Fujitsu Scansnap S300 Color Mobile Scanner Reviews
This is not designed to be a photo scanner. I've been impressed with the quality of the scans, including color graphics, though admittedly I've not tried scanning photos. Not cheap, but a worthwhile investment for those who need a fast, reliable, portable business scanner. It is amazingly fast at double-sided scans, which is a huge time-saver. Of course, much of the beauty of this is its size small & light enough to throw into your computer bag along with your computer.
That said, it has traveled to/from the office with me for a month, plus an overseas trip, and has stood up well for 6 weeks. If that's your need, look for larger, cheaper, better flatbed photo scanners. Th ScanSnap 300 is aimed at the business crowd, and for that group of folks, this is a terrific little scanner. My only gripe with this is that there is more plastic than I expected, and some parts seem a bit flimsy. It scans directly to PDF, which is quite helpful, especially for those who don't have Acrobat or other similar software that allows them to do this.
This provides me the freedom to tackle some scanning jobs at venues outside of my office, or when I am on the road - a nice feature.
Solid, reliable operation. Good scanning speeds.
Great images. Auto aligns scanned pages.
Pros: Auto duplex and color. Locked in to Fujitsu's card mgmt software.
Cons: Scan software only remembers the default location for images. Card scanner can't print card images or list.
Overall, a great sheet feed scanner.
Love it. You can choose to get one pdf per page or 2 pages or one pdf for all pages, including more that 10 pages. When the computer is idle it will ocr the pages so you can search the text. The data is archived in directories so it's easy to organize and backup on a mozy account for example. Great to archive bank statement or pay slips. easy to set up. Organize them in their correct order, feed them to the scanner in batches of 10 or so (i wish it would accept larger amount of paper at once) and it will scan it on both sides very quickly. you can then thrash all the paper and get rid of the huge filing cabinets.
The original scanner shipped with a one of the duplex sides all messed up, so I e-mailed Amazon, got an RMA and a new device, dropped the broken one into the box the new one came in, printed out the shipping label and send it back, and the new one was everything I could hope for. In my opinion, this is an amazing product for people on the road who get "hard copies" of documents and documentation and want to digitize them, and it's a wonderful full duplex scanner for anyone who wants to digitize old medical records, etc.
Electronic organization is anothor thing. It's scanned. Got a two page document. I am the first to admit that I am horrible when it comes to paper management and physical item organization. If something goes in crooked as it is scanning, no worries. Way to go Fujitsu.
The unit self corrects the scanned image to one that is perfectly straight. Put the blank sides facing each other and voila. Lo and behold it knows which orientation each page is and saves it that way in the pdf file. No way." :-). Brilliant, brilliant little machine. Our health care statements come in double sided: one side is portrait & one is landscape. Think of it like sending a document through a fax machine memory.
As I showed them the features I kept hearing, "No way. I demonstrated this to a couple of co-workers and they have already ordered ones for themselves. If I had one design I would like to change on it is the side height on the paper tray feeder but who cares as it straightens out anything that goes in crooked. This beautiful piece of technology is slowly but surely liberating me from the paralyzing piles of paper stacked here and there. The filing software that comes with it is easy to use. This scanner is unbelievably quick.
But it scans both sides.
