Fujitsu S1300i ScanSnap Document Scanner

Big workhorse in small package

This is a compact yet accurate scanner. It could even be thrown into a suitcase, yet it uses the same scanning technology as its larger siblings. It's a great sheet scanner. Because of its size, it has no output tray and its input is limited to about 20 sheets. But it scans quickly and its easy enough to put in the next batch. It takes up little room on the desk and just works. At this price, it’s a real value compared to other scannersRead full review

Great scanning quality

This has really great scanning quality, especially for the short time it takes to run the paper through. Love that it determines whether there is color on the page and that you can make the PDFs searchable!

One of the first items I scanned was 30+ pages long. I put in 10 pages, waited til it had one or two pages left to scan, then added more pages. It worked great and scanned them all into one document without a problem.

I debated whether to get the smaller version of this, which I would be able to fit in a bag on a plane, and then later get the desktop version, which would handle much bigger jobs without as much supervision, but chose to go with this middle-of-the-road scanner first and then decide which of the other needs would be my greater need! However, I purchased a semi-hard case for this one, and for right now, this one will generally serve all of my needs.

I'd heard from my colleagues that ScanSnaps are really great and an item I can't do without, and they are right.Read full review

Great scanner for going paperless

Got this scanner to digitize 10 years worth of documents and I have to say I'm really impressed with it. The scanner was relatively easy to set up: just downloaded the software from Fujitsu for my Mac and plugged it in according to instructions.

The UI of the software leaves a little to be desired but it's really quite powerful. The software comes with OCR capability so you can configure the scans to be made searchable. The process of setting that up however was not completely obvious and required a google search.

The scanner is relatively fast and images both sides of the paper at the same time which saves a lot of time and it can process small stacks (probably 10 sheets) all in one go but you have to be careful of folds which can cause the documents to rotate during the scan and pages that stick together from lack of use.

The scanner occasionally jams but it's relatively quick to address and you can resume where you left off. Other minor annoyances: the scans sometimes come in the wrong way but I think this had to do with the resolution at which you scan your document. It says on the device it's worth mentioning: don't put stapled sheets through the scanner. It doesn't work. So try not to miss any staples in your documents.

So far I've scanned something like 6 years of documents in a couple of hours active time on the scanner.

It's a pretty good buy if you're serious about scanning a lot of paper.Read full review

A nice scanner for the office

I have one of these scanners at my office. It has always been a worker. I've always found the scans to be sharp and crisp. I also like that I can place a double-sided document through the scanner and it scans both sides in the same pass.

I saw the same model on ebay and noted the price was much lower than what my office paid. Yeah, it's used, but I plugged the scanner in and it began working right away, just like I was at my office. I think I scored big with this buy.Read full review

Great scanner Great scanner

Receipt scanner in a timely manner. Had to use online for set up, the supplied CD was bad. After it was set up, all work fine. Scanned some pictures, colors were great. Easy to use. Frontload and front discharge of paper. Can put scanner next to the back of the desk or alongside the wall. Was great for what I needed.Read full review

Professional Equipment for serious users

This is professional equipment for people that need to scan on the go.
It is meant to be portable or for light use on your desktop. If you need to scan all day, every day, consider an upgrade to a proper desktop scanner by Fujitsu.

This scanner is not fast--just fast enough.
It is also extremely reliable.

If you need a very small or portable scanner, this is it.
It is top notch.Read full review

This scanner is wonderful with top notch software and a small footprint

This scanner is perfect for me. I don't want a scanner on my desktop as scanning isn't something I'll be doing all the time. This scanner is small and can easily travel from one room to another, or in your carry-on for scanning important geneaology documents and photos on your family history trips. The Fujitsu software is the best out there according to all reviews I found online, and it is easy to use. I plan on purging all my home office paper files and business cards to have everything at my fingertips on the computer.Read full review

Price Matters

I bought this to replace an employer supplied Scan Snap 500. While the price of this smaller scan snap is about a third of the 500, about the only difference I can see is speed and number of documents. But since I am now scanning only personal documents, I don't need the larger and faster scanner. This one takes up less room and does the job just fine.Read full review

A Workhorse Scanner for our Museum
