Fujitsu ScanSnap fi-5110EOX2 - Document scanner - Duplex - Legal - 600 dpi - ADF ( 50 sheets ) - Hi-Speed USB Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Scansnap partly because of the glowing reviews here on Amazon, and I not disappointed.Rarely do I find a product worthy of 5 stars, but this little guy deserves it.As noted in some of the other reviews, the ScanSnap is sort of a one trick poney - it is designed to quickly scan and archive documents in PDF.Don't expect it do a good job with photos, and as noted, it won't do a grayscale image.

It's small size, ability to duplex, excellent document feeder, and fast operation make archiving large numbers of documents feasible.The driver software is simple to use, and you can create and save profiles for different scanning needs such as simplex, duplex, color, better quality etc.The profiles make it easy to switch settings on the fly.The vast majority of documents will be legible using the Normal (fastest) settiing, which helps keep file sizes small.For documents with very fine print, I found that the "Better" mode adds enough resolution to make even the smallest text legible.

The ScanSnap Organizer software that ships with the scanner is a simple Paperport-style document manager, in which you can create File Cabinets with Folders to organize your paperwork.What I like about it is that it the folder structure you create in the Organizer is mirrored on your harddrive with a ScanSnap directory and subdirectories named the same as the File Cabinets and Folders you create. You can therefore find your documents by just browsing your harddrive. Because the file format is PDF, you can't stack pages and documents together through the Organizer like you can in Paperport.You have do this in Acrobat and save the file.Organizer doesn't have a lot of advanced features, but I prefer the simplicity of it.

I went through a big pile of personal stuff in about an hour.It sure feels good to put that stack of paper into the shredder.Of course, the downside to archiving documents into digital format and getting rid of the originals (which I suppose is the point of the endeavor) is the possibility of data loss.You'd better adopt a reduntant backup strategy, because hard disc drives can and do fail.I sycnhonize to multiple computers and will write my files to DVD for protection. I suppose if you're really cautious, you could subscribe to one of the online backup services for secure off-site backup.

If you think the price is a little stiff, remember this scannor duplexes, which enormously simplifies the archiving process by eliminating the need to flip and rescan pages.Also, by duplexing, all pages are put into a single file in the proper order.I'd also point out again that the document feeder is truly remarkable in it's ability to feed just about any size and shape with out jamming.You can even do receipts that come on slick thermal paper.Occasionally ScanSnap will make a mistake in page orientation or will crop improperly.I found this happens with half-length documents, which you need to insert sideways to scan properly.

One of the reasons this package was appealing to me is because it comes with Acrobate Standard 7.0.A word of warning -Adobe has seen fit to remove all the form-making features from Acrobat Standard, though they left the ability to insert and remove pages, annotate and comment.If you want the all the great features of Acrobat to create forms, you have to buy the Pro version.
