Review on Fujitsu ScanSnap S1100i Mobile Scanner for PC/Mac by Aaron Jensen

This little scanner is great. I use it to scan receipts and other documents. I like that it is USB powered. That way I can just plug it into my computer anywhere and not have to fiddle with a wall wart. It's pretty fast, which is another plus. Finally, the little Mac app that comes with it has some very nice bells and whistles. Switching between JPEG and PDF output is done via a pop-up window with its system tray icon, so you don't have to dive into a bunch of menus. There are several options for automatic file names. Three formats for naming with date and time, a custom filename with an optional counter, and definitely the ability to open an open dialog with a name of your choice so you can change the name on the fly. JPEG and PDF files can have different settings. It creates multi-page PDFs if you want. Also, there are a ton of other options that I've never used. Overall it's very full featured and the options work the way I want them to. It's one thing to have a bunch of options. It's another thing to have a well-designed user interface that makes it easy to use these options. Here's what the ScanSnap S1100i has.
