The Always On function hahahaa WOW thats just so amazing. I use always on lightbulb technology so I dont have to bother with tiresome switches, if its ever dark it's still light - thanks to Always On lightbulbs! call now!!
In the 18 months we have had this scanner, being used at least 5 times/week., I have had one jam and that was in the first few tries when we first got it. Every bill and other document is easily and speedily scanned - both sides at once.
This unit is very easy to use if you want to scan just a few pages. If you want to scan more than 10 pages forget it. It jams, grabs several sheets at a time or grinds trying to grab a page. The software is a pain unless you want to save every document in MyDocuments. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it.
If you notice the Tiger CEO has removed the output tray so the pages fall right on his desk. And for good reason; the pages tend to sometimes get hung up on output tray mechanism. Also, no way this unit holds 50 pages. If you stuff that many pages into the feeder, it will pull doubles and jam. Usually 25 pages and you're okay. Fast as anything though; amazing.
The Canon costs more, holds less paper, inferior bundled, software, & has only works in Windows. I wouldn't trade the Scansnap for that even if the price were the same & you offered $200 on top of it.
I own one and it is THE BEST. I can scan stacks of photos as high quality .jpeg, I can scan single sided docs, double sided, color, black and white, rarely ever jams, and scans QUICK, directly into .pdf--and will even convert text into searchable text in searchable pdf format. Great price, too. I apid $100 more a year ago.
At close to $500 it's a complete ripoff. you can buy a $90 scanner with document feeder for less than $200 and have it do the same thing!
For this price, (and I haven't found this feature in a scanner yet), it should have the option to use OCR to recognize the first line in the document and use that line to name the PDF file automatically.
Also, if you delete "blank pages", remember to manually adjust your table of contents later, it will be thrown off.
most of these higher end scanners are over $1,000. this is actually a really good deal. the cheap ones have small ADFs and jam constantly. plus it comes with Adobe Acrobat 8 which costs nearly as much as the scanner itself
I don't really understand your question, but I'm going to answer you this. I've used this bad boy at work, all you do is load it in reverse side and upside down, and then wait for it to scan everything, then it gives you a whole bunch of options like scan to printer, and scan to folder etc. and then you pick the folder one, and presto! It lets you combine the pdf's you've created aswell. I'm no expert, and you probobly knew everything I allready typed, if that's the case, sorry for wasting your
I think you have to organize them yourself, however, you get the full version of Adobe 8 with the scanner. That program alone is expensive. If you look at that on top of everything else, it really isn't a bad deal. It really does come in handy if you have a lot of paper coming in and out of your home or office.
I picked up a guillotine of doom to lop off the spines of the books and magazines I scan with my ScanSnap. Handles like 100 pages at a time, and works great! :D
THis actuall nice too. But How Can I scan a book? I'll have to tear each one of them. IS there other scanner that is fast and it will convert it to pdf?
I read somewhere that this scanner doesn't have Twain drivers. How much control do you have over the output? Can you scan to an image format rather than PDF?
there are other scanners out there, dont just go for the first company to waste its profits on advertising to tell you about their products and not necessary the best product for your needs!
If so, how? Is it wireless? It looks wireless. Is it wireless?
What is the suggested Computer Platform? XP?
Is it flatbed, too? Does it turn into a flat-bed scanner?
Tell your bosses that in China and Asia there are so many viruses on the web that many files and computer drives are lost. Paper therefore still remains the best way to go.

Fujitsu=unreliable equipment, this will over heat!
Working in Fujitsu services-UK, a very incompetent company, fujitsu systems always freeze! Working an government account, if the government knew how their systems are being held together, with false promises by fuji managers covering their tracks Gorden Brown wouldnt renew their contracts! Working a keying center where security checks on people are not made and fraud by obtaining addresses is consistent worry and always masque by the managers!
I wish you could have demoed that it does different size documents including photos and business cards. And explain how it actually OCRs the scans to make them searchable. Fujitsu's top machines (up to $20,000) will take a pile of any documents, all sizes to 11x17. You throw them into a tray and it creates the searchable PDFs. Including photos and everything, at 120ppm!
And why did you have to keep moving the laptop out of the way?
Thank you

It depends on how much paper you have to scan and how much your time is worth.
It will take you literally for ever to scan in a stack of paper and bills using a $90 scanner.
The scansnap will make it a breeze and fun.
