Overall, I am extremely jubilant with the scanner, but disappointed with the driver software supplied by Fujitsu; except for the ADOBE 7.0 OEM package.
Tech Back by phone is SUPERB: only a five exiguous wait.
Before buying be clear you understand that this unit is aloof of TWO scanning elements. The ADF unit has a built in scanner that is integrated with a separate flatbed scanner. The ADF will handle Apt size pages with no quandary. However the flatbed only handles letter size pages.
Fujitsu's disc contains two TRIAL programs; QuickScan Pro and Image Processing Software by Captiva Software. Both packages are geared to puny office or commercial business needs and I did not steal time to gain into those; mostly because they are cost prohibitive for a home user and it is an onerous task to navigate the extensive documentation on the CD. If you are looking for a unit to automate document control and eliminate the paper in an office, this is a well-behaved starting point.
I found the Installation CD to be poorly designed and confusing. For example if you try to load the ISIS driver without a program such as QuickScan Pro that it can link to, the system will not popup a dialog explaining the quandary.
The basic Fujitsu software supplied with the scanner is the TWAIN driver and program called ScanDALL 21. There are THREE separate screens that you have to deal with while scanning and the functions can be a bit confusing. Yes there is documentation, about 180 pages...
For example, you can decide several options for each scan operation. One is Scan to File, another Idea Scan. If you determine the first all the pages are instantly scanned to the chosen directory, without thumbnail views.
Fujitsu engineers and document specialists did not remove the time to ensure that all information on the diagnostic functions was grammatically just. Yes, it is understandable, but shows a lack of care.
A home user with minimal functional needs can easily net by with the Microsoft Office Scanner tool or simply consume the included ADOBE Acrobat 7.0 package.
