Reviews around product (4.56 of 5)

  • This is a great product that I use on the road with various clients.
  • It is a serious intentional detrimental product decision that Fujitsu would make such an amazing piece of hardware and then decide that the only software that can talk to it directly is ScanSnap Manager
  • This is a great product - compact - easy to install, with multiple scanning options
  • This scanner keeps malfunctioning, whenever I turn this product on it never works, it always says that I disconnected the driver when it is perfectly connected, other girl in my office has the same scanner and hers never has the same issues that mine has, witch leads me to believe that I received a defective product, it has gotten to the point where in order for the product to work I have to uninstall the software and then install it again witch is a total waste of time and makes my job so much harder
  • When they will not support their product except by monthly payments.

Reviews around job (4.56 of 5)

  • As others have said the output tray does a poor job of catching the paper
  • When you try to scan multiple pages it often fails because the feeder does a poor job of separating pages
  • It does a poor job of handling long receipts and differnt size pages
  • Does a great job but has connection issues with the wireless.
  • This scanner is easy to use, small in size but does a great job.

Reviews around work (4.54 of 5)

  • This is a great scanner, very practical and easy to configure, to use and a bliss working with it.
  • I had a perfectly good, working scanner until Fujitsu pulled the plug on a driver for the latest OS.
  • Amazing how fast this scanner works and with clear and concise reproductions.
  • I just purchased this to replace my older version S500 that gave me 11 years of hard and faultless work, but eventually gave up the ghost this week.
  • After some support from Fujitsu the Scansnap application works well with NEAT and my receipt processing.

Reviews around quality (4.53 of 5)

  • It is fast, high quality, software is great and easy to use
  • We had been using a multi task machine for scanning and were not having good results with poor quality documents.
  • But quality aside, their technical support was probably the bigger issue.
  • Scans are fast and the quality is very good (this is adjustable in the software settings).
  • I've given this scanner a couple of months to work out kinks and potential user error, but it simply does not work as it should.

Reviews around way (4.38 of 5)

  • Understandable, but I’d like to have an easy way to remove certain sheets from the file before saving
  • I've given this scanner a couple of months to work out kinks and potential user error, but it simply does not work as it should.
  • I'm sure others will be missing as
  • With a tiny bit of maintainence (cleaning the feeder roller and lenses) they are the fastest most efficient way of getting rid of paper ever!
  • There's no working support number or any way I've been able to find to get support.

Reviews around image (4.30 of 5)

  • And if you scan to JPG, you are always prompted for 2 extra steps to save the files into other than the default directory after every scan sequence, and it can happen quite easily that you unintentionally can erase the so-far scanned images
  • I'm sure others will be missing as
  • This scanner is super fast and the images come out very clean.
  • The images are quite good, particularly for business use.
  • the images are great and it scans both sides of the paper at once

  • And right out of the box the damn thing could not feed papers straight
  • The last thing, which honestly could be the best, is they just work
  • This thing is the best thing that could have ever happened to our law firm
  • This thing scans them so fast and hasn't missed a single one

Reviews around use (4.26 of 5)

  • The AC adapter is missing, so we can’t use it
  • The biggest shortcoming with this is that while it can be used over WiFi the setup is clunky at best (requiring connection by USB to initially set up) and it isn't really "networkable" in that it is connected to ONLY ONE COMPUTER at a time
  • Fast, easy and able to connect to send the scans directly to HUBDOC using scansnap cloud (free account) or easily switch back to scanning to my computer or email.
  • This is, hands down, the best scanner I have ever used!!!
  • This is, without a doubt, the BEST scanner I have EVER used.

Reviews around machine (4.19 of 5)

  • This is a great machine, makes everything SO much easier!
  • This is my fifth machine not because one stopped working but because people begged me to leave it with them at different locations.
  • This machine is great, I completely digitized my family's documents completely
  • but as I am now converting all paper files and material to PDFs this machine is easy to work worth.
  • I've given this scanner a couple of months to work out kinks and potential user error, but it simply does not work as it should.

Reviews around feature (3.96 of 5)

  • The mobile app scanning is a nice feature when you don't want to mess with the computer
  • Small profile, can scan direct to cloud services without computer attached which is a must more useful feature than it sounds on paper
  • It has a reasonable-looking feature list, but nearly every feature is flawed in some way that makes it unpleasant to use.
  • I love the business card scanning feature, makes a spreadsheet for you!
  • I've given this scanner a couple of months to work out kinks and potential user error, but it simply does not work as it should.

  • The software is abysmal but has actually gotten better.
  • It is a great, fast, durable scanner and the software that comes with it is very user friendly.
  • I scan a lot, and to date, the software has not become unstable
  • But.. The software can suck from time to time, mostly when updates are done

Reviews around paper jam (1.74 of 5)

  • Otherwise put some object in from of tray to support paper as it comes out.
  • It seamlessly handles paper jams and can pick right back up where it got stuck
  • I hope they don't break as we have to adjust the width to accommodate small cards and standard paper frequently.
  • I've given this scanner a couple of months to work out kinks and potential user error, but it simply does not work as it should.
  • I scanned one whole file drawer in about 3 hours without one paper jam

Reviews around drive (1.38 of 5)

  • From my Mac I put the documents into the cloud as well as a external hard drive.
  • From my Mac I put the documents into the cloud as well as a external hard drive.
  • The documents scan to pdf and are then easily stored in electronic files (backed up in a dual core hard drive onsite and in cloud storage offsite)
  • The software bundle is adequate for what I want (saving to a local external hard drive), though it has options for scanning to email, Google Drive, etc., and given how the rest of the thing has performed I feel confident that that would work well too
  • Accommodates multiple places to scan to, flash drive, email, hard drive etc.
