Connect scanner to iPhone

I just bought a portable scanner. How can I view the scans on my iPhone 3GS? The scanner has a USB port but expects to be connected to a PC. Is there a cable or adaptor I can buy?

Thanks

iPhone 3GS

No.

You cannot connect it to the iphone.

You would have to put the scans on your computer and sync them to the iphone.

Does your portable scanner have an SD card slot? If so, you might want to look into a Eye-Fi X2 card with the Eye-Fi iPhone app.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, my scanner uses a micro-SD card.
