ScanSnap Image Scanner?

Any opinions on the Fujitsu ScanSnap Image Scanner - I'm using it with A
MacBook Pro?

Apologies if this is the wrong forum!

Although it's not a printer I bought one to digitise a lot of resources
my other half has in paper form so she can get 8 massive boxes of
worksheets and stuff she used for teaching into a single 2Gb memory stick.

The fi-5110EOX2 we got was fast, does duplex scanning at the same time
as everything else and the lack of TWAIN standard scanner drivers was
not an issue as we were happy to use the bundled Acrobat Standard to do
99% of the digitised format handling.

The only problem we hit was that it has problems with tattered pages or
bent corners on sheets of paper if you try to put them through in batches.

Other than that, very good...

Thanks for that Martin - I have had siilar experience, loaded tons of stuff
on to just a 256 memory stick!
Now, another question - it came with a bundled copy of Readiris Pro 11
Corporate edition - flumoxed (in a daze - like a duck in thunder) about how
to use it - is it just an OCR program or can it be used with the ScanSnap
thingy??
