I thought it would be cool to occasionally share thoughts on stuff that I've found really useful. Here's one:
It's a compact size (so it fits on a cluttered desk without too much hassle), sheet-fed (so you don't have to open and close the lid for each sheet of paper) scanner that simply does one thing really well. It scans documents and converts them to the digital PDF format (Adobe's Portable Document Format)
Once you've digitized the documents (or PDF'ed 'em as some people like to say) you can attach the PDF file to an email and transmit it wherever it needs to go.
The PDF format is very widely used across various system platforms. The Acrobat Reader is free and can be quickly downloaded, although most new computers are shipped with a PDF Reader installed, if I'm not mistaken.
Another advantage of having a digital copy of a document: If the paper original gets misfiled (Oh, No, That Never Happens), you can always find the PDF file on your computer and print another copy.
And no, I'm not affiliated with Fujitsu in any way, shape or form. I'm just a regular consumer commenting on a product.
Own it....love it....getting adobe acrobat (NOT ACROBAT READER WHICH IS FREE) is almost worth the price of the scanner. Easy, easy to use.
