Simply the best scanner I've ever used (and I've used a lot of 'em). Works better than advertised. You can jam it if you try to (i.e., force a bunch of miss-match wrinkled old papers and sizes) but it is remarkably easy to clear and the software is smart enough to help you restart your scan where you left off so if you're at the end of a 50 page run you don't have to start over from scratch. You will not believe the speed and quality of this tiny package. It's so good it scans the the backside, mirror image of very thin gas pump receipts, go figure. The Adobe Pro version is a bundle but for the life of me I can't see what options they have disabled. I'm relatively new to the Mac side of things but have been in IT and the PC world for 20 years. Anyway, it does everything I've every needed and it does it better than the PC ever could. If you do the math they are either giving the scanner away or giving the software away. Works for me.Spend the money and don't look back!

I've never felt compelled to write a review for anything I've purchased on Amazon until now. This is an exceptional product...I've scanned all my tax information, business records and important information to PDF for several years now, but it required I lug my documents to Kinko's or use other scanners that I have had available to me. Since the feeders on other scanners would only accept one paper size in a batch, I would tape several smaller receipts to 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper, or scan the documents one at a time and then merge them into a single PDF document later-either way it was a very labor intensive process. I finally decided to buy my own scanner which I'll use primarily for text documents. Every scanner I've used before has been a pain. Not any more...Within 5 minutes of receiving it I had installed the software, updated the software for Snow Leopard and was ready for my first scan. My first impressions: It is much smaller than I expected (fits nicely on my desk), has a well made feel/fit and finish and the color goes nicely with my mac setup.After setting up a couple different profiles (DPI, color, gray or BW, duplex, etc) I loaded several different different size documents and pressed the single blue scan button on the front of the machine. Seconds later I had a new PDF show up in my selected folder. The pages of the pdf were straight with none of the slant that I get from most sheet feeders I've used on scanner before. Each scanned document was the correct size and not forced to fit on an 8 1/2 x 11.Here are the pros of the amazing scanner:-Fast & quiet-Scans both sides of a document at the same time for duplex-Auto rotates pages so that up is up-Automatically fixes pages that load slanted through the feeder-Auto sizing-Scans multiple size documents in one scan batch-Senses if multiple pages feed at the same time and stops the scan job allowing you to correct the problem and continue scanning into the same document if you wish-Can scan to Word, Excel or OCR-Easily configure different profiles for different types of scanning-2 click selection of a new profile from the Dock-Zero confusing buttons on the hardware-PDF compression settingsOne minor con:-It would be nice to be able attach the scanner to an Airport Extreme or Time Capsule and connect to multiple computers wirelesslyIn short this scanner seems to fix every single gripe I've had about every other scanner I've ever used.

This small footprint, relatively inexpensive scanner is faster than any of the 'all-in-one" scanners in use in many small offices. 30 sheets per minute seems very fast. The scan quality is excellent. Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0 for the Mac is bundled with the scanner, along with the useful CardIris. If purchased separately, these programs would cost more than the ScanSnap, so the bundle is a bargain.My only quibble is with the instructions or lack there of. Operating directions for the hardware are very brief, with little elaboration and the diagrams for setup are not clear. ScanSnap Manager has no instructions. CardIris didn't load on my first installation try, which created problems. I had to reinstall and everything worked fine thereafter.4 of 5 stars based on the small footprint, scanning speed, bundled software, reasonable price. One star deducted for limited instructions.

I know plenty of people have rated the Fujitsu S1500M as an excellent scanner. I am just here to add my praise. I have put some serious hours on this scanner, and it has never once skipped, stopped, or failed. I fed my entire paper life to this machine in a matter of 2-3 months earlier this year. I converted pretty much every piece of paper from my life for the past 10 years into PDFs and JPEGs. I'm only 28, so I'm sure some people have much more paper than I do, but I scanned every bill, receipt, picture, recipe, letter, user manual, magazine (lots), and all kinds of other things, and only the super-rare "two pages stuck together" error. The best part is that the machine recognizes and stops itself on these rare occasions. It is practically impossible to imagine something working better than this machine. All settings, inlcuding the many for quality, B/W, color, front/back, multi-page, JPEG, OCR, and too many others to name, work perfectly. Not to mention that besides installing a very simple upgrade from Fujitsu for Snow Leopard and installing Acrobat Pro, it is pretty much plug 'n play. And in the unbelievable circumstance that you're not satisfied, well at least you get Adobe's Acrobat Pro PDF software (which is worth at least a couple hundred and which I have actually found to be pretty useful) for free. It made putting my entire paper life in a little book-sized box on my desk much easier than I anticipated. Well done, Fujitsu.
