Very Small and Versatile
This is the smallest version of the Fujitsu Scan Snap line. Its size allows you to easily set up/put away without much trouble. Comes with everything you need. We got both a USB and USC cords, and we connected it to a HP Streamer (like a chrome book). The downloaded software is what makes the device. You can set it up to scan to a cloud, send to email, etc. It works great. You can scan business cards, identification, documents – single sided, double sided, in color or black/white, and create pdfs. Have had this model for nearly 4 years. Worth the money for sure! Great value.

I Hesitated to Buy Because of the Price. Big Mistake! Great Product!
As I mentioned in the title, I hesitated to buy one of these. I thought about it off and on for months, and couldn’t quite pull the trigger on the price. It seemed expensive, and why would I want to pay that much for a simple scanner? Especially when I already had a flatbed scanner in my office that would work just fine? Eventually, however, I got tired of the limitations of the flatbed scanner, and wanted more! So I bought it, and I don’t regret it!A lot of the product reviews on here have already touched on the majority of the features of the scanner. So I will just quickly go over them. The best reasons to buy this scanner, over a flatbed / other scanner? Here’s why:- Automatic color detection- Automatic size / crop detection- Automatic duplex / simplex detection- Automatic rotate detection- Multiple page sizes in a single scan (again, all detected)- Automatic OCR (Optical Character Recognition) after scanning- Automatic key / tag detection and sorting- FAST!While it’s a scanner, and it scans (duh!), it’s the corresponding software that makes it amazing. The scanner is nicely compact, with two scan heads inside of it, to be able to scan both sides of the page at the same time. But it’s the fact that once it’s scanned, it’s run through some filters to automatically detect and perform all of the above functions. And best of all, it’s all done before you’ve gotten your next stack ready to scan! And even better, since it comes complete with a built in ADF (Automatic Document Feeder), you can scan a whole stack of pages, rather than one at a time through a different scanner. The manual states that the ADF can hold 10 pages (I think). But I was able to get about 18 pages stacked together for it. So, that means that in one shot, it could scan 36 pages (double sides of the 18 physical pages). Awesome!Now, there is one slight negative that I’ve been wrestling with a bit. Unfortunately, the included software (ScanSnap Organizer) does not allow you to set up the organizer to point to a network file share. This may not be a huge deal for some, but it does limit some of the capabilities of a larger, networked company (or home). Many people prefer to have all of the files on a centralized network, so that they could collaborate with others, or access the files on a variety of devices. ScanSnap does not allow this. However, it does allow some workarounds, which include creating a shortcut to the network folder, etc. But they’re a bit kludgy, and don’t work perfectly. In addition, if the folders are saved on a network drive, and indexed on that computer, ScanSnap will be unable to find the files through it’s search utility, even those it states that it’s using Windows built in search utility. This doesn’t make sense, as you could click on Start -> (Search), if running Windows 7, and find the networked files that way using your search criteria. Yet from within ScanSnap Organizer, it doesn’t find these files using the same search string. Oh well.Either way, despite some minor limitations, this thing is great! It works great, it’s fast, you can buy consumable materials for it (pick / pad) after using it for awhile instead of having to buy another scanner, and the included software leaves the files in a standard Windows directory format, so you’re never locked into having to stick with a proprietary format for the rest of the life of your files.If you’re thinking about buying it, stop thinking – BUY IT! It’s well worth it, and your uncluttered office (and wife!) will thank you.

Fantastic scanner! Easy to use, bug-free, and no bloatware
I bought this on the recommendation of my boss who, like me, had struggled for years keeping file cabinets, receipts, and all his business documents organized. Watching him declutter his office – and especially his newfound ability to instantly provide any archive I might ask for – convinced me he was on to something with this scanner. I ordered one and couldn’t be happier with it.As a computer programmer, I have a very low tolerance for crappy software. I’m very pleased to report that the included software with this device is great. It doesn’t try to install a bunch of ad-laden bloatware (although I did not install all the included stuff like Evernote, but I can attest you have to proactively choose to install it, it doesn’t automatically load it) like slow browser toolbars or Java runtime (it’s a native app). The boot/startup time of my system was unchanged after installation. And the software isn’t noticeable until you press the “scan” button. Then when you’re done, it politely goes away. Thank you, Fujitsu, for designing this device for your customers and not for your marketing partners!!!As far as using it, it’s very simple. The software has an Office 2007 feel to it, replete with ribbon bar. It’s very easy to change the default settings to your taste (and pretty much everything can be altered, even the default filename created when you scan). The document manager is intuitive and simple: you just scan a doc and drag it to whatever cabinet it belongs in. A really lovely quality is that the cabinet and folder structure in the manager utility matches the folders in your file system, so you can easily access your scans using a regular file viewer (as in to open in Adobe Reader directly). This also makes backups easy – just point your favorite cloud backup provider to the folder and go.Regarding the scanner part: the scans are very good quality, and the OCR function works seamlessly. This isn’t likely to be your scanner of choice for high-res family photos you want to archive (although I scanned some photos and the quality was very good on them), but it is a good general purpose scanner. Keep in mind it’s primarily built for paperless document management. And in general, I’m a believer in the principle of building products to do one thing, and do it really well, and in this regard, this scanner succeeds perfectly.My only gripe is that documents (especially flimsy papers) can slide off-track pretty easily. I’ve found that simply holding it steady while the scanner pulls it in a bit to setup the scan makes the document scan straighter. The crookedness isn’t a huge deal (especially for receipts) because the software does a great job of straightening and cropping the output, but it can be problematic on larger papers where the angle interferes with pulling the document into the scanner. Thankfully, the larger docs aren’t as likely to lean as small, flimsy receipts. Still, the next version would benefit from having more robust adjustable tracks to hold the documents straight.In conclusion, this is an awesome little device that does its job very well. It’s a product built to be used, not as a vehicle for marketing other services. If you’re looking at that shoebox full of receipts or the banker’s box fill with old invoices and credit card statements, do yourself a favor and order this thing!!

Does that job. Same software as the bigger scanners. Page alignment is not as good though. Slower if powered by USB. Overall happy.

My previous scansnap had given about 15 years of solid service and was still going strong, but could not handle the latest OS on my Mac. Hence the need for an upgrade. I did not need a machine with the same level of functionality as the previous model (I don’t scan as much as i used to) and this seemed to fit the bill.It seems less ‘solid’/’robust’ than the previous model (S510M), but is way cheaper and far more compact, which really helps.The most important thing is that it scans perfectly, it was a breeze to set up and the software seems to be far more intelligent.Overall seems to be excellent value for money.

Perfect home scanner for me. Most of my scanning is business documents of 5 to 10 pages. Set up is a bit clunky but once you have the software installed it really is easy to use. Documents are scanned very quickly and ready to be saved as a pdf. The convenience and speed are really worth the extra $$.

Es un excelente escaner, aun y cuando es muy pequeño, tiene muy buena velocidad y funciones muy practicas.

It seems like the ScanSnap does not hold your preferance for single sided copying so you have to keep resetting which is a little painful but others a GREAT little assert to any (home) office. I love it and it has made me much more productive now I’m working from home and not the office. Well worth the price. So much easier than using a flat bed scanner and quite quick.
