A great option for desktop scanning is a Fujitsu ScanSnap S300 Color Mobile Scanner. This scanner features an automatic feeder for documents; optical resolution of 600 dpi and it is compatible with Windows XP professional or home edition, Windows 2000 professional, and with Windows Vista.

A Fujitsu ScanSnap S300 Color Mobile Scanner runs on USB power so it does not need an AC adaptor. It has a thumbnail viewer and files can be easily managed with the drag and drop interface. PDF files are created instantaneously and easily from scanned documents so that they can be quickly located through a simple search. Weighing less than 6 pounds, the unit is the smallest duplex ADF scanner on the market. In the home or in the office, this small, sturdy device can take scanning to a new level. From digitizing sales receipts to turn them into expense reports, to scanning documents to create text that can be edited and saved in PDF format, to capturing information for tax purposes, the ScanSnap is able to handle the job.

This scanner, unlike some, allows the user to create and view jpeg files as well as PDF files and to arrange them, sort them, organize and securely store them. With a simple drag and drop feature, the files can then be sent to emails or to the printer.

An intuitive device, a Fujitsu ScanSnap S300 Color Mobile Scanner will wait until a computer is idle before it performs OCR work, though this is also an option to use while scanning. A menu selection conveniently yields a list of things that have been scanned and are waiting OCR.  The ScanSnap has an excellent reputation for scanning even rumpled receipts clearly and legibly. The software is lauded as some of the best in the business for user friendliness, and for performing all of the functions that a business may desire.

The design is such that when paper does jam, it is simple to fix and jams are rare. Users love the duplex scanning feature, which allows a paper to just go through once, quickly and smoothly, and accurately scan both sides of the document.  The numerous settings for adjusting things such as resolution and speed are great, as the scanner can be customized to run at an ideal rate and resolution for different types of work.

Another asset is that the consumables are relatively inexpensive. When a part does need to be replaced, the parts are easy to find and will not cost the user a fortune to replace them.

More than one owner, once they saw how well a Fujitsu ScanSnap S300 Color Mobile Scanner performed, purchased another one so that they could have this scanner in the office and at home.

The ease of installation and setup is another positive in a long list of them. It arrives, is unpacked, and is scanning in no time with simple instructions for the setup process.

The compact size, the excellent software, the ease of use, Windows and Snow Leopard compatibility and the smooth, accurate manner in which this device works makes a Fujitsu ScanSnap S300 Color Mobile Scanner a solid product and is highly recommended by the majority of users.
