Scanners that work with Microsoft ARM processer

I bought a Microsoft Surface Laptop last week. Got everything set up and then realized my ScanSnap scanner was not working with the new laptop. I called them and they said none of their scanners work with the ARM Processer in my laptop. Does anyone know what brand of scanners DO work with the ARM processer??? This is a HUGE problem for me. I am almost paperless and scan things all the time.

    I'm trying to check on this, but right now the best I can offer is that it appears that Mopria compatibility MAY be the key. Certified Products (mopria.org) does not list Fujitsu (Scansnap). Again, I'm attempting to get more information.

    Hello Gloria Major,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I'm sorry to learn of the inconvenience, but I may not be able to help you more on this issue because we are not allowed to provide any third party software or hardware to our customers due to community rules.

    In fact, I think you can ask some of the common scanner brand suppliers about whether their scanners are compatible with the Surface Pro 11's arm Processer, and you should be able to get some recommendations from them.

    I won't be able to help you, but I'll leave that question open in case one of our amazing volunteers has ideas for you.

    Best Regards,

    Mitchell | Microsoft Community Support Specialist
