Great Product [Posted on 2004-07-13]
The scan width is 8.5 inches. It will not do letters sideways but otherwise it is fine (unlike what some poster said). It doesn't do greyscale. Only B/W and color. It doesn't do photos well. Photo paper attract paper dust (from your other scannings) and you get white spots. This machine is for converting bills and records into pdf quickly. 400 dpi at 10 ppm and 600 dpi are usable - not that much slower for me. For scanning pictures and greyscale, you will need to buy a $80 flatbed scanner. This is a specialized machine, it does not do everything. The rated 15 ppm is for 11 inch pages. If you are scanning short paper (checks for example) it is faster. My checks scan at 60 checks per minute. I love my machine for what it does. If you wanted the machine for something other than scanning into a pdf (B/W or color), you will be disappointed. For what it does, it is beautiful. I haven't checked out the OCR capabilities. I think Acrobat will do it. Frankly, I don't need to OCR my bills and I never use it.
Very Defective Machine [Posted on 2004-11-10]
Having scanned more than 40,000 pages, I would say I am an expert at using this finicky, difficult, tempermental and basically flawed piece of hardware. The quality of the PDFs is very good, both black and white and color. So it does work. However, the problem is with the roller and "grabber" assembly. Simply, it will pull, at its own discretion, 2, 8 or 10 pages at once! If you are scanning stacks of documents, which I do, you will have to have them all checked for missed pages (i.e. pages that were pulled together) and then redo these, to be added to your document later. You will also clear frequent scans, no matter have carefully and precisely you feed new stacks of sheets. I could write a fair size manual on how to try and feed pages and the compelx ins and outs of MINIMIZING jams (since you will NOT prevent them). I have used every kind and size of paper, from very rough to shiny, from photocopies to high quality printed color materia and there are jams, regardless. Preping the pages, by shuffling them around so they do not stick, has a minimal effect. You WILL be frustrated and driven to the limit of patience by this poorly designed scanner, which should have had DOUBLE roller. Because of the single roller affair, you also get skewed sheets, no matter how perfectly square and aligned they are in the machine (Fujitsu's web site lies about this, blaming the user). The engineer who designed the roller system should be fired and Fujitusu should reimburse users at least half the price-after honestly disclosing how horrific the product is to use. Hours and hours of wasted time and energy. Still, it is the ONLY such scanner in its price, though I think Canon is now coming out with a rival.. That would be good.
I find it very, very, very hard to believe the 4 or 5 star ratings I found here are written by actual users and not Fujitsu empolyees or resellers. The ONLY way one would be satisfied with this machine is if the pages are hand fed, one by one, for double sided copying.
If there are no competitors, and you can get this machine cheap, and have profound patience and a meditative mind, possibly consider it. If ANY competing device comes into existance, avoid this like the plague.
A great product [Posted on 2005-09-13]
I've had this scanner for about a year and a half.
I've scanned a huge number of documents,
with no problems. It is very fast and
very easy to use. Bravo.
Unlimited frustration [Posted on 2006-08-13]
Q: When is a scanner not a scanner? A: When its a toy.
This is one of the worst products I have ever used. Its almost impossible to scan any amount of stacked paper without multiple jams and multiple sheets being pulled at once. If the stack has ever been stapled together or even punch with a hole punch, the few fibers that link the sheets are enough to stick multiple sheets together. The roller system is terrible. This product is virtually unusable for people intending to scan more than one sheet at a time. Suggest you avoid it and go with a more robust products with a better pulling system, such as one of the Brother multifunction copiers.
Fantastic Desktop Scanner [Posted on 2007-05-21]
This scanner is NOT a $700 scanner. If you want perfection, then you will need to pay for it. However, if you want a small scanner that can stay on your desktop (and looks nice) to scan the occasional bill or receipt, then this is your scanner. I have used mine for over 2 years with no problems (not Vista compatible at this time). Yes it occasional pulls in more than 1 sheet of paper and yes it does jam occasionally, but what scanner doesn't. We have a $40,000 scanner at work and guess what, it jams and it pulls in 20 pieces of paper at one time. The biggest difference between scanners is not whether it jams, its the optical lens, the speed which it scans, twain compatible, bundled software and duty cycle. For the price, you can't beat this one.
I do want to correct a few of the reviewers regarding this scanner:
1.) It is TRUE 1-touch scanning. Once you have installed the software, all you need to do is insert the paper to be scanned and press the button and it will scan it and save it to the folder that you specified. From there, you can drag it anywhere, email it, edit it if you have the correct software or just leave it there. Also, this scanner has 1 button foe simplex and another button for duplex scans. Just the push of 1 button does single sided and another for double sided papers.
2.) The included software will allow you to save it in JPEG and PDF. Someone said that it does not save to JPEG, but it does. However, it only saves COLOR images to JPEG, not B/W.
3.) While it is not TWAIN compatible, you can insert or copy your files into other applications. In fact, if you have Acrobat standard 7.0 or newer, you can scan any text document using this scanner and then copy the text out of scanned PDF image using Acrobat and then insert into any other application.
This really is a great scanner for the price.
