 Best scanner for my needs February 24, 2010
J. Victor (Tulsa, OK)
I did quite a bit of research before purchasing a mobile scanner. I work in the litigation support industry and my needs are not the same as the rest of the business community at large. For example, within the legal field, a tiff image is industry standard for legal support software. (ie Sanction II, Trial Director, Summation, Concordance.......and so on) My research turned up a total of 0 scanners that will scan to a tiff image with thier bundled software. So, I moved on to try and find a scanner with TWAIN dirvers to use in other scanning applications. My problem here was that at the time, none of these scanners had driver support for 64-bit operating systems. It seems I was stuck.
I chose to go with the Scansnap S300 because when I checked the manufacturer web site I found Windows 7 support drivers ready to go. My trade off with using this scanner is that I have to go through one more step to get to my desired tiff images. The bundled software will allow me to scan directly to Acrobat, although it is in a sort of "back door" approach. I can set a scan profile in the software management utility and have it scan to acrobat. So you do not open Acrobat, click "create new PDF from scanner" and go from there. Rather, you load your paper into the scanner, select your "PDF" scan profile, and press the button. Your paper is scanned and then opened in Acrobat. From here, as I have a full version of Acrobat and not just the reader, I can save my scan to a tiff image for my litigation support-ware. It is an extra step, but as I will list below, I am very pleased with this scanner thus far.
My Pros and cons are: Pros- Outstanding scan quality. Outstanding scan speeds. Document feeder that works very well. Windows 7 (64-bit) support and good instructions on how to properly load said drivers as they are not yet included on the packaged CD. Quiet operation. Design allows for easy cleaning of the scan lens and replacement of feed rollers. Color scans of photos look fantastic as well.
Cons- No TWAIN drivers, and in a call to customer support it does not seem likely there ever will be. Scanner needs separate connections for data and power. So you need to be near A/C power or tie up two usb ports on your computer.
My needs are different from the general business traveler so my review may not speak to very many. This scanner is an outstanding piece of gear and I am very glad I chose this one. On a side note, while poking around on the Fujitsu web site I came a across an offer for a free carrying case. I believe this offer expires soon, so check the web site for more details.
 Fantastic February 19, 2010
J. Williamson (Virginia)
The ScanSnap S300 has been the best electronics purchase I've made in a very long time. I've eliminated all the random paper that tends to accumulate on a desk (and kitchen counter). What few bills I still receive in paper are now scanned and stored with the others electronically (originals shredded of course). When the kids bring home papers that need to be kept I now just keep them electronically. No more lost project papers.
I've been using it for about 2 weeks now. It's a fantastic tool to help you organize your desk and life plus it just works well. That seems like an obvious thing but far too often in the electronics world devices have bugs or irritating shortcomings. I haven't found any on the ScanSnap S300. The duplex scanning is amazing. It's easy to merge PDFs. It can handle most paper sizes. It doesn't jam. It even scans photos that are suitable for online use (Facebook, etc.) - I wouldn't recommend it for your permanent photo scanning unless you don't mind lower resolution scans. Keep in mind though, it's not intended for that. Oh yeah, and it's fast; it scans with an incredible, breath-taking, makes-you-want-to-scan-something-else-anything-else, "Top Gun" speed.
Good Tool for Home Office February 17, 2010
Eugene A. Grinstead (Alabama, USA)
I basically bought this to help reduce the amount of paper in our home file cabinet. I've used it for about a month now - and it's been great. I appreciate the size (can just toss it in a desk drawer when not in use) and how simple it is to use (I use to be an "early adopter" kind of guy - now 4 kids later - I just want something that works quickly / as advertised). You just plug in the power cable and the usb cable / open the scanner / load your the items to scan / and push one button - then you get a pdf with a simple option to email it / or save it anywhere on your drives. The icon in the system tray makes it easy to switch any of the scanning features on / off. This is not what you want to buy if you need to scan 100 page legal documents (you can load about 15 pages at a time) - but if you just want to remove some clutter (think old bank statements, bills, receipts) from your regular household life - this will do the trick. Could type a lot more about the software, etc. - but really I never have that much time. :-)
I would buy it again! January 27, 2010

First, let me say that the best price for this product was found on Amazon and shipping was FREE! It doesn't get better.
This scanner shocked me with its speed, accuracy, quality, etc. I have no complaints, just a wish: now, let's make one that is both a printer and scanner in the same size. That way I could carry justs one item on trips, not two. :-)

I hate having paperwork sitting around my house, and this scanner has allowed me to eliminate piles of documents.
The bundled ScanSnap Manager software is okay, but you need Acrobat in order to fully realize its potential. I get around this limitation by setting up a scan profile to "Scan to Evernote." I let the scanning software perform the OCR immediately, which takes a few seconds depending on the document size, but it seems to do a better job than Evernote. Using the OCR in conjunction with Evernote's tags and notebooks, I'm able to keep everything nicely organized, easily search-able and accessible wherever I am. With my smartphone and Evernote, all my documents are at the my disposal at any given time.
As for the scanner itself, the small footprint is nice, but the reality is that this thing just sits on the corner of my desk. I have no need to take it with me, but it's nice to know that if I wanted to, I easily could. It handles pretty much everything I throw at it without damaging the source material. If it jams, it's almost always my fault. I recently scanned a batch of photos at the highest resolution and they turned out great.
I've embraced the paperless lifestyle. It sounds like a hassle, but it's quick and simple: document comes in, I scan it and shred it. The scanner provides me peace of mind in knowing I have a backup available when I shred old documents and receipts. If I ever get audited (knock on wood), I will not be rummaging through boxes of receipts, I'll be typing in a search field. Tax time should be relatively easy, since all tax-related documents are scanned and labeled as such. If I need to dispute a bill, I'll be able to find archived documents quickly and effortlessly. I haven't even begun to comprehend how some of the obscure documents I have scanned will come in handy.
I'm currently using this scanner with a Windows 7 PC, but if you really want to use the S300 with your Mac, I can confirm that it works. With a little help from Google, it's not that difficult.
