Quickly and reliably scans multiple pages. Occasionally has some hick-ups, but as good as modern technology allows.As far as ease of use, I rated a 4 because sometimes the scan button stops working after I scan a lot of items, and I need to reboot my PC, but that may be a PC configuration issue. Generally very good product, I'd buy again.
It'll skip blank pages, scan two-sided documents in one pass, tells you if it didn't find anything to scan, and quickly produces a pdf of your documents. After one year of almost daily use in a busy office, this great little scanner has performed flawlessly. We've scanned thousands of multi-page documents. It's small, light, fast, quiet, dependable, and a snap to use.
The carrier sheet that came with it almost 2 years ago is still going strong but a little marked up with ink from making notes on receipts before scanning. It has been wonderful to use and very few problems. This scanner has been busily scanning thousands, yes thousands, of insurance EOB's onto a server for permanent archiving instead of saving assorted size papers. I do wish there were an easier way to switch between color scanning (business receipts, copies of statements with stamps, etc). I probably scan about 100-200 pieces/day with it. It doesn't do ID cards very well so I have a fi-6130 waiting in the wings to be installed for front desk insurance and ID card scanning. and B/W with OCR for searchable archiving of PDF's. I'm anxious to order an S1500 and see how it performs compared to this workhorse.
Oh well, I guess I'll use my old Epson scanner for a while. I have tons of peripheral products and upgraded to Windows 7 32bit Ultimate and was surprised there is no support. This thing is a boat anchor now. It is three years old, but Epson was nice enough to patch together a W7 driver for it. Come on Fujitsu.
As of this same date there is still no driver for Win7 either. As of 11-05-09 there is still no driver for Mac OS 10.6. I have both the Mac and Win version of this scanner. Is this company brain dead. This is critical since major functionality is compromised. Fujitsu's advice: "Reinstall OS 10.5." Incredible. If you are using Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) do not buy this scanner. Same for Win 7.
