Great little scanner
Th ScanSnap 300 is aimed at the business crowd, and for that group of folks, this is a terrific little scanner. It is amazingly fast at double-sided scans, which is a huge time-saver. It scans directly to PDF, which is quite helpful, especially for those who don’t have Acrobat or other similar software that allows them to do this. Of course, much of the beauty of this is its size — small & light enough to throw into your computer bag along with your computer. This provides me the freedom to tackle some scanning jobs at venues outside of my office, or when I am on the road – a nice feature. I’ve been impressed with the quality of the scans, including color graphics, though admittedly I’ve not tried scanning photos. This is not designed to be a photo scanner. If that’s your need, look for larger, cheaper, better flatbed photo scanners. My only gripe with this is that there is more plastic than I expected, and some parts seem a bit flimsy. That said, it has traveled to/from the office with me for a month, plus an overseas trip, and has stood up well for 6 weeks. Not cheap, but a worthwhile investment for those who need a fast, reliable, portable business scanner.

Great little scanner
Overall, a great sheet feed scanner.
Pros: Auto duplex and color. Great images. Auto aligns scanned pages. Solid, reliable operation. Good scanning speeds.

Cons: Scan software only remembers the default location for images. Card scanner can’t print card images or list. Locked in to Fujitsu’s card mgmt software.
perfect for archiving all those bank statements
easy to set up.
Great to archive bank statement or pay slips.
Organize them in their correct order, feed them to the scanner in batches of 10 or so (i wish it would accept larger amount of paper at once) and it will scan it on both sides very quickly.
You can choose to get one pdf per page or 2 pages or one pdf for all pages, including more that 10 pages.
When the computer is idle it will ocr the pages so you can search the text.
The data is archived in directories so it’s easy to organize and backup on a mozy account for example.
you can then thrash all the paper and get rid of the huge filing cabinets.
Love it.
