Best technology purchase for me in a long time January 26, 2008
William Bivens (Marietta, GA)
17 out of 18 found this review helpful
I'm a computer professional with over 24 years of computing experience and I have to say that this is probably one of best technology purchases I've made in quite some time. I've always been a paper pack rat and after looking at a electronic document management package called DevonThink with it's tight integration with the ScanSnap series of scanners I took the plunge and purchased this unit. Within just a week I scanned in excess of 800 pages of documents and started filing them away properly and cleaning out the filling cabinet.
The only negative review complained about how it does not handle different page sizes in the same ADF load and this is partially incorrect. I've found that if I place the larger pages in the front and the smaller pages in the rear that the scanner will detect them automatically and it works like a champ, and at this point you can re-arrange them via the include Adobe Acrobat Professional that comes with the scanner.
The quality of the scanned pages is great (I used a Brother 7820N MFC device before, but this is better), they seem to feed in relatively straight all the time (however you can have the ScanSnap software straighten them in case they don't), I really can't say enough about how great this device is. The other part I'd like to mention is that it works with 10.5 (Leopard) without any problems.
So one last comment, I'm usually not that guy to write a review or better yet rave about a scanner but this thing is changing my life for the better and if you're looking to archive your documents and get rid of the clutter you can't go wrong with this purchase...it's a must have.
 A disappointment March 26, 2008

I've had this unit for two weeks and use it on a daily basis as I try to reduce files accumulate over the last 15 years. I usually do quite a bit less than planned because it is too frustrating. [...]. It does not scan odd sized (or even legal sized) documents without special handling. Forget about scanning multiple pages of odd sized documents. I've compensated by reducing the legal sized documents on my copier and then scanning the copies, but what a bunch of humbug. Scanning multiple pages of anything less than pristine 8.5 x 11 documents is a nightmare. The document feeder is poor. It does not even compare favorably to my HP multifunction machine document feeder. Mis-picks and jams are frequent. It's nice to have Adobe 8 Professional, but the unit itself is not an office grade machine. Not even for a small office. It works, but don't expect it to be easy. It isn't. Buyer beware!!

This scanner is so fast and accurate it's unbelievable. It took me all of 5 minutes to load the software and plug it in. Then all I had to do was put in the object I wanted to scan, and whoosh, it was done.
I scanned a 21 page contract front and back in seconds. The scanner knows if the back is blank or not and scans the back side only if there's something on it. I then converted the document to a pdf that I could search. It took one click to start the process. The document was extremely accurate.
This is really going to make my life easier. If you want to scan anything and everything, this is the scanner to get.
"Before Scanner" vs "After Scanner" April 9, 2008
Ask Bjorn Hansen (Los Angeles, CA, United States)

This thing is amazing. My paper organization is completely divided into "before scanner" and "after scanner". I'm able to find any important document or financial statement I've received since getting the scanner; or rather - I can find the scanned version. The paper copy just goes in a big box to be stored for 7-8 years (for tax purposes).
The ScanManager software is great. It has a bunch of features, but ignore most of them. The best part is just to set it to "Scan to file" which means that it gets completely out of your way and just leaves PDF files in a folder on the disk ("Scan to folder" inexplicably makes you do a lot more work).
The included software can convert your documents to text - or more accurately add the text to the otherwise image-only PDF files. I don't use it though, it's pretty slow and makes the files A LOT bigger. For me just organizing the files by year and type ("banking", "taxes", "expense", "contracts") does the job. The scanner also comes with Adobe Acrobat Professional, but I strongly recommend that you just use OS X 10.5 (Leopard). The "QuickLook" feature and the improvements in the Preview PDF viewer are perfect for the job of quickly organizing, doing light editing (remove unneeded pages for example) or looking through many pdf files.
Another recommendation: Look into JungleDisk to backup your important documents. It will store them securely on Amazons servers with their S3 service and it's incredibly cheap. I have a thousand PDF files stored now and I pay less than a dime a month for that.
The footprint of the scanner is great when it's folded up; it will easily fit on your desk. The user interface is also just about perfect: Open it up to turn it on. Press the button to scan.
The only thing I could wish for would be having the document feeder work better; my pages often get stuck to each other so I generally feed it one page at a time. If your papers are in better shape than mine it might work better for you.
Great scanner April 10, 2008

Just received the scanner this week and so far like it a lot. I spent an evening scanning hundreds of pages with no problems. Its very fast yet produces great quality scans. As others have said, this is a great tool to go paperless. Its surprisingly compact and the software is very integrated with Apple's OS. Also super easy to get started without reading any documentation (just remember to install the SW before you connect the scanner to your Mac). However, the included Adobe Acrobat Pro Software is very valuable and probably worth reading the manual for in order to get even more value from the scanner. I always read Amazon reviews and never post but thought Fujitsu deserved a few minutes of my time given the great quality of this product.
