On the hardware side however there is good kit and bad kit and here the mechanics can justify the price if it means it doesn't misfeed or jam when dealing with *large* quantities. My wife regularly deals with faxes that are in the region of 100 pages long and since I bought the Brother she hasn't complained. I would say that it sounds like the Fujitsu scanner might be a similarly well constructed piece of kit. Kind regards, Dave.

Scans super fast, ADF(automatic document feeder) works great, paper should be straight without crumbled edges to ensure good feed scans. Stand-alone product can scan directly to USB drive(not provided) or a running computer. This model does not scan to email or ftp as a stand-alone.to scan to email or ftp you'll need to use the provided software on your computer to do so. (this is important to know as I thought differently when I purchased, but still rated 5 stars based on it's other options). To setup the item, I used a wireless laptop with a usb connected for preliminary setup. The software found the unit, found the wireless SSID name, and applied my settings to the device.
From my Windows 7 desktop and Windows 8 laptops it found the device rather easily as well (once it was connected to the wireless network). For example (Windows 7) You just go to 'Start' ->'control panel' -> 'View devices and printers' -> 'add a device' -> 'find the ADS-1000W' and add it. Then use the software in the package or your own favorite software to scan and create PDF's, JPGs etc. Speed: When scanning black and white images over the wireless the sheets feed through super quick and it gets transmitted to the computer or usb stick(not provided) very quick too. Business speed ready in my opinion.
I got three of these Epson scanners to compare and see which works better. I got the ES-400, ES-500W, and the DS-1630. I also have a DS-510 that's a few years old that I'm comparing to. I'm a computer tech who works with a lot of small medical offices. I prefer the Fujitsu Snapscan scanners, but a lot of offices need twain scanning to integrate with their software. The Fujitsu scanners that will do twain are pretty expensive so I tend to go Epson for the offices that need twain. I wanted to see if there's a reason to buy one or the other for the offices I work with.
The ES-400, ES-500W and my old DS-510 are all only document feeder scanners. The new ES-400 and ES-500W are 35 page per minute which is a good step up from the 26 page per minute of the DS-510.
