Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've used this scanner for about 3 months. I'm an MBA student and I use it to scan all my readings and cases so I can have them handy. I've scanned a lot of paper in a short time so have come across the good and the bad.
It can scan very fast but this is only on the lowest quality setting. If you are just archiving documents then this is fine but if you're going to OCR you need to set it at the highest quality which slows it down quite a lot. Otherwise you will get a lot of OCR errors and waste a lot of time correcting them. For archiving bills and other papers I try to stick with medium scan quality.
The duplex scan with blank page removal and automatic color detection works great, saves a lot of time compared with a classmate's HP sheetfed scanner.
Papers very occasionaly double feed. Has happened like 3 or 4 times since I've had it. The software can detect misfeeds because the paper will appear to be longer than it's supposed to be. You can just pull out the offending papers, restack them and continue the scan.
Software interface is below average. It's supposed to be able to launch an external application and pass it the PDF file. I've never been able to get it to do this except with Acrobat. Can't believe this doesn't work properly. Also it's supposed to scan to jpeg but this option does not exist in my software! No big deal but makes me wonder.
Hardware quality is average. Yes, it's plastic and doesn't seem to be worth what you paid from a build quality standpoint. The output tray is very poorly integrated with the rest of the unit. The nicest thing is that its footprint is very small. Fits well on my small office desk. I think they were cheap when they designed it since there is only one roller to draw papers into the scanner. This roller is located in the middle of the feedtray. The problem I find is that it almost never ever draws in my papers completely straight. If they had used several rollers this would not happen. Most my scans come out slightly skewed. But after OCR it dissapears.
Color seems slightly darker than originals. Color saturation changes according to scan resolution too.
Card scanner software works fine the one time I used it.
Other people complain about TWAIN. Yes, this would be nice but not a deal killer for me.
Autorotates pages which is very cool and unexpected. But occasionally gets it wrong and you have to fix it manually.
Not very noisy while scanning. None of the other people in the office have complained at least and I can work while scanning without being annoyed.
The scan light blinks on and off occasionally when it's standing by, this is slightly annoying as you can see the light reflecting off the desktop.

A fast-acting scanner with a wide variety of potential applications, the Fujitsu ScanSnap is especially oriented to the professional. Bundled with CardMinder and Adobe Acrobat, the scanner automates the process of turning images into PDF files and also allows you to digitize a stack of paper business cards with ease. With such time-saving possibilities, the ScanSnap won't take long to pay for itself.
24-bit color and 300 dpi optical resolution create images with realistic tones and clearly legible text. Processing speeds run up to 15 single-sided pages per minute. This speed is variable dependent on which of three resolutions you select: 150 dpi (normal), 200 dpi (fine), or 300 dpi (superfine). The scanner connects via a USB 1.1 cable, and includes a one-year warranty covering parts and service.
