Great Little Scanner
I am very pleased with this purchase. This is by far the best and easiest to use scanner I have ever used. I use it in my office. The copies are great and it scans both sides of multi-page documents with ease. This is not a picture scanner however so if that is what you need you may want to search further
my legal department LOVES it
When I heard about the concept of a sheet-fed scanner, I instantly started looking for one to buy. Our legal group was previously living in the dark ages, laboriously scanning contracts a page at a time via a flat bed scanner. We found this nifty little device, read the great reviews, decided to give it a shot, and the legal group is now in ecstasy.
Pros:
* Fast! Even with the quality turned up, this scans an entire contract in the time the our Canon flatbed takes to warm up.
* Easy! Once you get the software installed and tweak any settings you feel like tweaking, scanning involves hitting a green button on the face of the scanner and clicking a single button on the screen. The provided software gives you a thumbnail ... Read More
The Fujitsu ScanSnap S510 is a fantastic scanner .
I purchased this scanner after reading all of the great reviews on Amazon. I have now had it for about one month and it has worked better than I imagined it could. I use it primarily in my business for converting loan documents such as applications, tax returns, Word documents, etc. into PDF files for E-mailing to banks and clients. It came with Adobe Acrobat Version 8.0 and the combination has been fantastic. I can scan the documents, combine them into a single file, reorder them, bookmark sections, and then E-mail the final product.
A really great side benefit has been how well the ScanSnap S510 scans my old printed snapshots. I have about 4,000 photos of my children as they were growing up that I took prior to digital photos ... Read More
A GREAT little scanner
I'm purchasing our 12th ScanSnap scanner today, not because of any problems with prior units, but because it is the most sought after device in our law firm!
We purchased our first unit about a year ago and now everyone wants one on their desk because they are small, easy to operate and fast enough to avoid a trip to the high-output hogh-speed copier we have down the hall, and the files are easier to name and move after scanning.
They have held up well in a business environment where they get heavy daily use, it would be more than adequate in a home or small office situation.
Liked it so much, I bought two
I tried to use an HP multi-function printer for scanning and it just didn't meet my needs. I have lots of paper to handle, and spend a lot of time creating pdf's from paper documents for distribution. I had direct experience with the Fujitsu 5120c scanner and wondered if this lower cost unit could do what I needed at half the price.
It does. Fast scans, with duplex scanning on the fly, makes it perfect for my uses. It is set up to create pdf's directly, and comes with Acrobat Standard. Scans are great, and can be quick unless you need a higher resolution than usual.
Occasional misfeeds on the multipage documents are a small issue for me. Best thing to do is make sure staples are removed quickly and the papers are "fanned" ... Read More
