Customer Reviews:

Great product [Posted on 2008-04-30]
This scanner performs better than expected. Installation was very easy. The combination of the scanner features and Acrobat makes this very easy to use.

I am scanning 60,000+ documents, and it would be a back-breaker without this product. The duplex operation with the autofeed works very well. If an error occurs or is suspected, the software lets you know, then waits for you to correct the condition, then continues. You do not lose what has been previously done!!!!

When the last document in the hopper is done, the software allows you to add more and continue, rather than arbitrarily assuming the job is done. I have scanned over 300 pages into one file thanks to this feature.

This scanner exceeded my expectations.

Love the size but too many paper jams [Posted on 2008-05-05]
I purchased this product over a month ago and I love that it doesn't take up too much space. It is very small and scans pages pretty quickly. The major issue I'm having is that the pages tend to jam too often. It doesn't matter if the paper being inserted and scanned is old or new, previously stapled or whatever. There are times when the scanner works really well and I do not have issues with the feeder. But more often than not I have to feed even a 3 page document because it continually jams. I did not purchase this product anticipating I would have to constantly feed documents 2 pages at a time. The product description boasts that it can hold up to 50 pages. Unfortunately, you'll be feeding the majority of those pages.

Awesome Scanner! [Posted on 2008-05-05]
This scanner is amazing! I have several Fujitsu scanners (predecessors to this model) and this one tops them all. It is fast, efficient and easy to operate. I highly recommend it!

Awesome scanner [Posted on 2008-05-08]
I ordered this scanner a couple of months ago, and have been using it fairly extensively at work in a Finance dept. I am extremely pleased with this scanner. It is compact, sits neatly on my desk, can fold up when not needed, and is ready on a moment's notice. I just love its simplicity, just pop in a bunch of papers, hit the green PDF button and it whips through them in no time, literally just a few seconds per page. Great that it can scan both sides of the page at the same time. After scanning, it rotates all of the images to be right-side up, it deletes any blank pages (e.g. blank back-side of scanned pages), then prompts me whether I want to give it a custom file name or not (it automatically proposes a unique name based on system date/time), and whether I want to file it in a folder on my PC, pop it into an email, or whatever. Can't beat the speed and convenience. Very simple and well thought out.

Unlike the last reviewer, I had no trouble using this scanner with other programs - in my case it worked great with both PaperPort 10 and Omnipage 16. Of course you can also use it with the provided ScanSnap software, which is also very speedy and convenient. In fact, I prefer ScanSnap for my needs.

This scanner is the envy of everyone in the department that sees it. It is very reasonably priced, small and fast, fast fast! I think it is a great value, and has transformed how I handle paper in the office.

I also used it to scan business cards with the provided biz card scanning software. The software can easily send the scanned info into Outlook (I'm using Outlook 2007). It was OK, but it did have trouble recognizing biz cards with very small fonts, despite my slowing the scan speed down a bit to get the highest quality scan possible. I found myself making a couple of corrections to half the biz cards I scanned. But still worthwhile to use it if you have a big pile of cards to scan, or if this is a regular part of your daily job.

Excellent. Easy to install and use. The resolution could be better, but that would have cost a lot more money.
