4 out of 5 stars Great Simple Scanner for the Price!   April 2, 2008

Highly recommend this VERY portable scanner. I would have given it 5 stars if it were not for the software conversion errors I received when trying to make multiple PDFs "searchable" via the software's batch process. One at a time works fine though. A TWAIN driver would be a welcomed upgrade.


5 out of 5 stars great little device for reducing clutter   May 5, 2008

I bought this device to digitize all of the papers I've accumulated over the years but have not been able to throw away -- receipts, tax forms, magazine articles, old college papers on which I got good grades, etc. I really hate having physical papers around and this lets me reduce the clutter around the house.

One particularly great feature is that it can simultaneously scan both sides of a document.

One caveat is that it's not great at reproducing all of the details in photographic/color docs, not to mention that it outputs only in PDF format. You wouldn't be using this to scan your old photos.



5 out of 5 stars Convenient Snap Scan S300   March 28, 2008

Instead of returning from a business trip with a sore shoulder from luging paper I now return with all the information on PDF. Thanks to my Fujitsu ScanSnap S300. The scanner is easy to carry with my laptop and storing the PDF's on a traveldrive make transfer to my main computer very easy.

Scanner works great !

It does everything advertised without any fuss.

I wanted a small scanner to scan in a lot of old magazine articles I have saved over the years (and continue to collect). These are usually 2 to 8 physical pages, double sided. I have scanned 10 so far and the process works great.

I was surprised by how fast the scanner is - seems like only 2 to 3 seconds per page. It zips along. So far I have scanned in up to 7 physical pages - worked fine. With the simulataneous double scan feature I go from paper to PDF file in less thatn one minute. A big difference from my one page at a time flatbed which is not practical for what I wanted to do.

I have only had one paper feed problem (what do you expect from torn out magazine pages) - but even that was a "snap" to correct and picked up scanning where I left off.

As noted, it scans directly to create a PDF file - the files are searchable if you select that option during setup - a definte requirement for me. With Vista's built in search feature, I can now find these articles and actually use them. (btw - yes, this works on my Vista machine).

The only down side is the size of the PDF files. They are not the normal small baby size you have come to expect from PDF documents. I suppose that's because these are really scanned images. Average sise is about 2 to 3 MB. Not so bad sinec storage is so cheap, but will add up over time.

The only other very small thing (which I have gotten used to already) is that the scanner has you isnert the pages into the feeder upside down and backward. There is a label on the scanner to remind you though. Not really an issue.

Scan quality is very good for what I want - I have set it on the second lowest quality and all scans are very readable, the pictures are good.

Overall, I am very happy and will continue to use this product. Although more than I wanted to spend, I would recommend this highly.



3 out of 5 stars ok scanner but not great   August 18, 2008

I was expecting a great all-around portable scanner from the reviews but was somewhat disappointed. Scanner is bulky for a portable scanner. Two cables needed to power and connect to computer is a nuisance. Scan quality for text is not great.

Pluses: Color scans are far better than text. Speed is good especially when plugged into AC power source.

I figure that if you already have a bulky scanner that needs two lines (power and connection to PC) w mediocre scan quality for text, maybe a non portable scanner will be a better value.

I have used the docketport 465 before it malfunctioned and got the scansnap instead. I'm sending the scansnap back for a new docketport instead.




We'll be adding even more exciting features to assist you in the coming year.
