Rating: - * Misadvertisement by Amazon ... Amazon advertised it as Fujitsu fi-6300 but delivered me a ScnaSnapS510. The retail price listed was for the fi-6300 and the list price was for scansnap. They admit it was an error on their side but what I notice is the picture was changed from what I ordered. I will be very cautious buying through Amazon again. Rating: - * Fujitsu scanner ... This scanner is great. It scans documents as fast as I can feed them in and the software is very helpful. Rating: - * Perfect for less-paper offices ... This thing is a life-saver for attorneys (or other professionals) who are drowning in their own paper. This machine scans FAST, and produces very clean digital PDFs. It comes with Acrobat Standard, which can be upgraded to professional saving you a lot of money (compared to buying professional full version). I'd recommend this scanner to all business people. Rating: - * ScanSnap scanner ... A friend recommended this product as well as Pat Zaby, a well respected, tech expert for realtors. I found it easy to use, quiet, efficient and fast. It's also small and fits on my desk without taking up too much space. Rating: - * Great way to get rid of piles of paper ... We've had the ScanSnap for going on 4 months now, and I'm a complete convert. I'm one of those people who always had piles of mail on his desk. I have no problem opening mail, it's the filing it somewhere afterward that has been a problem for me. So, until we got this thing, bank statements and 'changes in terms' forms and shipping invoices and all manner of things just ended up in piles in my office. Some sitting on top of the filing cabinet. :-) Now, though, I just scan whatever it is and save it to a directory on my computer. The scanner prepends the date and time to the filename it creates when you scan something. So, if you scan a water bill, it will suggest saving it as something like "2008_09_10_14_20.pdf". I keep the year, month and day and would save it as "2008_09_10-WaterBill.pdf" and save it to my UtilityBills directory. I can find things much faster this way than I can in my actual filing cabinet. I shred everything after I've scanned it, and presto - no more piles of paper. The quality of the scans is excellent. I generally leave the text-recognition off (makes smaller files with it off), but I know I could always print the document and re-scan it with text recognition on if I need to make a searchable document. We've also used it to sign forms when our bank emailed us some PDFs. We printed them, signed them, scanned them back as PDFs and emailed them back to the bank. Done! Better quality than a fax machine, too. Scanning-wise, I've had surprisingly little trouble getting multiple sheets of paper to go through properly. In the past, I've always fought with cheap fax machines to get them to feed properly. So far, the paper feeding mechanism on this thing has been wonderful. I highly recommend the ScanSnap if, like me, you have trouble organizing all the paper statements that come in to your life. |
