- Scanning speed may become slower when [Correct skewed character strings automatically], [Allow automatic image rotation] and/or [Convert to Searchable PDF] is enabled.
zSmall size saves desktop space!

space.
15

photos or illustrations in grayscale mode, and can optimize PDF file sizes with this
function.

Detection)
Paper sizes are automatically recognized when a scan is performed, allowing
documents with a mixture of different paper sizes to be scanned all at once.
zResolution level is converted to match the paper size! (Automatic
Resolution Function)
The documents are scanned at 300 dpi. If the paper size is 148 mm or smaller, image
files are output at 300 dpi. Otherwise, image files are output at 200 dpi. You can scan
high resolution image data (for example business cards) without changing any settings
when the scanner is interacting with text recognition software.
zCreate searchable PDF files!
You can create searchable PDF files by performing automatic text recognition for PDF
files after scanning.
You can also perform text recognition only on sections defined by a highlight pen and
add these as keywords for the PDF file.
zE-mail or print a scanned image directly after scanning!
You can attach the scanned image to an e-mail without needing any additional
applications or print it out instead of using a copy machine.
zThe ScanSnap supports both Windows and Mac OS!
