My conventional HP scanner (actually, it wasn't that traditional) died a few months ago and it was time for me to net a unique one. I accidently came across the predecessor to the ScanScap S1500 (the S510) last week while I was having my taxes done and was amazed at the run and compactness of it. My tax person also gave it attractive reviews. As I wasn't aware that Fujitsu manufactured scanners, I plan I'd do a petite research which led me to reviews of the S510 here on Amazon. Rather amazingly, I was very surprised to derive that the S510 had so many extraordinarily high reviews (something that I don't have I approach across too often, especially with items such as scanners) . One of those reviews mentioned that a current model (this one - the S1500) had honest been released by Fujitsu. After some more research (it wasn't yet listed on Amazon), I found that this scanner was available and that it had many fresh features. As it turns out, I was the "first kid on my block" to come by one and I'm satisfied I did! This machine is astonishing!
The run is absolutely blinding - an unbelievable 20 pages per microscopic but, because it scans both sides of a page at the same time, double sided documents scan at 40 PAGES PER Slight! Wow! As with previous models, this scanner is very puny and appears to be well built: it's quite heavy for its cramped size and fits very nicely on my dinky computer desk. The scanning quality is equally spectacular - it scans up to 600 dpi in color, grayscale, and shaded and white and mine came with a pleasant assortment of software (Adobe Acrobat 9, Rack2-Filer, and ABBYY FineReader) . It scans documents beautifully! While I've been too busy scanning the billions of pieces of paper that have cluttered my life for years (this scanner will actually do that lickety-split and efficiently - something I've always fair dreamed would be possible), I haven't yet tried to scan photos; I suspect that this scanner will do a helpful job but that another type of scanner would probably do better for archival purposes) .
The only problems I've had were with Acrobat (I already have Acrobat 9 Pro on my computer) - I found that importing previously scanned documents into Rack2-filer were always listed in reverse order (ugh!) and Fujitsu tech abet replicated the plight. They suggested, however, that I completely uninstall (not unprejudiced repair) Acrobat and reinstall it. That did the job. BTW, I received large tech attend from Fujitsu.
One provocative thing is that this scanner does not arrive with TWAIN drivers. Because of this, it is not possible to consume it to the same extent as other scanners. Impartial the same, my reason for getting this scanner was to effect .pdf files and this scanner does it like no other.
Overall, I'm thrilled with the Fujitsu S1500 - there is no quiz that it is the best one I've had (and I've had many) and is well worth the money (the S1500 is also the most expensive scanner I've ever purchased) . I would recommend this to anyone who needs to scan documents.
I have scanned about 8000 sheets so far. I have found these settings capable with rack2filer:
1. Auto color detection, Duplex, Best image quality (300dpi Color/Grey 600dpi BW), Options [Only Blank page removal checked (no auto rotation - slows down page viewing) ], Continuous scanning.
2. Same as above except change color mode to gray.
And in general I have found:
The multifeed detector works gargantuan and has detected many double feeds. It handles used thin thermal fax paper without double feeds - sparkling fantastic, because I would mediate that if anything would spot or double feed it would be that. The prompt shows the image of the detected multifeed and gives you the option of keeping it or discarding it - this has been trustworthy when it detects sticky notes on scanned paper that are supposed to be there.
It has handled many weak papers - barely legible and has done an adequate job picking up light print.
Very light or conventional papers with light print or pencil hand writing are better handled by forcing the color detection to grey. Otherwise Auto everything works well.
Blank page detection - does not work with the other side of lined loose leaf paper or graph paper that has nothing written on it. That is to be expected - but a possible build improvement concept for this product. And to derive around this, I have situation the scanning side to single-sided. Otherwise blank page detection worked well.
Scans looked exactly like the originals and in rack2 filer the binders read and looked as well as the paper binders.
When it does quandary (which was rarely the scanners fault and mostly from staples, taped paper or over loading), the prompt shows the last few pages scanned which makes it easy to recover.
Fanning and creating a step-like pattern of your paper stack before loading the paper makes a vast dissimilarity in preventing paper jams.
Some of the advantages:
I can buy many binders worth on information with me on my notebook without dragging the heavy paper binders in my bag - or one of those wheeled bags that my colleagues utilize.
There is the security of now being able to have multiple copies of my binders in physically different locations [desktop, notebook, and off dwelling backups] all without using a copy machine.
I need less plot for file cabinets [files], bookshelves [binders], and thus less office place.
Everything is now in one plot. My office is too tiny to have all my binders and files together, but now they all fit in one folder on my hard drive.
Although I will calm exercise paper to write on, I don't foresee a reason to ever need to bind or file papers anymore. Honest acquire notes, scan, and recycle.
The real images for Rack2Filer and CardMinder are in PDF files so if anything happens with Rack2filer - you can always access the data via windows explorer and acrobat.
I have old NeatWorks for my accounting (receipts), documents, and business cards for about a year now. The mobile scanner scans at 3 ppm sad and white and 2ppm color - single sided only. So for duplex color ScanSnap is (20ppm x 2) /2ppm = 20x faster - a substantial improvement. The NeatWorks software is also heavy and stupid compared to Rack2filer and CardMinder.
However, NeatWorks is better than ScanSnap organizer or Rack2filer for receipts. And it can import the PDF scans from the S1500. So, I recommend using NeatWorks software (not the NeatWorks/Desk scanner) for receipts, Rack2Filer for documents and CardMinder for Business cards.
Our office has about six of the predecessor to this scanner -- the S510. They are extremely steady and do exactly what they promise. When it came time to score another scanner, I immediately looked for a Fujitsu and found this newer model. I ordered it and got exactly what I expected - a very steady scanner that needs very diminutive babying. We've been very ecstatic with the Fujitsu scanners and will continue to glance to them whenever we have a scanning need.
