Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Fujitsu ScanSnap S300 Color Mobile Scanner
Customer Review: Works as advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the only product I've ever purchased that worked exactly as advertised. Within 2 minutes I went from unboxing to scanning (not including reboot time).
I did extensive research before purchase, and it looked like there would be no option of buying a reliable ADF scanner for less than $400-500, and my intention was to get the Fujitsu S510, but saw this and thought it would be just as good (granted, slower speed and less sheets, but it's portable).
HP scanners just have the marketing, they are garbage based on what I've owned before and what I've seen in all the reviews. If you want a reasonably priced ADF, you won't get it for $99, spend the $250 and get this one... remember, you get what you pay for.
In three days I scanned almost 3000 documents, I may have gotten a paper jam every 200-300 docs which is very easy and fast to fix.
I have zero *major* complaints about this product, I do wish it had TWAIN drivers so I could use it with Photoshop easier, but my primary use for this is document archiving so it's no big deal.
Customer Review: Great for field use & general home use.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a portable scanner to use for property management. This scanner works great when I'm out in the field with clients. Just connect power and communications USB cables to my laptop running on batteries, and I'm able to save off any documents I need without being concerned with power for the scanner. Takes a few seconds before the power indicator shows it's ready, but the actual scanning is still fast. The Card Minder software to scan business cards works great also. The export to Outlook worked seamlessly. Found myself digitizing all my important personal papers at home as well. So easy to use, my kids use it for their school assignments. They make copies of worksheets and study guides to work with on the computer instead of fumbling with the paper copies. Also great for all of us to share documents by either e-mailing or faxing to clients, business partners, contractors, and class mates. Awesome scanner, highly recommend whether you need a portable scanner or not. Takes very little desk space and does a great job. Great tool for low cost.Customer Review: What a machine!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have rarely been this excited and pleased with a piece of electronic equipment. This is, without doubt, one of the best office machine purchases I have ever made. ScanSnap was a 'snap' to set up and start using. It occupies otherwise unusable space on my desk, is simple to use (insert document, press button) and has worked flawlessly thus far. I've tested on color photos as well. 5x7 scanned to a 152kb PDF file and looks great. Business card scanning software works well too.
If I need to copy a document, I can scan and print right from my desk. If I need to scan and email, piece-of-cake two step process. Scan and store, just as simply. Only draw back is less exercise. No more trips to the central copy/fax/scanner to run a couple page job for me!
Best feature? It is small and light enough for me to carry along on road trips and can be powered from my notebook computer's USB port. With this, my notebook PC, portable printer and mobile broadband dongle I can load up the RV and still be a complete office almost anywhere.
Customer Review: Super Scanner
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this scanner! It is small enough (11"x3.5" x3.5" high) to live on the desk beside the computer in my very small office. It unfolds to support a regular sheet of paper; turns on instantly when unfolded; and can scan anything from a piece of typing paper to the smallest, thinnest credit card receipt. It simultaneously scans both sides, and automatically attaches pages as you feed them one after the other. This little gem makes scanning a joy, rather than a chore.
I only found two downsides: 1) I didn't see anything in the advertising that indicated it would only work with Windows, and not Mac. For me that worked out well, but if you ONLY have a Mac, be careful which version you buy. My understanding is that the 300M is for use with a Mac. 2) The piece you are scanning must be able to bend a bit to feed through the scanner. This will not scan stiff or thick material. For that you need a flat screen.
I received this scanner as advertised--in like-new condition, all components still wrapped and in the original box.
Customer Review: Fabulous scanner with even better software included.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one of these and tried it out. Worked so incredibly well I bought one for my other office (to have one on each desk). Worked so well three of my employees/colleagues wanted one. Got them all one. I am a long time believer scanning to save important notes on my computer rather than paper. This simply is the best scanner I've ever used. Easy to use, easy to understand, and the software that comes with it is the best scanning software I have ever seen or used(esp for the purpose of scanning notes and keeping them organized in a filing system). I've been using Scansoft for scanning needs. For scanning notes you intend to file and keep on your computer, this is so much better. In fact, it's so much better for rapidly turning anything into a PDF.
Update: I've been using two of these units now for over a month. They are fantastic and I like the software that comes with them even better than I did at first (and that was a lot). Fantastic equipment. Very usable, friendly, fast, and well thought through.
