Invaluable for a digital office, 2008-02-16
I decided for the New Year to start to make a digital office. I have been scanning all my receipts and statements to save them as PDF, and I have started to go back to scan past years receipts and statements, so as to weed out my paper files. My flatbed scanner is fine for a single sheet, but I was looking at hundreds of sheets.
A friend recommended the ScanSnap S510M. It is absolutely amazing. I cannot believe how fast it scans a whole pile of papers, even if they are of mixed size. I think it has only jammed twice, and both times it was with a page that was very wrinkled. At first I thought it was a bit pricey, but then I found out you get Adobe Acrobat Professional, as well as some other programs. I have not really used the other programs, but I use Acrobat all the time now. This is really a must have if you plan to create a digital office for your documents.

Just bought my second one . . . , 2008-02-11
Here's the best thing I can say -- just bought a second one so I can have one in both of two places I live. I had very high expectations of this and it far exceeded even though. If you are looking for a small footprint scanner that works fast to keep paper documents in an electronic format, this is for you. Buy it.

 It's for a Mac, of course!, 2008-02-08
You'd think everyone would know this is for Mac's. I was reading of Adobe Professional so strongly I was looking to have a "black one" at home and the "white one" at work.
I got the black one and when I finally get around to using it things should be fine - the white one is now in someone else's home. Wish I'd read MAC sooner. Just in case there is someone else out there who doesn't read - this is for a MAC! I could have sent it back but I was trying to think of ways I could use it and 30 days zipped by! Oh well, my friend says it's going to help him.

Makes scanning and going paperless a breeze, 2008-02-08
I've tried several times to go paperless in my home office. Each time I'd get started, but end up creating stacks of "things to be scanned". Finally, I'd just go back to filing the papers as it was just so much faster. Make a label, stick it in a file and be done.
The ScanSnap makes it just as fast to scan the document, receipt - whatever and file it electronically! Works beautifully. I set up an account on Mozy to create an offline back up of the critical materials. That along with Time Machine backing up everything on my Mac automatically, I have three copies just as easy as one.
While it took me a couple of months to decide to take the $499 plunge, I'm glad I did. I love this little machine. Small, fast and easy.

THIS GADGET RULES!, 2008-02-06
just got this scanner yesterday, so there may be many features i dont even know about yet, but i am now officially on my way to a paperless home office. i just scanned all of my 2006 bellsouth phone bills, 84 pages in under 2 minutes (yes, all at once without a paper jam). i set the compression to high and speed to fast. since there is no need to make these searchable lower qualtity works just fine. had scansnap output all into one pdf, a whopping 6mb! love it as i can now shredd those hated bellsouth bills! here some advice to help you save time getting up to speed:
think about how you want to organize your papers. for example, i have a folder called phone bills in which there are subfolders like bellsouth, which further have subfolders for 2006, 2007, etc
then you have to decide how you want scansnap to goup the scans. everything into one big pdf, or should it create a separate pdf for every 1, 2 , 3 or more pages? this will also depend on the type of doc you are working with and how pages you have. you can set the software to work in various modes too, like to file, to folder, to email, to print. i found that to file is the most straightforward method for what i am doing. i simply have the software name each file untitled with a consecutive number. that way when i set it to save to \cable tv\2007 each monthly bill will be numbered in order, highest being the latest. but then again, you can do anything you want! what it supposedly can do but have not figured out yet is how make the program automatically make the resulting pdf searchable (in essence its plain text but still looks like a scan).
