FUJITSU BUMMER,
by Joseph Schofield, 2010-03-08

Hi.
My old Fujitsu scansnap worked just fine until upgrading to a Windows 7 machine. The following is my tech support inquiry and subsequent reply:

I've been through the Fujitsu website and I cannot determine how to run my older Fujitsu Scansnap model # fi-5110EOX2 on a new machine.
It ran fine on 32 bit Win XP. I am unable to run it with existing software on a new machine (64 bit - WIN 7).
Following some webpage instructions, I downloaded a Vista upgrade prior to trying to install the WIN 7 upgrade, but the Vista software wouldn't run on the 64 bit platform.
Is this older scansnap machine incompatible with WIN 7?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!


We do not have Windows 7 drivers for the fi-5110EOX2 and do not have plans on releasing drivers for this model. We support our scanners for 5 years after they have been discontinued and this model has been discontinued for more then this period of time. Please look into upgrading to the S1500
Thank you

How is that for B.S.? The recommended "upgrade" is well over $400.
Small business not requiring high speed scanning? Try a 1200 dpi flatbed for < $75.
Works just fine.

Anyone like to buy a quite functional fi-5110EOX2 scansnap?

 

Fantastic Scanner,
by D. Asher, 2010-03-08

We started out with one of these fantastic little scanners and have now added 3 more. We use them to scan documents and nothing that we have ever used works better. Recently we added one to scan photographs of homes that we insure and although the type and quality of the photographs varies from good to poor, this scanner allows us to scan them into an electronic file and the result is a scanned photo that is just as good as the original. Due to the differing size and type of pictures we do them one at a time. For documents, however we are able to put a small stack into the scanner and the automatic feed pulls them though with the press of a button. The software that comes with the scanner enables duplex scanning of documents into file storage or conversion into MS Office programs with ease. The OCR works well also This is one of the best, easy to use and inexpensive (for the work it does) small desktop scanners on the market. We love them and will be buying more as the need arises.

 

ScanSnap is a Snap to use!,
by Michael Lafferty, 2010-03-07

I purchased the ScanSnap to make scanning business documents easier for my customers to read and reduce the hassle of faxing. I had an "All In One Printer" and was scanning each sheet individually; it was slow and cumbersome to use. The ScanSnap is so much better it is hard to describe: faster scanning, saves to the computer faster and does both sides of a page automatically. In addition, it takes up a small foot print, it was simple to set up and has good customization software for scanning typical documents (invoices, bills, business licenses, etc.) and , did I mention, it does all of this fast! I plan on purchasing another to begin archiving old documents that we are required to keep for 10 years. I highly recommend this product.

 

Businessmen, this is the best...,
by RLeone, 2010-03-06

I have held off from buying scanners for years. I knew I had a big case coming up wherein I would be scanning literally 100's of sheets of paper...applications, approvals, proofs and so forth...
I began looking for a scanner that would do this effortlessly and began reading all about scanners...canons, HP's, epsons and on and on. I saw a very expensive Fujitsu in a friends office that was scanning about as quick as he could shove stuff through it. I knew that was the feature I needed...so I began reading about Fujitsu. Well, the scanner he had cost about 1800 bucks, but the S1500 cost 400 bucks and seemed to do most of the same things the more expensive one did. In any event, it sure beat the pants off the one-page-at-a-time desktops that I automatically have with my HP printers. So, I ordered the Scansnap 1500. It arrived from Amazon in about 3 days. I plugged it in, stuck in the software and bingo, it was ready to go. It is about the size of one of those specialty bread loafs sold at the grocery store...you know, the 12 multi-grain stuff. It opens with the lifting of 2 flaps...the lifting turns it on (shuts it off when you close the flaps). Instant on. will scan 50 sheets... when done, it gives you a screen that says "save to folder" or "email". Click on it. If the scanned material is too big for its email memory..you have to save it to a folder, go into your word documents, and send it from there. I have high speed phone lines. All 50 pages zip right through...and saves the sent email in your Outlook so you have a nice proof. In the past 25 days (which is about as long as I have had it) I have scanned maybe 500 to 600 pages. some as big as 50 pages, and some as small as 2. It has not failed once. For the average small Businessman (real estate, insurance, accounting, mfg. rep.), I can't see that 400 bucks is too large of an investment into something that demonstrates this much quality. And it does color too. I did try a couple of photos.. Not being a bit photo buff, they looked fine to me, but I could tell that they were not 100% quality reproductions, so I think that a slower scanner might be better for photos...
but, if you were scanning some pix to send to grandma or a photo of a building that you were working on for a client, it would be just fine. I give this a 100% satisfaction rating.

 

Great Little Scanner -- How Do You Turn Off "Doc-Auto-Open"?,
by D. Hsu, 2010-03-05

Our office needs a second scanner so this is what we bought. This unit is surprisingly small (which is a good thing).

Took less than 10 minutes from opening the box to scanning. Very easy and intuitive to set up and use. I'm scanning only documents into the pdf format, mostly black and white, nothing fancy. Fast scanning!

The only annoyance is -- the scanned pdf file is automatically open on the computer screen. This remains the case even after de-selecting "show scan result." Does anyone know how to turn off this function?
