Summary: 5 Stars
Fujitsu Fi6130 Document Scanner with Automatic Document Feeder.
I don't normally review products but rather rely heavily on the reviews posted on Amazon, perhaps it is time to give something back.
I purchased this scanner not by choice. I was happy with my previous Fujitsu 4120 which I purchased about five years ago. It had served reliably. I upgraded to a Mac running Windows 7. Unfortunately there was no 64 bit driver available for the old scanner, a little peeved, I made the purchase.
It was well worth it. A very significant upgrade with substantial improvements in paper handling, reliability and OCR speed.
I didn't automatically purchase a fujitsu, but rather did my research, considering Kodak, Canon, Visioneer, Epson and Panasonic scanners. I looked at the cheaper fujitsu options but know that having a Twain compatible driver a descent processing chip within machine would be worth the extra money. I had hoped to purchase something mac compatible but the reviews suggested the few mac compatible scanners available performed fairly slowly and not up to par with the available windows options.
I chose the fujitsu because of both twain and ISIS driver availability, making scanning an easy option from multiple programs, the automatic document feeder making document processing a breeze, the duplex capability and the included software, both Kofax VRS and Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0
The unit arrived well packaged in excellent condition. Out of the box, it is solid, small with a very small desktop footprint. Despite its small size, it weighs 15 lbs and is very stable. The design blends without being intrusive. The buttons on the front panel are self explanatory. The automatic document feeder and exit chute collapse into the unit making storage a little tidier.
Set up is easy, plug it in, install drivers on the include CD rom. ( I updated to 64 bit drivers after a very short time, available on the fujitsu website.) Connect with USB cable. Done.
I installed Kofax for document management and the included Acrobat 9.0 standard. I was scanning within a few minutes.
Man, was I impressed.
Even in 32 bit mode, this machine is fast. Documents literally spit out of the feeder. With a 64 bit driver, the feed rate is even faster. That is scanning is duplex mode. The paper path is straight, improving the feed. A small tip to make the process smoother, remove the exit feed shute and place a bin where the documents exit. The documents accumulate neatly after scanning rather than populate an ever increasing pile on the floor.
The automatic document feeder works very smoothly, I have just processed over 650 pages without any misfeeds. The capacity is excellent, around 50 sheets. The ultrasonic feed detection for misfeeds seems valuable. To date I have had very few misfeeds and the few that I have had have related to operator error, twisted sheets of paper, inadvertently inserted rather than any fault of the machine. They were rapidly detected by the document feeder before scanning screeched to a halt. The document feeder is a big functional improvement on my previous fujitsu scanner.
Having Twain and ISIS compatible drivers is a big deal, I have been scanning from within photoshop. I considered some of the cheaper options without Twain drivers and am very glad that I paid the extra money for a twain compatible device. It allows a lot more compatiblity regarding the program you scan from. You are not reliant on only occasionally updated manufacturer written software to run the device.
Typically I run the device using VM ware in Windows 7. It processes documents including OCR in the background, while I continue to work away on the mac.
Overall I am very impressed. I don't have any criticisms, cheaper is always good, but the extra money for Twain drivers and a reliable document feeder was well worth it.
