Digital camera reviews of Fujitsu fi-6130 Duplex Scanner (PA03540-B055)
Digital camera Review: Amazing technology, but disappointing implementation
Summary: 2 Stars
The ADF technology in this product is amazing. It can separate a paper stack of the thinnest sheets, and scan them all one by one at incredible speed. All you hear is "whoosh whoosh" as each sheet goes through the ADF. Will not double-feed as long as the ultrasonic double-feed detection is enabled. I do not believe any other ADF scanner can compete.
But I had more difficulties getting started with this scanner than with any other I ever had.
Initially Windows would not recognize it as a USB device, possibly because it draws too much amperage from the USB port. I had to try several different USB ports until I found one that worked. I have not had this problem with the Fujitsu ScanSnap scanners.
Then the scanning software that came with it would pop up a generic error message, and refuse to scan. After some detective work, I figured out that the Fujitsu scanning software was attempting to use the drivers from an old Cannon scanner instead of its own Fujitsu drivers. I was surprised that the Fujitsu QA did not test this software on PCs with other scanner drivers. So I had to uninstall the drivers for the Cannon scanner to get the Fujitsu scanning software to work.
The scanning software itself was not very "user-friendly". It had lots of buttons and menu items titled "Settings" and "Setting" and "Configure", all mixed together in a messy UI with little indication of how one differentiated from the other.
Once I got it to scan, the scanning progress window kept stealing keyboard focus each time a new sheet was scanned. This prevented me, for example, from typing emails while the scanner was scanning a stack of papers. I can't believe nobody at Fujitsu noticed this little annoyance. I had to download a separate utility from Microsoft called "TweakUI", and tweak my Windows Registry with it to disallow applications on my PC from stealing keyboard focus from other applications.
Finally I got the scanner to scan, and started scanning lots of documents with it. By now I was pretty impressed with the scanner, thinking that it's not so bad. ...even though there was still that awkward pause between when I directed its software to scan, and when it would actually start scanning.
Then after a few weeks, I started noticing a streak running along the length of everything it scanned. It turned out to be a simple crack it developed on the scanning element glass.
I pondered repairing it at home, but did not want to risk voiding the warranty on this pricey little gem, and it was less than 30 days, so I could still return it. In any case, I could not find the appropriate spare parts on the Fujitsu website. So with significant disappointment, I shipped it back to Amazon.
Amazon refunded the money.
Amazing ADF technology, but hope Fujitsu can improve on the rest of its implementation.
