Expert review by : Victor Marks and Ilene Hoffman (macnn.com)
A scanner that fits the bill and your pocket with its bundled software
Does exactly what it is designed to do. Exceeds expectations
None
There are some basic assumptions that we all make when it comes to scanners: Scanners are horrible;they take up lots of desk space; and they’re slow. Document feeder scanners are subject to paper jams, and really, people use them mostly for picture
Expert review by : Joe Kissell (macworld.com)
If you want to turn your paper archives into searchable PDFs, it doesn't get any easier than the Fujitsu ScanSnap S510M. At $495 it's not cheap-but its bundled software alone is worth far more than the scanner itself.
Automatic two-sided scanning ; fast ; automatic OCR ; handles small and oversize pages
Quick Menu feature doesn't work with Entourage ; OCR software can't keep up with scanner ; fairly expensive
Unlike flatbed scanners made primarily for scanning images, the ScanSnap has a compact, upright design more appropriate for scanning documents. It can churn through stacks of up to 50 sheets of paper at a time, scanning both sides of the page at once...
Expert review by : Jonny Evans (macworld.co.uk)
If you need to keep track of your documents, the ScanSnap S510M is a price-effective means to do so.
Compact, efficient, capable, excellent quality scans, fast
Too expensive for casual users, no film scanner, no support for TWAIN
There's much that's good here, although the ScanSnap is not really appropriate for creative studios and too expensive for casual users. The target market of SoHo and business users must really want Acrobat 8 Professional, and for them it's an excellent...

Consumer review (newegg.com)
This is a great little scanner. I was somewhat concerned about paying close to $500 for this, but it is definitely worth it. I scanned 74 pages of notes from a college course directly to PDF in about 5 minutes! It would have taken me close to an hour...
Fast, high quality scans, Mac compatible, Software works very well, scans directly to PDF, includes software to index and do OCR on the PDFs so that they are searchable, includes business card scanning software (haven't used this yet, though), includes...
Somewhat expensive, but it does include a full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro 8

So far it works just as advertised. I''m pleased with it.
Scans photographs well with carrier sheet Can choose between pdf and jpg file types Small footprint Allows separate names for each scan
Price Price Price
Consumer review (newegg.com)
Has a very small footprint! - Scans are super quick! (either one pdf with multiple pages or one pdf for each page.) - The software it comes with is very easy to use and I have it setup with mail in osx, so it immediately attaches the pdf's to an email
none, love it
Consumer review (pcnation.com)
Is there a way to keep the scan snap icon from staying in the dock with every restart?
This thing small. This thing is fast. This thing works. It comes with an excellent software package. It''s shipped free. The price is more than just right. The praise it gets is well deserved for sure. I hope I never have to find out about customer...
I wish I knew how to use adobe and the other software better. Guess I''ll have to learn
Consumer review (pcnation.com)
This is the third scanner I have owned€an Epson, an HP and now this. It is by far the best, fastest and easiest to use€takes less than a minute to set up and installing the software takes only a little longer. I got mine because my son had one and...
easy to use, compact, fully featured, comes with great software
none I can think of
Consumer review (pcnation.com)
First week and I''m loving it. Just what I needed to help improve filing and storage.
Received Scansnap S510M scanner almost immediately after order. Have used it for a week and love it. Tremendouse speed and quality scans
Jams a bit on thick batches of doents but clears easily
