ScanSnap Fujitsu S1300i Instant PDF Multi Sheet-Fed Scanner Trade Compliant PA03643-B205

This is the smallest version of the Fujitsu Scan Snap line. Its size allows you to easily set up/put away without much trouble. Comes with everything you need. We got both a USB and USC cords, and we connected it to a HP Streamer (like a chrome book). The downloaded software is what makes the device. You can set it up to scan to a cloud, send to email, etc. It works great. You can scan business cards, identification, documents - single sided, double sided, in color or black/white, and create pdfs. Have had this model for nearly 4 years. Worth the money for sure! Great value.

I purchased this scanner to replace a full size do-it-all cannon pixima. The cannon was in the office with my work computer but was connected wirelessly to our home computer in the kitchen. I hate piles of paper - so my plan was to scan incoming documents to our home computer and shred the actual paper. Doing this on the canon took FOREVER and often required many trips back and forth between the kitchen computer and the canon in the office. I finally decided I need a scanner connected directly to our home machine to make it less painful. We have limited desk space in the kitchen so I wanted a machine with a small footprint. I saw the Neat-desk setup at Sams but it was expensive and the reviews poor. After talking to someone at work who owned the neat-desk and told me to avoid it I ruled out that as an option. The reviews for this scanner were almost too good to be true. I purchased it after a night of being particularly angry at my few month old Canon. It took maybe 5 minutes to install the software and hook up. It was a bit smaller than I expected - a bonus in my case. As for the performance all I can say is WOW, what a difference. The scanner turns on when you open the paper feed tray - then you hit the big blue button and like 2 seconds latter you are done. It is so fast and scans both sides at once. I scanned a whole pile of paper that had accumulated in minutes....I was saving that pile to do on the weekend because that is what I had to do with the Canon. I was trying it out after connecting it and it was so fast and simple that I went through the whole pile. I scan everything to PDF and I haven't tried OCR-ing things into WORD because that is not what I wanted t for. All I can say is that it is refreshing wen something works better than expected. As I read in an earlier review It performs best with similar sized sheets. However, I have seen it straighten out a regular sized receipt that got hung up on another page in the stack of paper I put on there and it went through at like a 30 degree angle. The PDF looked as straight as the rest. This thing is small and Fast. Highly recommended.

Does that job. Same software as the bigger scanners. Page alignment is not as good though. Slower if powered by USB. Overall happy.

My previous scansnap had given about 15 years of solid service and was still going strong, but could not handle the latest OS on my Mac. Hence the need for an upgrade. I did not need a machine with the same level of functionality as the previous model (I don't scan as much as i used to) and this seemed to fit the bill. It seems less 'solid'/'robust' than the previous model (S510M), but is way cheaper and far more compact, which really helps. The most important thing is that it scans perfectly, it was a breeze to set up and the software seems to be far more intelligent. Overall seems to be excellent value for money.

Perfect home scanner for me. Most of my scanning is business documents of 5 to 10 pages. Set up is a bit clunky but once you have the software installed it really is easy to use. Documents are scanned very quickly and ready to be saved as a pdf. The convenience and speed are really worth the extra $$.
