Fujitsu RICOH fi-800R Ultra-Compact, Color Duplex Document Scanner with Dual Auto Document Feeders (ADF)

My Epson duplex auto-feed scanner finally died and I spent hours researching scanners before I decided upon this Fujitsu. I am so glad I got it because it is is the easiest scanner I've had (I do a lot of work in photos and document processing/editing/archiving- so this is my 6th scanner in 20 years). Once you have it setup, the software installed, and your preferences setup for one-touch scanning, all you do it put the documents in the feeder and press one button and done! I have mine setup to always scan in color, duplex and to output to pdf. It's just so easy. So far, I've had maybe two jams in about 100 scan sets, easy to reset. Finally, the footprint is minimal which looks great and frees up space. Highly recommended.

I was impressed with the over-all build and ease-of-use, but once I worked my way through a pile of old photos I had scanned, I was very disappointed to see most of them had the darks completely washed out. Photos that had relatively poor lighting were almost entirely black. No amount of setting adjustments fixed this issue, almost all the photo scans are too dark. I'm basically going to have to buy a different scanner if I want to digitize my old photos. For the price, this is a huge disappointment. My smartphone does the tone-mapping better than the scanner.

I returned the one I received. Documents would not feed through the machine correctly. Several documents were damaged. Only feeding regular letter-sized documents, nothing unusual. Tried tech support but phone number didn't work. Website only routes to sales. When it worked it did generate good images but was mis-feeding documents about 40% of the time.

Receive today and installed. Install took a very long time and during the installation the install tries to get you to buy more software. Product appears nice but the scanning software leaves a lot to be desired. When the staff leaves tonight I am going to work on it to see if I can streamline the operation but right now I am leaning on sending it back. I wanted to save time over the large office scanner but right now I'm not sure.

Definitely cheap and very loud to be so expensive. You'd think for the cost of this product it would be quite a bit more efficient and easier to use. It's very loud

This product is great! We had to replace an old Panasonic scanner that finally called it quits. This one takes up so much less space on the desk and boy is it fast! Love how it takes the paper differently than scanning an ID or Passport, the process is easier now. Can't wait till we can replace the other scanner with another one of these!

I've used this brand for many years, and this model is smaller than previous ones I've purchased. Works as well as other models almost twice the size.
