Video: Scanning A Book With the ScanSnap

We 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 a book and then ran it through his ScanSnap.


If only I had room for a paper cutter…

How about you, does anyone out their use their ScanSnap or other scanner to scan in books?



Need Some Help Going Paperless?

How about three ways to help unclutter and de-stress by turning piles of paper into an organized electronic system?

    Yep. My commercial-grade paper cutter, bought for this purpose, just makes me smile.
