In the process of upgrading my PCs, I discovered that my somewhat ancient scanner was not compatible with Windows 7.
So I bit the bullet and bought a Fujitsu scansnap S1500. It integrates with my Worldox system, so I just put the pages in, press the blue button, fill out the Worldox profile and bingo, all done. I can change from simplex to duplex scan on a one-off basis by right-clicking on the icon and making the change.
If I didn’t want to scan to Worldox, I could open the application and scan to Word, Excel or Powerpoint. I can even use the scanner as a copier by scanning directly to the printer. Of course, I could do this before, but it was always a two-step process. Scan first, then print, convert to Word, etc.
I find I am scanning a lot more things than I used to because it is so much easier.
I found this article whilst looking for other information on fujitsu scanners however I have to say also own a s1500 and think its one of the best quality scanners for the prices it sells for. Honestly, you cannot get a better scanner for the same money as this and its also mac compatibel which is even better!

When I tried the S1500 in a trade fair, one thing about it that amazed me is that it can correct any scanning errors and arrange those scans orderly. For example, slanted papers like long receipts can be straightened out and cropped in digital form to save memory. I loved the fact that it was so intuitive and intelligent – definitely a great option for frequent scanning of important documents.
