Exceeded expectations
The ScanSnap S510M scanner has enabled me to access data from hard copy that used to be filed away in God-only-knows-what folders! And, since I live in two separate places, it now resides in my computer in pdf format. Now, if I can only figure out how to use Adobe Acrobat...
Extremely efficient package
The scanner is extremely fast and provides very good quality. The software included (Acrobat Professional, and ABFFY OCR software) is easily worth half the cost of the 5510M package; the OCR recognition has been literally perfect while scanning a couple of textbooks that I wanted to digitize to carry around with my laptop. The whole package has been dynamite and I highly recommend it for Mac users.
Amazing at the office, had to have one for home!
I purchased the Fujitsu ScanSnap for my office based on the review from a CPA firm my company contracts. This little guy is AMAZING. So easy to set up, super compact, and scans really fast! It scans double-sided, in color, and scans even the tiniest receipts and pieces of odd-shaped paper, and the software allows you to keep all your scanned files organized. With the scansnap you can get rid of your copier and possibly fax machine (since most faxes go directly to emails anyway, just scan and email the PDF).
I'm now purchasing one to use at home to keep all my receipts organized on my computer (vs having little scraps of paper all over the place) and also to keep a paperless home as much as possible. The scansnap prevents clutter ... Read More
Great Scanner
The software included with this makes it really easy to use on my Mac. It's fast. I haven't had any problems with misfeeds. I highly recommend it.

This machine is a pretty good solution for Mac users whose desks (and sometimes floor) have gotten lost under towering stacks of paper. Scanning really is more snappy with the automatic paper/document feeder, one-button scanning and Fujitsu's ScanSnap software that allows you to adjust controls for:
- quality (normal=fast, better=faster, best=slow, excellent=slower)
p.s. "best" is not actually the best.
- color mode (auto-detect, color, black and white)
- which sides you scan (duplex, single-sided -- if you choose duplex, it automatically deletes blank pages)
Although scanning with this machine is normally a smooth process, paper jams do happen. The likelihood of a paper jam obviously depends ... Read More
