I have a theory, based on no data whatsoever, that Fujitsu is going to sell a lot of ScanSnap S1100 scanners to people who already have another ScanSnap. Your average home or small business user will most likely not need multiple scanners, but I could see people who travel a lot, visit client sites, or […]
Continue readingHappy New Year everyone! I hope you had a great one and are ready and roaring to go for 2011. As part of my annual review, I was looking back at my logs for sales through Amazon.com, and I thought you might be interested in the top 10 products that DocumentSnap readers bought through Amazon […]
Continue readingYears ago I read article by blogger Darren Barefoot in which he relates how he likes to check out what the smart people are doing with respect to their tools. That article has always stuck with me, because I tend to follow the same approach. With that in mind, I’ve noticed that a number of […]
Continue readingI 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 […]
Continue readingSo 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 […]
Continue readingSometimes, when you have to scan a large number of documents at once, the step of doing OCR (making the PDF searchable) after each document can really slow things down. It may be preferable to scan them all in and then OCR them all in one big shot. In the past I have posted about […]
Continue readingA few of my posts have discussed how to disable the Quick Menu in ScanSnap Manager. Well, recently Fujitsu posted a good video on all the features of the Quick Menu and how to use it. How do you roll? Quick Menu on or off? Sound off in the comments.
Continue readingThe ScanSnap Community site has an interesting article by Megan Fowler, the Marketing Communications Manager over at Fujitsu. It shows how she used the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500M (though really any ScanSnap would do) and an online photobook site called Blurb to perserve her husband’s grandfather’s football legacy. After my husband’s grandfather passed away, his grandmother […]
Continue readingWe all know that a desktop scanner like the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 or S1500M is good for scanning a whole bunch of documents, but how about scanning an actual book? Came across this video from Japan (I think) where the guy used a heavy duty paper cutter (like this one?) to cut the spine off […]
Continue readingOne issue with the Fujitsu ScanSnap and OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard that I forgot to mention the other day is the ABBYY FineReader that comes bundled with it. When scanning with the version of Finereader that ships with the ScanSnap S510M and S1500M, you may get an error message like “File not created with ScanSnap”. […]
