Is there an ongoing monthly fee to use these scanners?

I dont' pay anything. I think the only way you have to pay a monthly fee is if you use there cloud for storage of your documents. I store them on my PC so I don't pay anything. Hope that helps

None I am aware of. Have had issue with all stored receipts erased with update.

I never heard of one - its a scanner with a built in program/app designed to co-ordinate your receipt/expense categories...it took me too much time to wait to scan - still use my 'shoebox' approach and 'organize' on my own spreadsheet every dozen weeks or so when I have a chunk of 'down time'. Just haven't made time to adapt.

No. The scans are low-quality. It doesn't even do a decent job with print. The color is not accurate in scanning or in printing. Go with a different model.

the scanner itself is not the issue, but rather you must have some knowledge of scanning software. Any scanning software that you like can be used with this. You can scan from photo software, video software etc. It has nothing to do with this particlular scanner. With any scanner that you buy, you will have to learn how to use scanning software.

Yes, I am using the same system and the card scan works fine. This was a great investment, which really saves me a lot of time.

I believe you have to have a total connect account. I have it through GeoArm and pay 12 dollars a month

This scanner is Analog. Digital scanners cost an upwards of $400. Many counties are gradually converting to digital, but you can go to www.policescanners.net and type in your zip code to find out if law enforcement in your area uses digital or analog. I found the website very helpful.

I've been using it almost 2 months and haven't heard of any fee other than the purchase price.

There is not a monthly fee. You will receive instructions on how to set up your accounts. There are yearly updates that you may purchase if you like but is not necessary for the program to continue to function.

No. Scanner is marginal and only scans single pages. Scanner is in the trash.

YES there IS a $5.00 add on to the fee...14.95 for basic service. If you want to use the app to track it is 19.95!

Is it necessary to have a computer if you have one of these scanners? What is the purpose?

I think it is worth it if you are going to do a lot of scanning where you want to try to organize it all. If you are just doing one-off scanning, I would say no.

They can be scanned, but I was able to find a local software that could be filled out on my PC and then send the form through the printer to be filled out.

There was not a monthly fee when I purchased this in 2011. I recall the minutes being expensive, but when you are overseas, it's to be expected. When minutes got low it prompted me to buy more in $5.00 increments, which was a good feature.

Nice info G. Williams. Wonder if this is available here in the UK though? (Boots perhaps, anyone know?) BTW after re-reeading my comment above I forgot to say... Using the Fujitsu S1500/S1550M users can also use the included "Carrier Sheet" (a clear plastic folder thingy) to put photo's into to protect them whilst going through the scanner. You get one Carrier Sheet included with the machine and can buy packs of 5 (c.$25 per 5-pack, at last check) as well, if you need more of them for heavy jobs.

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.
