Thread: The Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 Scanners

If you need to use a desktop scanner on a regular basis, you want it to be quick and easy to operate. It helps, too, if it's small and able to convert scanned documents into a variety of formats, then save to disk or email/fax them to others. Fujitsu's new ScanSnap S1500 meets most of those criteria and a few more besides.



Priced to appeal to the small business buyer, the ScanSnap S1500 is a lot smaller than you might expect as it's sheet-fed rather than a flatbed device. It also folds up when not in use, with documents to be scanned loaded into a 50-page feeder that opens out of the top while a catch tray, similarly, folds out at the bottom. In between is a double-sided scanner, able to scan up to 20 pages (40 sides) per minute, with an ultrasonic detector to identify and alert the operator to any mis-feeds.
