Best scanner i've used!! [Posted on 2008-03-24]
I finally purchased this scanner and have been happy ever sense! It has reduced my printing and paper use. I use this scanner in connection with a dual monitor system and cannot go back to working without it. Highly recommended!

Fujitsu 5120C ROCKS! [Posted on 2008-04-07]
This scanner is faster than a speeding bullet, very reliable and easy to use. Black/white, color, duplex, letter/legal. All the bells included. Our office now has five of these!

Fujitsu 5120C scanner [Posted on 2008-04-14]
I had purchased 3 HP scanners at different times, the lastest was a 5500, all of which were insufferably incompentent and a complete waste of time and money. Never again will I buy an HP product unless it's a laser jet printer, which is a fabluous product.

I've tried and returned 3 Brother all-in-ones, none of which worked well as scanners, except the doc feeder did work well sometimes as paper shredder. I couldn't figure out how to remove the jammed original from the doc feeder except by pulling it through, which, on perforated originals, would destroy the document. Phooey on Brother. Another complete waste of time.

With that background, now comes Fujitsu. I paid full legal retail, no fooling around with E-Bay on this one, and got the product the next business day for $20 more shipping.

The scanner is a work of art, a complee delight and a reliable workhorse. It always works, it's small, quiet and FAST. The standard software is a dream. The doc feeder opens like a clam shell, so NO pulling the paper through if it jams. You just press the releast button and the thing opens up and the original drops out of the bottom. It scans both sides of the doc at the same pass, at about the same speed as single sided scanning, so no jerking around with running the original back and forth through the doc feeder, where it introduces more opportunity for a screw ups, tearing and jamming. In case you have experienced it, it's horrifying to watch your original being slowly crumpled and torn while the doc feeder groans, then stops after it has destroyed your document. It's a sickening feeling.

Later, I bought a Canon duplex copier, Image Class model 6530, which sounded like a thrashing machine. It was both slow and stupid, on top of being too loud. It's duplex copying ran the copy through back and forth four times before it produced a single page of copy. It's doc feeder for duplexing was back and forth with the original, and it, too, jammed and the doc feeder wouldn't open up so you could gently remove the original. It also acted as a shredder. It went back.

The only thing about this Fujitsu model is that it doesn't have a flat bed for scanning photos and books, etc. That version wouldn't fit my pocket book or my desk top. My brother has a 5110C and says he just uses his copier for these jobs requiring a flatbed and then scans in the copy. I'll be buying a very nice Canon flatbed for about $80 which should work well for color flatbed and book scanning, which I need from time to time. The combination should be a killer.

In summary, the 5120C is a fabulous product which is carefully designed to do it's job flawlessly, taking everything into consideration, including noise, desk space, speed, reliability, ease of use, and care-free usability. With all those benefits, don't complain about the price. If you value your time, you respect yourself, you'll pay the price and get the one that works properly, so you can get on to the work at hand, rather than fighting your tools.

Hope this helps...

Great scanner but software issues [Posted on 2008-05-02]
This scanner is excellent - it is compact in size which is very helpful - it is very fast. It actually is much faster than needed for a home office and a buyer could save some expense by buying a similiar but slower model. I have had repeated problems with the driver. Have had to uninstall and reinstall the driver three times in one month. Tech Support as been very helpful and willing to work thru the problem but no definite solution. Nevertheless, I would highly recommend this scanner for an office application.

Great workhorse [Posted on 2008-07-08]
We ordered this to replace the scanner we had in our office as it finally died. We scan sometimes over 100 items per day on this scanner. It is easy to use. The set up was easy. It takes up little space. It is recommended by our medical software company as working well with their program.
