Fujitsu fi-7240 Robust General Office Desktop Color Duplex Document Scanner with Auto Document Feeder (ADF) and Flatbed

Unless you're familiar with higher-end capture software, the scanning software that comes with this scanner, called PaperStream Capture, can be very daunting, overwhelming, and seem like a ginormous waste of time. However, as you figure out how to use it, you can see that it really is quite powerful and not that hard to use. I will say, however, that the developers need to hire a new UX/UI designer, because the interface for setting up scan profiles is pretty bad. One reviewer stated that the software wouldn't allow them to put scanned images in different folders, but this simply not the case. There are a number of ways to accomplish this task, such as using zonal OCR to make it automatically pull data from documents and route the images to specific folders based on that data. Upgrading to the (unfortunately expensive) PaperStream Capture Pro opens up a whole new world of cool features, too, like the ability to do some seriously complex indexing on the fly and build an entire workflow for not only scanning, but quality control and document processing, such as scanning receipts and having a data field associated with the image files for things like vendor name or transaction amounts that can be exported in a CSV file to be consumed by spreadsheets and accounting software.These little scanners are amazing, really. I have over 97,500 scans on one of my two fi-7260s (see attached screenshot), and have never replaced any of the rollers and rarely even clean the thing. I also have an fi-6670, which costs roughly three times as much, and that scanner has to be cleaned every few hundred pages, and its rollers only last about 10,000 pages. The image quality is remarkable on this scanner, considering the low price, low cost of operation, and moderately fast speed (most professional scanners are a lot faster than this one, but 60 pages per minute is borderline ludicrous speed for consumer scanning and faster scanners get more expensive by orders of magnitude).One thing to note: while the ADF will scan a single page up to 215 inches in length, 1) that's really hard to do because the paper goes flying through the feeder too fast to keep it straight, and 2) the flatbed doesn't scan a full 14" legal document.My only real complaints are the clunky software interface and the fact that I'll sometimes have an issue with PaperStream Capture where it won't recognize that the scanner is connected and I'll have to delete and reinstall PaperStream IP, which is the TWAIN driver for Fujitsu's fi-series scanners.

This Scanner is awesome! I replaced the Fujitsu fi-6230 previously bought in 2009 with this fi-7260 and I have been surprised in the difference between the two. The 6230 was great and never had any issues until this year. This 7260 performs even better. I hope it lasts as long as the 6230 did.

ordered 2 of our office and when they arrived they are very big and bulky and didnt do what we expected, not easy set up or use. We returned them both,.

I love it how this scanner makes things easier when it comes to scanning.

Although the software takes some getting used to, this scanner goes like a bat out of hell. It spits out pages so fast that sometimes one must be prepared to catch them! I you want a scanner which can quickly manage your documents, this one is for you

I own an earlier version (the Fi-4220) of this scanner which became obsolete when Windows XP was retired and no drivers were made available for later operating systems. This scanner is much faster than the earlier one. I would've given it five stars except for the bundled paper stream capture software which is a disappointment. I used the Fi-4220 with its bundled software and I bought the Kofax VRS option and I was very happy for many years. Koufax VRS is worth the $650 it costsif you want to be able to dynamically adjust image quality without rescanning. Paper screen capture attempts to do this but fails miserably. I ended up buying Nuance power PDF advanced and Kofax VRS to use with this new Fujitsu scanner and I'm very happy with the results.if you are less picky about image quality that I am you might be satisfied with paper screen capture. In any case I think you'll like the scanner.

Been using Fujitsu scanners for > 10 years in heavy production environments, anywhere from 500 to 10k+ pages a month. Always very reliable. Great to have both auto feeder and flat bed.

I like the colors and it is comfortable. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit my keyboard. Maybe they should put something in the description about which brands it actually fits. NOT a standard size apparently!
