Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500M

By Arvind Srinivasan (maclife.com)

Maybe Fujitsu's design team felt nostalgic for their now-dead printer division, because there's no way around it--the S1500M looks like a printer (or at least a scanner with an identity crisis). That's not a bad thing, mind you.

Lower-res scans are fast. Device is compact. Scans multiple documents. Includes OCR software

By Kenny Hemphill (macuser.co.uk)

Fujitsu's ScanSnap S1500M is the latest in the company's line of desktop document scanners. It replaces the 510M and adds a couple of notable features

Excellent document scanner!!

By N/A (newegg.com)

If something goes through that's a little dirty or has loose bits, those can get stuck on the scan glass, which for me showed up as streaking on my scans. I found that a microfiber cleaning cloth dipped in warm water mixed with a little bit of plain isopr...

Fast, accurate, and easy to use. It has easily handled a wide variety of paper including small receipts, postcards, and for the most part envelopes. It's very easy to clear if something gets jammed (which hasn't happened very often). Included software wor...

Envelopes tend to get a little wrinkled as they go through, depending on their condition

By WetcoastBob (maclife.com)

Sitting next to me is an Agfa SnapScan 1212. This is scanner is almost 10 years old and scans nicely up to 600 DPI raw.I guess now that Agfa is dead Fujitsu can use the name, albeit reversed.Cheers:Bob

Fujitsi S1500M

By EdInVT (maclife.com)

Great scanner! Sales department doesn't return calls and product support is virtually non-existent. Hope I never have a problem.

Manufacturer's Description

The ScanSnap S1500M provides Mac users an effective way to greatly reduce paper clutter, storage space, and security risk associated with unmanaged paperwork at home or office. Even better, documents scanned by ScanSnap take on a higher level of accessibility and usefulness once liberated into the digital realm.
