I thought I'd tried all the good scanners out there! July 21, 2008
I had seen this scanner featured in ads in Mac Life and Mac World, but I wasn't sold. I had invested in the NeatReceipts scanner and software and was glad that they'd recently released a Mac port of the software, but it just didn't "do it all". I figured it was worth a shot and I ordered the S300M from Amazon.com.
Was I ever happily surprised! I got right down to business scanning documents and receipts, the scanner's automatic settings are to scan in color/duplex. With the versatility of the Preview application on the Mac I was able to add or delete pages from a PDF once it was created, with ease.
The only drawback on this scanner is if you want to scan a page from a book. That's why I have a little Canon flatbed scanner. Also, a small drawback is sometimes the scanner has trouble pulling in multiple pages that have been folded (for example an American Express bill). In that case I scan each page separately and use Preview to make one big PDF.
All in all, the S300M gives me the ability to get rid of lots of paper very quickly. I annihilated a shoebox full of small receipts that I wasn't sure what to do with (for tax purposes) in just about two hours. I am not always an early adopter, I like things that I can use and that are useful. The S300M gets two thumbs up from me!
scanner is wonderful July 18, 2008
The scan snap sc300m is great for scanning to file or email very quickly. The business card reader software is very accurate.
Bought another one for the office. Too bad they don't make one for PCs
Amazing Product! July 16, 2008

This scanner is, perhaps, the single most amazing peripheral I have ever used in my 25+ years of computing. Simply put, it does EXACTLY what it claims to do: Duplex scan darn near any document you can feed through its scanning mechanism (Only limitation is it cannot scan thick or bound items - so if that is your need, you will have to revert to a flatbed scanner).
However, for document scanning, this scanner coupled with DevonThink Pro Office is a 5 star paperless office solution. If it is a piece of flat paper (or similar substance - I have successfully scanned plastic & thin metal as well!) it scans into your mac and DevonThink takes care of the OCR and document filing inside DevonThink's outstanding (again 5 Star) document archive/management software.
If you are truly wishing to move to the *practical* era of a "paperless office" This scanner and DevonThink are your complete solution.
What is really amazing? you can kick this puppy into "Hi Rez" mode (600DPI) and scan in photos that you can manipulate in photoshop and print on a 6 color inkjet printer at 8x10" print size with photorealistic results. NO this is not a dedicated 4800DPI professional scanner! But GEEZE! You are scanning photos on the road and on the fly :-)
This dinky thing is not much bigger than a large paperback book and:
* comes with a free (by mail) carrying case,
* CAN power itself off your MacBook/Pro's USB port
* (scans using USB power are @ 20% slower in my experience but who cares! you are scanning ANYWHERE and ANYTIME!)
* has a completely bulletproof recovery from scan jams
* (yes they DO happen and one button fixes it and the darn Fujitsu scanning software is smart enough to self-correct and ask you to rescan the jammed sheet--even in the middle of a 30+ page scan!)
* It will scan stacks of different sized paper and auto-recognize the size! (For instance, for my non-profit work I will scan a 8x10" event report sheet and immediately follow that with a 3x6" business-size check - I have successfully scanned a stack of 10 reports & checks in one session)
* Is 100% Mac-Like in operation: It *JUST WORKS*
* Unpack it, plug it in, open the lid, insert sheet, scan, DONE!
(Disclaimer: I do not work for either Fujitsu or DevonThink, although I have beta tested DevonThink in the past, I am a PAID licensee of DevonThink Pro Office - YES it is THAT good! :-)
Just get this scanner - you will NOT regret it!
Scansnap S300M Delivers July 3, 2008

This scanner and software work perfectly with my Macbook Pro. It runs great on Leopard. I especially like the ability to define separate scanning profiles and select them in the dock. I have several profiles that send scans to various apps and it works perfectly. I am using this with Mail, ReceiptWallet, Yep, and other apps as well.
Speaking for the scanner itself I am amazed at how fast it is scanning both sides of a page. The feed mechanism works well. Sometimes a skinny receipt will feed in skewed but the software corrects for that so it's not a problem.
The only thing I didn't like, which is probably a limitation of USB more than a design flaw, is that it requires two USB ports if you don't use the AC adapter. If you want to be truly portable, you'll use one USB port for power, and one for data. That's a pain to carry two cables but at least it makes portable scanning possible so it's a small complaint.
Overall, I love this thing and have recommended it to many friends...
 Works perfectly July 1, 2008

Received scanner, hooked it up and it work perfectly. Now, I scan in all my documents, bills, notes, anything that I should remember but never do. I date and name all documents and after a couple of years, i will simply delete the scanned documents when I determine that they are no longer needed.
