Summary: Easy to use
Review: This scanner has become essential tool for helping me get work done around the office. I have lots of documents, marketing materials, and business cards that need to be scanned for filing as well as sending to my clients. I like the idea of automatically scanning to PDF since it's a standard and my clients prefer that I send information to them in PDF. Before purchasing my ScanSnap I had looked at a flatbed scanner, but quickly came to the conclusion that it would be virtually useless since it can only scan one side of one page at a time. With the automatic document feeder, I can scan both sides of the page at the same time. The speed of the scanning is very fast. This is important to me because most of the documents I work with have more that one page and are often double-sided. I can scan a stack of pages and not have to worry which one is color and which one is black and white since ScanSnap does it for me! I just put the paper in the scanner and press the button. The business card scanning software that comes with this product lets me update my contacts in Microsoft Outlook very easily. So, the bottom line is that I am able to get more done using ScanSnap. And to a small business person like me that matters. I recommend ScanSnap to anyone who needs a reliable document scanner that's easy to use and takes a lot of the complexity out of scanning documents.

Summary: Great Product
Review: To the reviewer who just wrote this won't scan as a JPEG.... it DOES. I had the same initial conclusion, but Tech Support told me how. 1st, change the settings to COLOR. Then, go to file option, and you will see the JPEG option. It is confusing. This scanner is "AWESOME". I've had it for 6 months, it blows away any and all visioneer scanners w ADF.

Summary: No TWAIN drivers!
Review: What bothered me about this scanner is that I purchased it to scan documents as images. While it brags about being able to scan documents as PDFs, nowhere does it say that you can not scan things as JPEGs. If I would have know ahead of time that scanning to a JPEG was impossible (or atleast prohibitively difficult), I would have never bought the device, instead I paid to ship it back.

Summary: Jams too much for the price
Review: Yes it is fast, and immediately converts to pdf. However, it jams quite often which means a restart of the scanned materials. It also doesn't handle differently sized pages in the same stack.
