While an Internet connection is highly recommended while using DocuScan Plus in order to access previously scanned materials or to save new projects to the server, it is sometimes not possible to be connected to the Internet when you need to scan a document. Docuscan Plus will function perfectly well in this scenario, as long as you understand that materials can only be saved to your local computer and not to the cloud while in this mode. If you are scanning without an Internet connection, you will only see the menu options that are applicable while offline.
