I have a Fujitsu scanner that I cannot get working on Windows 7 x64. I have downloaded both the TWAIN and ISIS x64 drivers from the fujitsu website but Windows still does not recognize. I have tried it out using GIMP and Paint.net, neither program sees the scanner. I have also tried the fi-5000N Configuration Tool from Fujitsu but to no avail. Anyone know what drivers i need to install?

Fi 5110 EOX is a ScanSnap scanner, in this case the scanner is already bundled with ScanSnap Manager to do the scanning. This scanner is not a TWAIN compliant scanner. The driver from the Fujitsu website you refer to is for the "fi 5110 C" which is completely different from ScanSnap scanners. So I think you have to find the ScanSnap Manager software that works with Windows 7.

However, editing the inf file will make the hash no longer match the file, and windows will issue a fatal error during installation, so you need to reboot into troubleshooting mode, and choose option 7 to allow installation of non- signed drivers. The process is explained in a link from his blog post.

Once the driver was installed, I installed an open source software program named NAPS2 (Not Another PDF Scanner) and created a profile for this scanner using TWAIN mode, and it worked great to scan both sides of the sheet in duplex mode, and ran OCR on it too!

Thus, I was delighted recently when Fujitsu was nice enough to send me an evaluation unit of the ScanSnap fi-5110C, the next model up in the line. You can find this model for about $600 to $700 at various online stores.

The ScanSnap fi-5110c is a good choice for solo or small firms that want more control over scanning to PDF. It includes a good TWAIN driver and the full version of Adobe Acrobat 7 Standard. Fujitsu tells me that they will be upgrading to Acrobat 8 shortly. This device is compatible with both XP and Vista.

Using the Digital Endorser, you can stamp dates or even Bates Numbers on the file as images. Oddly, this feature differed quite a bit between the documentation supplied with the scanner and my software.

Text definition for all scanners was good and worked well for OCR in Acrobat. The fi-5110C did tend to fill in some areas at its default settings, but that can be corrected using the driver. The following images are at a 400% view.
