A Fujitsu S1500 Scanner Review

!9#: A Fujitsu S1500 Scanner Review

Because of its advances in the optics area, Fujitsu has created some of the world's best cameras. Due to this, they have been able to compete in markets that have been dominated by other companies for a very long time. One of these markets is the scanner market, which means they are one of Canon's largest competitors. If you're looking for a great product, you should take a look at the Fujitsu S1500. Compared to many other scanners on the market, this one is very sophisticated and easy to use.

Benefits

This is a sheet fed scanner, and it is much more compact than other models on the market, and due to its size it will fit nicely beside another printer. This is a plus when you consider that scanners in the old days required their own table.

There are quite a few people out there that like to save documents such as receipts, and they will enjoy the S1500 because they will be able to scan their documents in either full color or black and white. This means that they will be able to scan all of those documents in, and you will have them all in one convenient file. The scanner can handle twenty pages per minute, and once you scan the files, they will be put into a PDF file. It also features an accurate OCR program that allows you to scan documents into searchable files. This is a great scanner, especially when you consider the price is around 0.

Problems

For those who need to scan wide documents, this may not be the best printer. This is especially true if the documents are larger than the legal A4 size. If you are wanting to scan photos, then you will only get average quality. Another thing to remember is that the S1500 works with MAC OSX, but you will not find any kind of OCR software for the MAC which is a bit disheartening to some people.

Reception

Other than the occasional paper jam, people have found very few faults with the printer. It scans quickly, and it's not hard to install. All you need to do is install the drivers and plug in the USB cable. There are many people that prefer this type of scanner to the standard multi-function printers. After all, many of the all in ones that have scanners simply do not live up to their name and produce lower quality prints.

In Closing

If you want to get rid of the scanning issues, all you need to do is load up 50 or fewer pages, and press the button. Watch closely for any paper jams.

While the Fujitsu S1500 Scanner series isn't a solution for everyone, it is great for scanning groups of documents quickly. Because it is small, it will fit just about anywhere. If space is a issue, then you can trust in both this printer's size, as well as it's OCR capabilities.
