff) so I got my money's worth out of this refurbished printer!

Since we pretty much have all the photos and documents for both my family and my husband's we can organize them nicely. I've gotten so I can recognize family members across all the years of their lives and have identified people who were unnamed in some of the pictures. Just today I sent messages to people who have cousins of my Dad in their trees on Ancestry. We have photos that their families may not have and I'd like to share them.
