Thread: fujitsu scansnap s1100 scanner.

As long as printed paper goes forward to dominate our lives, we'll require papers scanners. Fujitsu 1st brought in its ScanSnap range of portable colour scanners in 2003, and the S1100 is the littlest and most abstemious member of the family.

Aimed at mobile users, the tiny S1100 isn't much larger than some laptop battery carries, and weighs only 350g. The just assure is an illuminated blue scan button at 1 end, and there's a micro-USB connector at the any other (there's no battery and the device is USB powered).2 flaps, 1 at the front and 1 on top, allow 2 different papers feed ways; with only the front 1 open, papers feed directly by.

Open the top as well, and a one hundred eighty-degree way brings back the page to



the front, a neat space-saving characteristic for cramped display. There are no literal paper guides, only a pair of raised marks on the front flap, so you require to be a small careful positioning big papers to keep misfeeds.

We discovered the ScanSnap S1100 handled a variety of document sizes and heavinesses pretty well, and it can scan business cards and embossed credit/ID cards with ease - though it was a small fussy about where cards these were introduced - it just figured out totally reliably when they were put in at the left-hand end of the slot. An optional plastic wallet is useable for scanning folded A3 sheets.Fujitsu claims the device can treat document weights up to 206g/m2 utilizing the straight document way, or 80 g/m2 utilizing the 180-degree way.
