I get asked this question quite a bit: “What is the difference between the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300 and the ScanSnap S1500 series?”, and then the logical followup: “Which should I buy?”. I decided to put together this blog post for me to point people to, so here is a rundown of the differences between the [...]

I happen to think that the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 and S1300 are pretty good looking machines, as far as scanners go. But sometimes, I want more. Like for example, it would be nice to have a bird hand-painted on it. Well, it’s my lucky day. PFU, which is the division of Fujitsu in Japan that [...]

In most cases I recommend scanners with an automatic document feeder, but one big case where they don’t work out so well is when scanning a book. The most logical solution is to cut the book and then feed the pages through your scanner, but what if you don’t want to do that? Over on [...]

   One topic that has come up in the comments a number of times over the years here on DocumentSnap is using a Fujitsu ScanSnap over the network. Up until now I had never figured out a way to do that, but I recently came across some murmurings that implied that some people have had [...]

For whatever reason, I don’t tend to write as much about all-in-one or multifunction devices. You know, the ones that print, scan, fax, make waffles, etc. Maybe it is because the frustration with the one that I have is what lead me to getting into this whole DocumentSnap thing in the first place. Anyways, it’s [...]

   So I know that I posted about Evernote just a few days ago, but I couldn’t possibly let this go by without letting you guys know about it. Evernote and Fujitsu cut a deal where if you buy a ScanSnap S1500 (for Windows) or S1500M (for Mac) and then sign up for an Evernote [...]

It seems pretty incredible to me that I haven’t written about Doxie yet, but here we are. It’s shipping worldwide as of today. Doxie is, in their words, “the new, modern paper scanner that’s so simple, it’ll revolutionize the way you think about sharing and storing docs and photos forever”. That’s a pretty bold claim! [...]

In the comments to my ScanSnap S1300 review post, user pendolino asked about the Fujitsu ScanSnap 1300‘s performance, not so much the scanner itself, but the software and OCR process afterwards. i would like to know a bit more about the very interesting sounding OCR feature that you say is bundled within the software (both [...]

If you want to see another video of the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300 in action with runthrough of the features and benefits, the company has just released a new video (funky music is a bonus). It’s 3 minutes long. If you’re looking for it, here’s the link to my ScanSnap S1300 review. It also mentions the [...]

I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a review copy of a Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300, so I thought I’d write up my initial impressions and show some of the new stuff that DocumentSnap readers might find interesting. As of this writing I have only installed it on Mac OSX, but as I wrote [...]
