Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Fujitsu ScanSnap fi-5110EOX is a sheet-fed color image scanner. It interfaces via a USB 2.0 port, is compatible with an USB 1.1, and can scan at speeds of 0.5 pages per minute in excellent mode. Its super-fast one step function digitizes two-sided documents in a single pass, to scan up to 15 pages per minute. Scan jobs are efficient since the ScanSnap automatically recognizes and deletes blank pages even when scanning combinations of one and two sided documents. Worry-free installation is enabled because of its Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface, and the compact design saves valuable desktop real estate. Its affordable price tag and one-year limited warranty make this an ideal investment for any home or office environment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, September 3, 2004
This review is from: Fujitsu ScanSnap fi-5110EOX Sheet-Fed Scanner with Automatic Document Feeder (Office Product)
This is only the second time I have ever rated an item on Amazon (I started buying here when the company first came on line) - the last time being because the item was so unfailingly bad I thought I owed it to others. This case is just the opposite.

I was looking for a FAST and SIMPLE means of dealing with the need to archive and share paper stuff - both for business and personally. To me, the ideal product would do only that (I already have a multi-function machine, the first product I reviewed on Amazon, and a flat bed scanner) and do it well. I did a little research and decided to test drive the fi-5110E0X.

It took a few minutes to install the software and Acrobat 6.0 standard (provided) on to the server I have at home (1.8G Pentium, 512K memory, Windows 2000 Server). I checked the settings, set the default directory and chose the lowest resolution, duplex scan, auto detect color and auto rotate options, dropped in a sheet of paper and literally in seconds was looking at the PDF.

I was so tickled I ran a few pages through upside down and even cut several pages from a Herrington catalog to test the color and duplex features. Again they were processed flawlessly and in seconds Acrobat had opened and there they were!

My experience on machines like this is that the success or failure ultimately depends on whether the manufacturer gets the software right. When the software works well I actually USE the product as intended (HP can't seem to get the software right to save their lives). In this case Fujitsu really got it right and it seems that Adobe Acrobat has been improved to work seamlessly with a machine like this. On top of it all the machine has a small footprint and simple controls.

Try it - I think you will be pleased.

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful but needlessly limited, February 24, 2005
By 
This review is from: Fujitsu ScanSnap fi-5110EOX Sheet-Fed Scanner with Automatic Document Feeder (Office Product)
The strengths of the ScanSnap are compactness, speed, and duplex scanning. It is well made and does its job well. But it suffers from self-inflicted wounds -- problems that could have been avoided by simple changes in firmware -- that limit its utility needlessly.

While I don't find the lack of a TWAIN driver too much of a handicap, there is a major limitation in its ability to scan many documents well: lack of a grayscale output. Monochrome documents are automatically output as black-and-white (1 bit/pixel). Depending on the typeface, this can severely degrade readability and suitability for OCR. It also means that continuous-tone images reproduce very poorly.

Paper handling is fairly good. It does jam fairly frequently but is easy to clear and usually does not tear up the paper. However, it automatically outputs a file at the end of each batch scanned, which means no more than 50 pages. When scanning a longer document you have to merge successive files.

Don't plan on using your computer for anything else while the ScanSnap is snapping -- it ties up your computer fairly thoroughly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing else like it!, January 31, 2005

This review is from: Fujitsu ScanSnap fi-5110EOX Sheet-Fed Scanner with Automatic Document Feeder (Office Product)
Have had it for around 18 months now (the previous model of Scansnap). Sure it has some quirks (scan quality is not like a flatbed, sometimes doc feeder misbehaves)...but still giving it 5 stars.

This thing is *fast* - joy to watch it work.

Its one of those products that re-defines a category like iPod or Tivo, once you have it, you cannot be without it.

Has had a measurable impact on me over the last year - my college notes, over 10 years old, from the garage are slowly all scanned in, so are half my product manuals and bits of random paper. Its so much easier to search for something sitting comfortably in a chair on your computer looking at PDFs than sifting through dusty papers. I can instantly pull out any bill going back last few years.

Before I bought this I tried a flatbed with an ADF attachment, which was a big waste of time (I think Microtek's). I still use a flatbed for nice color/photograph scans.

Overall, I thought I would use the OCR more than I do - its not worth the extra effort (I even bought Omnipage for this). Acrobat writer that comes bundled is very useful however, more than I would have guessed.

Other minor issues: 1. I ended up replacing the pad assembly at 8k sheets (10k recommended), documents were not getting fed correctly. 2. Sometimes the image is too light, even at the darkest scan setting.

Footprint is good and compact, saves desk space.
