4.0 out of 5 stars
Nice scanner, with some quibbles,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fujitsu SCANSNAP FI-4110EOX2 ADF SHTFEDSCAN 15PPM USB ( PA03209-B202 ) (Office Product)
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.

Best Document Scanner for the Money!,

This review is from: Fujitsu SCANSNAP FI-4110EOX2 ADF SHTFEDSCAN 15PPM USB ( PA03209-B202 ) (Office Product)
I was hesitant to purchase this scanner after reading the one review which criticized the software driver provided with the Scansnap. I too was concerned over the lack of a twain driver. After careful review and actual scanner use, however, I find that this is not an obstacle to performing functions such as OCR, etc. Since the Scansnap scans to PDF format (it comes with the full version of Adobe Acrobat 5.0), it is extremely easy to import the PDF format to Paperport or Omni Page. Omni page 12.0 does an excellent job of OCR on PDF documents. Paperport 9.0, moreover, now uses PDF as its default scanning format so the transition is seamless. Furthermore, through a simple change in the scansnap software, scansnap will automatically open and scan to paperport, or any other PDF or JPG compatible software program. As for mechanics of scanner operation, what can I say? The Scansnap is lightening fast. Shortly after setting up the scanner, I took a practice run and scanned in a stack of bills, receipts, and statements that were hanging around waiting for more traditional filing arrangements. To my astonishment, I was done in no time. If you want to see for yourself, go to the Fujitsu web site to see a video streamer of just how quickly this little wonder machine works. I can verify that it works as fast as the demo. Like another reviewer, I was delighted to throw away paperwork that usually sits in piles for eternity, and then some. If you have any doubt about flexibility of this scanner, don't. It's simply as good as it gets for the price range. And I've looked at quite a few machines. If you want to have a truly paperless office, BUY THIS MACHINE! 10/12/03- The reviewer who gave a 2-star (above) simply needs to adjust snap scan settings. Further, I have not any problems with the document feed. He may not be loading properly or simply has a machine that requires adjustment or repair. That happens. As for a twain driver, if the goal is document scanning, who needs it? I have not confronted any limitations due to absence of twain driver. Let's face it, there is no other scanner out there at this price that even comes close to the quality and capability of snapscan.

For document scanning it's a champ!,

This review is from: Fujitsu SCANSNAP FI-4110EOX2 ADF SHTFEDSCAN 15PPM USB ( PA03209-B202 ) (Office Product)
Get this for document scanning. That's what it was designed for. And it is hands down the best solution.I was wasting precious time with a flatbed, and found the sheetfed scanners that bend the paper around to be lacking in many ways. "Real" document scanners were priced in the thousands, and used SCSI - something my laptop was not designed for. Then I discovered this gem... Fujitsu seems to have taken their pricy straight-path document scanners and created a more affordable (but not cheap) entry level USB based document scanner that meets my needs perfectly. I've had this machine for less than a week but it was more than enough time to give it a workout. It's even small enough to take with me, so I brought it to a client's home to scan their documents for a refinance. It handled almost every piece of paper I put in it. While it had a tendency to feed multiple pages of some extra-bright paper I had just printed on, I could manually feed the pages a few at a time (wife says just buy cheaper paper) to avoid jams. It even scans checks and business cards. It does a great job on the documents I work with, creating Acrobat PDFs that are compact. It is fast and quiet. Did I mention it can scan both sides of the page at once? It also automatically detects paper size and color so that the documents are scanned at the correct settings. It comes with a full version of Acrobat 5.0.5, and CardMinder for scanning business cards. Just put up to 50 pages in the feeder, press a button, and it goes to work at about 15 pages per minute. If you need to scan and archive documents for your business, get one of these. It ia a bit pricier than other scanners, has no bells and whistles (aside from the bundled software), and not intended for photos, but for my needs, worth the bucks in time savings alone.
