ScanSnap S1500M for Windows PC? Anybody know?

The Mac disk that came with the S1500M was readable under Parallels and contained drivers for running the S1500. These drivers work just fine for running the S1500M under Windows XP. It seems to work a bit better or more reliably than the Mac software :-)

In my opinion the Rack 2 filer doesn't work! There is something about the resolution of the files that is not good. I am very happy with the Scan Snap S1500 that I bought but the I had to go back to just using normal Windows folders. I get much better resolution of the text on my PDF files. When I first bought the "Hardware/software bundle" I tried to make it work. I could find anyone on the Internet who could explain the problem. I have been "burned" before on software that wasn't very good. So give up on Rack 2 Filer and use Windows folders.

Don't know if they work with scansnap s1100i (suspect they do) but they are reusable. I've scanned hundreds (maybe thousands) of pages with mine as I thinned out my physical file cabinet. Have a couple that are showing scuff marks from use, but scans are still clean, so continue to use them. I have several, so I can quickly scan multiple pages of small or folded pages into one document.

I am successfully running mine under both winXP and win8. I'm using viewscan as my scanning program. I don't like the one that came with the scanner, but that's personal-- I've been using viewscan since 1998!

Absolutely! I currently use it with my iMac and it works great. FWIW, I also use it with my laptop that runs Windows OS and am extremely pleased with this Fujitsu ScanSnap S1100!!

I actually returned it - it was barely bigger than a paper towel roll if I remember. I ended up getting a Fujitsu ScanSnap s1300i and am very pleased with it. A little more expensive, but excellent scans, it's fast, and the multi-sheet feeder is convenient.

This is true. I thought I can make use of Rack2 better than the ScanSnap software but I was wrong. With Rack2, the documents are filed using a proprietary folders (directory) format so you will have to go to Rack2 to know what is within those folders unlike the standard ScanSnap software. The best scenario will be a Rack2 frontend with ScanSnap backend but, for some reasons, Fujitsu decided not to implement it that way.

the PC doesn't have TWAIN or ISIS support either. All of the ScanSnap models don't, and all of them use the proprietary ScanSnap drivers.

You can do this with the capture software on a Mac (I have never used it with Windows, but assume it functions similarly). Simultanioisly scan of multiple documents is definitely not a hardware based function on this scanner.

I don't know about other versions but I'm using Windows 7 Professional and the scanner works fine.

So far the best option is the fujitsu scansnap. Waiting for the price to come down a hair before I bite the bullet.

With my dealings with VuPoint scanners I would suggest you throw it away and buy a better one (more money, but worth it) that has a driver for Windows7or8. Quality copies were rare with my VuPoint.

I am on Windows 7 Home Edition and I haven't had any issues connecting or otherwise with the ScanSnap; I've been very happy with it.

We do not use the wireless feature for these scanners, and have not had time to experiment with this aspect of this model. In addition, we use SAN, not NAS. We use these and the S1500 models exclusively for all our scanning and scan everything directly to network files, if that helps.

I think the scanning software has some error correction capabilities It seems to work okay for me.If not maybe a third-party scanning software such as something by nuisance

Yes. I run Windows 8 and it works fine. The scanner actually works, too, which seems rare on a value machine.

Need to scan into Adobe Photoshop CS5 / Windows 7 / 64 Bit -- wondering if you are using it for that and if it worked.
