Conventional scanners are too bulky for carrying around with you when you’re on the go. There are plenty of portable devices around for all your scanning needs when you’re away from home or the office. The Fujitsu ScanSnap S1100 is one of the better options available in the current market.

This easy-to-use scanner is ideal for scanning at home or when you are travelling. Perfect for scanning receipts, contracts, recipes or even plastic cards, the Fujitsu ScanSnap takes scanning beyond the desktop.
Design
- Measuring just a mere 273 x 48 x 34 mm when closed, the S1100 is very easy to carry around.
- Instead of being battery-powered, the S1100 relies on a single USB connection to a PC or a Mac, most probably a notebook, for both power and data.
- The scanner can be turned on by just pulling down the small flap located at the front. It also provides a ledge to feed paper or photos from. To the right side of the flap is an illuminated blue Scan/Stop button and to the left end is a single USB socket.
- Scanned items can be fed straight onto the desktop or can be directed vertically upwards by flipping the scanner’s top cover.
Features
- The S1100 is packed with two main applications and two ancillary applications, all custom-written.
- When the Scan button is pressed after feeding in a sheet of paper, a photo or a business card, the ScanSnap manager opens up to control the scanning of one or more pages.
- A single A4 page can be scanned extremely fast at 300ppi.
- Has a heavily PDF-based scanning system.
- Colour scans at up to 600ppi and black-and-white ones up to 1,200ppi are handled well.
- Has a seamless linking feature to cloud services.
So get ready to enter the paperless era with the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1100!
