 Great Portable Scanner May 16, 2010
David M Johnson
We've been using these portable scanners at work for a couple years. They are very compact, scan quickly, and help us perform our jobs much more efficiently. The only draw backs...I've not figured out how to scan pictures in jpeg format and they should sell the scanner with a carrying case.
Great Little Scanner May 13, 2010
Michael Novack (Tucson, AZ USA)
This got great reviews everywhere...and I must say it works great for me. The big deal is the built in PDF generation which is super fast and with a setting or two adjusted to just a little higher resolution than the defaults I find I can pretty much read even the smallest print with ease.
My only complaint is that for some smaller documents it does not always pull through fully straight..however there is a software function to deal with it and it works ok most of the time. Some documents (like thermal rcpt paper) are a little hard for it to handle. If the first pass doesn't get it right and a REALLY want to keep the scanned copy I will take a sheet of paper and tape the receipt to it to act as a holder .. this works well. I tried inserting small docs into a plastic carrier like a sheet protector..the the plastic is a bit too slick for the rollers to handle reliably.
For anyone wanting to purge a lot of paper that piles on your desk and store it electronically this is a great tool. The dual-sided scanning is very fast.
The ornanizing app they supply w/ the scanner is ok ... and supposedly indexes the PDF files from the scanner on words it sees..I've not messed with this too much but what little I have seems to work as advertized.
 Great Scanner, beware of your software! May 12, 2010
Hsiao Yu Chen (Chicago, il)
Love the scanner, as everyone detailed, it's simple and great.
Problem is, when I lost my hard drive, it was a pain to get it working again. First, you need to send them your part number and serial number for your scanner and they show a picture where you can find it. The problem is, the numbers are not there. Looked for a long time everywhere, still couldn't find it. Without these two numbers you can't get the software. Eventually I found the original box that has these two numbers - although they are outside the cardbox, a bit scraped off already. I managed to finally send them the numbers and waited for the link in the emails. a few minutes later, I got a link, login password to get the software.
Well i double clicked on the software (manager and organizer) and nothing happened. eventually I realized that all it did was expanding the files to a folder named of their own choosing: "ScanSnap" , "Organizer" and "Card." How nice! Any computer psychic can figure that out!
So the lesson is, as any traditional japanese electronics company products, make sure you keep a backup of your installation CD somewhere, and make sure you keep your part number and serial number stored somewhere you will not forget, either.
 Great Scanner but Could be Better March 21, 2010

The Scansnap scanner is very handy, small and does the job. It is easy to use but:
- The paper stack holder is badly designed making it easy for sheets to get crushed or go misguided.
- It could be designed to hold more than 10 sheets. I would say 25-30 (or more) would be perfect.
- It is not as quick as it should be
Overall I am happy with it and would buy it again, but Fujitsu could easily resolve those 3 issues and offer the market a great scanner.
What a machine! March 19, 2010

I have rarely been this excited and pleased with a piece of electronic equipment. This is, without doubt, one of the best office machine purchases I have ever made. ScanSnap was a 'snap' to set up and start using. It occupies otherwise unusable space on my desk, is simple to use (insert document, press button) and has worked flawlessly thus far. I've tested on color photos as well. 5x7 scanned to a 152kb PDF file and looks great. Business card scanning software works well too.
If I need to copy a document, I can scan and print right from my desk. If I need to scan and email, piece-of-cake two step process. Scan and store, just as simply. Only draw back is less exercise. No more trips to the central copy/fax/scanner to run a couple page job for me!
Best feature? It is small and light enough for me to carry along on road trips and can be powered from my notebook computer's USB port. With this, my notebook PC, portable printer and mobile broadband dongle I can load up the RV and still be a complete office almost anywhere.
