- Is the fi-7480 worth it over the fi-7160?
- Yes if you regularly scan A3 or mixed-size batches. The fi-7160 is A4-only; the fi-7480 adds A3 capacity and a larger feeder for busier departments.
- Does it scan both sides in one pass?
- Yes. It duplex-scans in a single pass at up to 80 pages per minute, so two-sided batches do not need to be flipped by hand.
- Does it work with a Mac?
- No. Fujitsu specifies Windows support only, and the bundled software is Windows-based. Mac users would need third-party software and drivers, which are not officially supported.
- What paper sizes can it handle?
- It handles A3, A4, letter and legal, plus long documents through the 100-sheet ADF. It is aimed at offices that mix sizes in one batch.
- What is in the box?
- The scanner, power supply, USB cable, setup DVD and documentation. Rollers and pads are pre-installed; spare consumables are sold separately.
- How often do rollers need replacing?
- Fujitsu rates the rollers and separation pad for a set number of scans, and heavy users replace them periodically. Worn rollers are the usual cause of feed errors.
