is it hard to set up and scan to individual files

Not sure I understand your question, but it is VERY easy to set up. Also you can batches of papers and instruct it to create a new PDF every X pages, so that creates individual PDFs - or split them later in adobe acrobat if you forget to do that before scanning. I can't sing the praises of this machine more btw. :)

Using their software you first scan the item or items you desire. It places them in its own temp folder. Then it shows a list of tiles to choose from. Select scan to folder. it then places the date and time of the scan (where you can let it that way or I usually backspace to the beginning and name my file with a space after it). Mid way down the page it lets you scan to its folder or lets you change the setting to the folder you want (such as your Document folder or a folder you created). when you select save it will save the scan to the folder of your choice. Also it keep the last 10 Historical selections under History. You can select the down arrow and choose one of the 10 last folders you saved to.

The scanner is very fast and easy to set up. There is a learning curve with the software. If you put in the time you will get out more. If not, you will be frustrated.

Actually it's a little anti-intuitive, but once you fiddle with it a little (I rarely read the directions), it turns out that it's an awesome time saver. The biggest trick is to know to scan business cards face down. The software captures about 90% of the info on the cards without errors and also gives you an image so you can correct info. I haven't scanned individual files, but it is creating a database of all the hundreds of business cards that have been cluttering my desk for years and for that alone it is worth the price.

Easy to set up and to use ... also easy to save to individual files ... I have ordered 3 of these 1 for me and two for my business. Also have recommended to an accounting firm who ordered 3 of them and they love them. I cannot think of how you could go wrong with this scanner. Price and output are outstanding!

You can change the default save section. I prefer to use the default and then move them to the folder that i want them in. What really makes this scanner a true deal is that it comes with adobe acrobat 11, not the plus version. That alone is $299.00 from adobe site. After i scan a file i load it into acrobat and run the OCR function. This makes the pdf file OCR searchable in adobe reader. How many times have i opened a pdf file in acrobat reader and press control f keys, enter a word" only to get "word not found" and the word is starring me in my face? The OCR function will work on older pdf files too. That even amazed me. Adobe also sends you emails that help educate you too. The scanner will scan 40 pages per minute on both sides! It folds up really small too. The USB 3.0 runs really fast too. My only complaint is that it is NOT net workable. Plus adobe will only let you install acrobat on 1 pc. The default scan software can be installed on more than 1 pc. If you plan on using the OCR function in acrobat a lot install it on a 4 core CPU. It takes some serious horse power to do the OCR routine. I personally love this scanner. It is the 1st time i have purchased a Fujitsu product and am seriously impressed.

This is a good casual scanner, I've tried often to do multi-page documents and find it to be more trouble than it is worth - I then go to my multifunction printer which has a scanner. If you anticipate a lot of multipage documents, I would not suggest this unit, though it can do it, it is just a painful process to get it to work adequately.

The scans are simply .jpg files. You just attach with USB cord that comes with it and open the files!

I am not aware of this capability. It's VERY easy, however, to set up a folder for each vendor and file the receipts within. I have had this scanner for over 3 months and literally use it on a daily basis and could not be more pleased with its performance and features.

The key is getting things aligned to the top and side. It'll scan if they are slightly off square, but then you have to go through all of them and square them up. Easier to start that way than having to post process everything.

You can scan a whole page of photos if you want but it works out better if you scan individualy because it would be easier to print a single pic or send in an email. That way each picture has it's individual file. I scanned a whole page of photos before and it was hard to go in later and crop out one photo from the group. They don't turn out as clear without doing them one at a time. It will go pretty fast if you get your pics organized first. But if you are trying to scan a page f4om one of the old magnetic picture albums because they are stuck, I would do it anyway because you can tear into the photos trying to get them out, You can scan a whole page of photos if you want but it works out better if you scan individualy because it would be easier to print a single pic or send in an email.

You have to scan through a computer, but you can save to a flash drive. The scanner requires a computer (at least as far as I have figured out).

The scanner is very portable, and this prevents it from havinga sheet feeder. So yes, you do. Even at that, I found it much fasterthan using a printer/scanner and turning the sheets over, which makesa rather hard to use file.

Yes you can. In color and black and white. Good quality. Allows you to set up different folders and remembers most frequently used but also allows you to search the history. You can also name the files anything you want. One thing you need to watch is that when you scan, the roller area is narrow. If you are scanning something from photo paper, you should make sure the print doesn't get stuck. I just guide it from behind and give a gentle push if needed. Otherwise, this scanner scans most anything you want that is up to 9 1/2 inches in width.

Yes. Once the first file is saved to a specific folder, the scanner defaults the image to save to that folder the next time, and will point to that folder until you navigate to save the image to a different folder. I like programming the "scan" button to scan using the PDF scanner driver (go to Control Panel >> Devices and Printers >> right click the Fujitsu scanner >> Properties).

You can do both if you want. There is a way to separate Fter you have scanned. I just scan those that are part of one document as I find it easier for me. It really is a nice machine.

Yes. I love this scanner. It is so easy to use. I just connect it to my computer and scan in. You are given the choice of where you want to save what you have scanned.

The default seems to be to scan multiple pages as one document but you can change that in the advanced settings. So the answer is that you can scan either way.

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

No you can scan one page at a time. There is a free window 8 app that will allow you to combine multiple pdfs into a single file.

Actually, it does if you use third-party app ScanTango, but that will set you back $149.00.http://scantango.comBasically allows you to scan to folder, email, print, fax or FTP. You set up "Scan Tasks" for each document type that you choose at scan time. Works well, and the developer is very responsive.No connection other than being a satisfied customer.

No. Each scans as a separate pdf file with a different file name. You would have to create a file and copy the 5 pages into the file.
