Fujitsu ScanSnap S510 rated 5 out of 5
I love the product. I am using it for home use - the objective is to put all my historic and current filing on to my p.c. In short to have a paperless house.

It appears, and is, very robust so far - I have input about 9000 sheets so far without problem. The very occasional misfeed is inevitably caused by me feeding in a sheet of paper in poor condition. It should be robust of course - just noticed the Fujitsu write up says suitable for light office use and equates that to one thousand sheets a day!!

The facilities offered in terms of paper handling are excellent - different paper sizes, skewed paper or print, paper submitted upside down or sideways etc are all corrected automatically for you. I have run at slow speed which is more than enough for me - on the grounds that this was a one off exercise so I might as well input everything with the best quality. When I experimented initially the higher speeds seemed to work very well too.

The software is really easy to use. Much more so than most printers for example. The facility to convert to searchable files is excellent. I only wish I could use this software on other pdf files I have that were not created by ScanSnap. It can't be that difficult for Fujitsu to enhance the software to do that? The conversion s/w to Word and Excel seems to work very well. Haven't tried PowerPoint conversion yet. Nor have I used the business card reading software.

Surprisingly little paper dust builds up in the machine. I have used conventional cleaning wipes to clear the scanner up to now. The manual does say though that one should only use proprietary Fujitsu Cleaner F1. It might have been an idea to supply one of these with the scanner together with instructions as to how to re-order.

Fujitsu ScanSnap S510 rated 5 out of 5
I bought this scanner from Tradescanners five months ago, and I've used it a great deal since then. I've been pleased with it, and with the sales support I had from Tradescanners. The scanner itself worked straight out of the box. The PDF software is very useful, pages can be inserted and deleted and moved around in the resulting PDF file, and made searchable as required, even in less common languages such as Greek. The only irritations are occasional paper misfeeds, and a tendency to cause streaking during colour scans if the inside is insufficiently clean. The scanner is not TWAIN compatible. I can't think of any advantage it would have it were TWAIN compatible, but I own a separate flatbed scanner. I'm glad I bought this one. Recommended.

Fujitsu ScanSnap S510 rated 5 out of 5
I would give the scanner a rating of 5.

It is simplicity itself to use and produces excellent results incredibly quickly. We use it for both home and business, mainly in duplex mode, to archive documents and have managed to considerably reduce our bulky files. It has also banished my big file of receipt clippings to the shredder! The small footprint means that it sits on the desk ready for immediate use. The A3 adapter is excellent and works well, although I thought the instructions for it could be a little clearer.

So, small, fast, accurate, one touch operation and with a full copy of Adobe Acrobat - I can't recommend it highly enough.

Additionally, I also found that it is best to tape the outer part of the sheet to the adaptor to make sure that it feeds correctly - I think the sheer speed of the scanner is the problem. Perhaps the feeder could be tri-fold so that the document is securely held on both sides?

Here's what Fujitsu have to say about the Fujitsu ScanSnap S510

Fujitsu ScanSnap S510 high speed document scanner

ScanSnap S510 - The Paper Manager!
ScanSnap S510 now gains a Quick menu mode, just press place documents to be scanned, press the Green scan button, Quick Menu pops up allowing you to direct the resultant PDF file to a number of applications at the click of a mouse.

A complete desktop solution, simply press one scanner button to convert colour or mono multi page, doubled sided documents into digital PDF files which you can file, organise, share and email.

The ScanSnap software automatically creates Adobe PDF files which have become the de-facto standard for document exchange, enabling you to send documents anywhere in the world safe in the knowledge the recipient will see the document exactly as you see it.

ScanSnap Manager 4.1 software features:

  • Fast & easy creation of searchable PDF documents
  • Easy access to predefined scanning profiles
  • Allows files to be renamed at scan time
  • Continuous scanning, easily create PDFs greater than the ADF capacity
  • Password protect PDF files
  • A3 scanning using the Carrier sheets
  • Auto orientation alignment
  • ScanSnap Organiser allows you to file,organise, email, print, OCR and browse your scanned documents without the need to open them in Acrobat, It can also convert Scansnap scanned PDF's into fully searchable PDF as a background process.

    ScanSnap S510 can also scan information directly into either Word, Excel or PowerPoint 2003 via OCR using the Scan2xxxx functions integrated into the ScanSnap software or Drag and drop files within ScanSnap Manager to convert to Word, Excel or PowerPoint 2003 editable documents.

    To make scanning as simple as possible, ScanSnap inspects each document to decide if a document should be scanned in black and white or colour, what the size of the page being scanned is and eliminate blank pages, all of which serve to speed the scanning operation and minimise your storage requirements.

    In addition each document will have misaligned text corrected (Auto Deskew) and each page will be have its orientation automatically adjusted.

    ScanSnap also includes CardMinder ver 3.1, an application which can intelligently capture the information from business cards. Cardminder now includes IntelliSync which enables the data to be exported to a number of PM applications.

    The information captured is available across the range of Windows applications, simply highlight a person or company name within your document or application, press Alt-F3 on the PC keyboard and the related business card images will pop onto your screen as an instant aide memoire of that persons job function, address, contact details etc.

    The underling database can be stored and exported to a variety of PIM software such as OutLook, ACT and Goldmine via the IntelliSync.

    Using the supplied carrier sheet provides A3 scanning capability, A3 pages are folded and placed in the carrier sheet, when scanned, Scansnap will automatically stitch the 2 (front & back) images together to recreate the full A3 image.

    The carrier sheet can also be used for scanning photos/documents which might be easily scratched or irregular shaped documents which are difficult to feed otherwise and may cause paper jams.

    ScanSnap incorporates a 50 page automatic document feeder, duplex capability and colour scanning within a surprisingly small footprint and is supplied with a full version of Adobe® Acrobat® 8.0

    Note: The ScanSnap device driver does not support the TWAIN or ISIS protocol. Scanned images cannot be acquired directly from a TWAIN or ISIS
