fi-8040 Fast Front Office & Desktop Document, Receipt, ID Card Scanner with 50 Page Auto Feeder and PC-Less DirectScan Network Scanning Capability

Good for the Price. Very fast. Would buy it again.

This was a gift and it’s very loved! Super easy to use and great quality scans. Especially love the auto document feeder!

Purchased this after seeing a review on Youtube regarding the ease of use with scanning cards in top loaders, semi rigids, and even in penny sleeves. It works... Sometimes... It jams about 75 of the time. And when it does go through, your top loaders & card savers will get scratched. Tried running some penny sleeved cards through it and sometimes it would work, but other times it would get stuck on a penny sleeve and ruin the sleeve, sometimes the card. Mind you I made sure to test with junk cards. Glad I did. Another issue I had is, when the cards finally scanned, sometimes they would come out slightly distorted or over stretched. See the pictures attached. None of these pics have been modified by me. This was the results I got from the scanner. Lastly, if you're going to scan a Prizm or Chrome card, they will come out VERY dark. Again see attached pics. The software was not the best, very clunky. But it is the free version. They do have a premium paid version which I'm sure is more intuitive. I'm back to taking photos in a well-lit area. I get much better results, but it is time consuming.

Purchased this because I saw others using something like it on YouTube to scan cards quickly. Once received the concept seemed really helpful, because if it worked like it was supposed to this would have been a godsend. However, this doesn't work as it should. The auto feed jammed a lot. It would damage raw cards, chew up sleeved cards and jam often with toploads or card savers. In theory this is a great product but the execution wasn't there. Ultimately had to return for a refund.

We purchased this scanner to replace our ScanSnap ix500. That scanner is still running fine, but we wanted to let users directly email scans to themselves. After fiddling with settings for a couple of weeks we learned today from Level 2 tech support at Ricoh that the fi-8040 is not compatible with Office365 email. They have a feature request on file, but no ETA. We are trying another approach (using an email relay setup) but it is frustrating that the SMTP setup just doesn't work with one of the main business email platforms. I would love to describe the scan quality, speed, paper handling aspects, but we haven't made it that far yet. Also, you can either configure it to operate without a server or you can configure it be connected to a PC, but not both.

Thought it would make scanning sports cards easier and fast! Nope! Spent more time re running the cards through to get a picture that isn’t too dark to read. Also jams half the time and damages the cards while doing so. Over priced junk

After 8 months of trying to get this scanner to work with sportscards in the thinnest Toploaders (35mm).. Trying all different methods and cleaning repeatedly I have come to the conclusion this scannner will NOT work to scan sportcards even though there are reviews that say it will, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. Multiple at a time or one at a time doesn't matter. More often then not you get a distorted picture. Also the maufacturer will not even work with you at all.
