How is this different from the "FlipPal" scanner?

They are the same unit. Minor cosmetic differences which I attribute to vintage variation. Not sure which company is the OEM.

I compared both models and the branding on the topside was the only difference I could see. Me decision came down to the reviews which led me to choose the Doxie. I am very satisfied.

I was looking at the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500M Instant PDF Sheet-Fed Scanner for the Macintosh .. I do not know what the difference are between the two .. I did find their website .. http://www.fujitsu.com/us/services/computing/peripherals/scanners/scansnap/

It should work very well but I wouldn't want to do it regularly because of the extra time involved. I try to use a bigger scanner and only stitch if absolutely no other way. Everything I've stitched so far turned out very good though. I have since started using Microsoft ICE to do the stitching. Works better for me than the one supplied by Flip-Pal.

Not exactly. One touch opens the scanner software that came with it. Once it's open, it's one touch to scan.

I believe this is strictly a barcode scanner... so you can scan the item you got, giving yourself the barcode... After that, you would need an independent program to compare that to prices and get information. Do they have those?? Maybe!!

Hi Chad Kessler, You posted this a LONG time ago -- about 14 months ago -- and didn't get any replies. Maybe you're still monitoring it, or maybe you found an answer elsewhere. Anyhow, I thought I'd toss in a tip anyhow. No, I don't know what the problem is, or exactly how to fix it. But elsewhere on these discussion boards (leastways, a year ago) was a fellow named Wayne. I THNK it was Wayne Fulton. I remember he was a fount of knowledge about scanning, always quite generous. Now, just this week, I came across a website set up by Wayne Fulton (I believe the same guy): scantips with the www and the dot-com as appropriate. He's literally written an entire book about scanning there (a 101 basic book AND a 201 intermediate book). It's actually a bit more than mere basic stuff. He's been a lifesaver to me. He even provides his email address and might be willing and able to answer a question directly, although I think you'd want to check through his writings first to see if he offers any insights. Maybe this is a year late, and the problem was long ago solved. But if not, check out Wayne's website.

It seems, from my use of the scanner, that this'd work just fine, though you'd have to attend the scan or else check the file to ensure that all pages were inclued (the scanner occasionally grabs more than one page at once). Not to state the obvious, but try it first with a book you can replace easily :-) Also, note the advice from the poster before me (don't get binding glue/debris in the scanner).

Very good question.. I just tried it and it scanned my license flawlessly! Hope that helps.

I tried Rack2, which came with my scanner, but then I uninstalled it. The bundled Organizer software is pretty straightforward without the hokey Rack2 interface.

It does not have a scanner that I am aware of. If it does have a scanning feature I have not discovered it.

I think the only real difference between the coded version vs the one using finger prints is that the coded one is more reliable. I have heard people say that the one with the scanner might take several tries to get it open. In a break in situation that could be bad. The coded one has thousands of different combinations. You can even program it where you have to push multiple buttons at the same time. I think that would be great if you have small kids around. There is no way they could figure out the code.

I have no idea - while the scanner has proved to be a good quality scanner, we gave up after lousy support to use the data the read, we just use the scanned files. it's a shame, really, as the concept appears great - but then again, their system can not even interpret any receipts in Euros.

I'm not sure which scanning software you use but it sounds like a setting inside the program rather than the scanner itself. As an accountant and income tax preparer, I use the scanner with 3 different scanning software programs and haven't run into this problem with any of them.

One more thought though. My statement about the HP scanner is misleading. True for full page receipts, but unlike most flatbed scanners this one only scans the receipt, not a full page of nothing. A small receipt, like from a gas station pump, scans in a few seconds.

Its comparable after you do all the updates. You go to their website and connect the scanner to your computer and install the updates. Its not worth it. There's better out there that's ready out of the box to use plus it shows a CD disc but that doesn't come with the scanner. Hard to update it without the disc. W

It will scan anything...decoding it is another matter. I can't confirm whether it will support those standards but $14 you can. :)

This is still a little unclear. I gather from the above that the scanner does not flip the original to scan the other to make a two side copy. What I want to know is it possible to make a two side copy by two sequential single side scans? ... scan one side, scan the other side and then a two sided copy comes out? I would like to do this from the printer front panel, not a computer application.
