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 [...]

Coming up on two years ago (yikes) I did a post in which I had helped a DocumentSnap reader use his Fujitsu ScanSnap to scan into Microsoft OneNote 2007. I know that OneNote is a popular program, but I had never actually used it myself other than a few minutes at Gnomedex 2005 when Robert [...]

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 [...]

There is nothing worse than sitting in a presentation and the presenter is using the same MS Office clip art that we have all seen 1000 times. A while ago I came across this tweet by Angelo van der Sijpt in which he said that all he needs to do a presentation was a Sharpie, [...]

As many of you know, I’m a bit of a fan of the Fujitsu ScanSnap line of scanners. What you don’t know, however, is the real reason why I like them.  It’s not the speed or ease of use or any of that boring stuff. Honestly, my fondness for them really comes down to one [...]

The other day I was having a conversation with a consulting client, and we got to talking about things to do with your paper before you scan it. I’ve written a lot about scanning documents and what to do after you scan them, but I haven’t written too much about document preparation. One of the [...]

   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 [...]

   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 [...]

Even though the ScanSnap S1300 was released back in February 2010, up until this point it was only available on the US Amazon through Buy.com. Nothing against Buy.com at all, but a lot of people were asking me when it would be actually sold by Amazon.com so that it would have their free shipping, Amazon [...]

File this post under the “I will probably regret posting this” category. I had a tip from DocumentSnap reader Hamad that was too helpful not to share. Remember back in November 2009, Fujitsu had to release an update for Abbyy FineReader because it was having problems with Mac OSX Snow Leopard? According to the website, [...]
