Fujitsu ScanSnap S300 Color Mobile Scanner

I bought this scanner to scan bills, receipts, etc. It works great! It is fast and compact. However I was very surprised to learn after I bought it that it does not have TWAIN drivers which means you have to use the software that comes with the device. This is not a problem for me but may be a problem for some who need the scanner to work within an application. Otherwise I am very satisfied with the scanner and its performance to date.

LIke so many others, I was looking for an inexpensive scanner. I was debating with myself for months on a Canon and then recently stumbled across the Fujitsu. Since I wanted it mainly to get a zillion documents hanging around into the computer, after reading the reviews, I decided to spend the $260. Im running Vista 32. Installation was a snap. Scanning takes seconds. The Organizer is terrific. I am so glad I spent the extra money. Ill use it mainly hooked up to power, but I can see that if youre travelling, it would be a snap to take along. This thing is fabulous!

This product works the way it is advertised. I love it because it is easy to setup and scan documents. The double sided capability, the color option, and automatically straightening documents are the best options. The 10-sheet capability is perfect for most of the documents I need to scan. It is lightweight and doesnt take up a lot of space on my desk. I purchased Visioneer products in the past, but had many problems with them and had to reinstall the scanner and software many times. I finally got fed up with it and decided to try something else. I havent had it very long, but we scan as many documents as we can to our server to save on paper. It has worked very well so far.

The Fujitsu scanner is a fabulous tool, especially now that our company is Going GREEN with respect to submitting files to Head Office. No more need to send invoices and files via Snail Mail.Also making my job easier as this unit is totally portable and can scan documents right in the clients homes. Great and will recommend this to other colleagues!!!

I love it. Very fast. Easy to hook up. Small enough to pack it around with a laptop. Did a descent job of copying a photograph.SOOOO much better than my flatbed scanner. GRC

Weve been using these portable scanners at work for a couple years. They are very compact, scan quickly, and help us perform our jobs much more efficiently. The only draw backs...Ive not figured out how to scan pictures in jpeg format and they should sell the scanner with a carrying case.

A great product for its time

Best desktop scanner Ive ever used. Does double-sided. Powers off of either the wall plug or the computer USB (i.e. its portable!). Scans less rapidly when on USB power. Used mine for several years. Only problem is the sheet holder extension which easily breaks if you arent gentle with it. I highly recommended this product.

This got great reviews everywhere...and I must say it works great for me. The big deal is the built in PDF generation which is super fast and with a setting or two adjusted to just a little higher resolution than the defaults I find I can pretty much read even the smallest print with ease. My only complaint is that for some smaller documents it does not always pull through fully straight..however there is a software function to deal with it and it works ok most of the time. Some documents (like thermal rcpt paper) are a little hard for it to handle. If the first pass doesnt get it right and a REALLY want to keep the scanned copy I will take a sheet of paper and tape the receipt to it to act as a holder .. this works well. I tried inserting small docs into a plastic carrier like a sheet protector..the the plastic is a bit too slick for the rollers to handle reliably. For anyone wanting to purge a lot of paper that piles on your desk and store it electronically this is a great tool. The dual-sided scanning is very fast. The ornanizing app they supply w/ the scanner is ok ... and supposedly indexes the PDF files from the scanner on words it sees..Ive not messed with this too much but what little I have seems to work as advertized.

After purchasing three other brand name portable scanners that either would not function as advertised or functioned below par I took a chance and purchased the Scansnap S300. I was amazed. It was actually easy to install and use. Scans are fast and accurate. I would recommend this scanner to anyone who needs portability and wants to keep their desk uncluttered and organize important documents.
