Features of the ScanSnap

The ScanSnap is a scanner that is capable of double-sided scanning in both monochrome and color. The ScanSnap contains the following features:

• You can turn documents into data by just pressing the [Scan] button!

You can turn documents cluttering up your desk into PDF or JPEG files so that you can

view, edit, manage, and archive them on your computer in a convenient manner.

Digitized documents are easy to print and attach to e-mail messages.

In addition, the ScanSnap can automatically recognize the type of documents, color,

gray or black-and-white, so that you do not have to set the color mode for each docu-

ment to be scanned.

• You can scan documents with speed and efficiency!

(Automatic Resolution Function and Intelligent Auto Color Detection)

Double-sided color documents of A4 or letter size paper can be scanned at a speed of

about 20 sheets per minute. (When [Image quality] is set to [Auto] (*1), [Color mode] to

[Auto Color Detection], [Compression rate] to [3], and other settings to defaults) (*2)

*1 : 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 image data with a high resolution without changing settings, when interacting with text recognition software (for example, for business cards).

*2 : - Depending on the document, scanning speed may become slower in [B&W] (Black&White)

mode. Example: Scanning color brochures in [B&W] mode (converting a color image to black-andwhite)

- Scanning speed may become slower, when [Correct skewed character strings automatically.] and/or [Convert to Searchable PDF] is enabled.

Features of the ScanSnap

• You can scan different sized documents together!

(Mixed Size Scanning + Carrier Sheet Scanning)

Paper sizes are automatically recognized at scan time, allowing documents containing a

mixture of different paper sizes to be scanned in one go.

Documents containing photographs, irregular-shaped and delicate papers, and paper

sizes larger than the normal A4/Letter size may also be scanned using the Carrier

Sheet provided. Multiple Carrier Sheets can be scanned together, either with or without

regular paper sheets.

• The small size saves desktop space!

Smaller than a sheet of A4 or letter size paper, the ScanSnap never requires much

desktop space.

Features of the ScanSnap

• The Quick Menu lets even beginners to operate the ScanSnap with auto-

matic ease!

The Quick Menu is simple enough for first-time use by complete beginners. When the

[Scan] button is pressed to scan a document, the Quick Menu is displayed so that you

can just select the action you want to perform on the Quick Menu.

• You can create searchable PDF files!

You can create searchable PDF files by automatically performing text recognition for

scanned PDF files.

You can also text-recognize only sections defined by a highlight pen and add these as

keywords for the PDF file.

• You can e-mail a scanned image or output the scanned image to a

printer immediately after scanning!

You can attach the scanned image to an e-mail or print out the scanned image without

having to start applications.

• You can convert paper documents into Word/Excel/PowerPoint files!

Use ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap supplied with the ScanSnap to convert the

scanned image data directly into the Word/Excel/PowerPoint file.

For Mac OS, you can convert only into Word/Excel files.

• You can arrange and manage image data by using with ScanSnap

Organizer!

• Setting a keyword (Intelligent Indexing)

You can set a keyword using the following methods.

− Recognize a character string on a page (OCR process) and set as a keyword

(Zone OCR)

− Set a character string as a keyword

− Set a marked character string as a keyword (Marker Index)

− Drag and drop a keyword onto the keyword list (Keyword Addition by Drag&Drop)

You can view set keywords on thumbnails. (Keyword Overlay)

• Distributing files by keyword (Automatic Keyword Sort)

Files can also be distributed into a folder according to the keyword set for files as a distribution condition.

• Search a variety of files (Search Engine Selection)

Files can be found quickly by searching by file name, keyword, text, or date.

• Cropping marked sections (Intelligent Cropping)

Sections on a page that are marked with a highlight pen can be cut and pasted elsewhere.

Features of the ScanSnap

• You can file business cards with ease!

With the provided business card application, business cards can be easily converted

into data.

With CardMinder, you can recognize characters on a business card, and create a data-

base to facilitate card data management and searches.

The provided business card application is as follows.

CardMinder (can only be used if S1500 is purchased)

Cardiris (can only be used if S1500M is purchased)

• Multifeed can be automatically detected!

If a multifeed (*) should occur while a document is scanned, an ultrasonic sensor auto-

matically detects the multifeed. With the recovery function, you can easily check the

location of a multifeed and restore the data.

* : Multifeed is an error that occurs when two or more sheets are fed into the ScanSnap simulta-

neously.

• The ScanSnap is available both for Windows and Mac OS!

The ScanSnap is supplied with both Windows and Mac OS (*) versions. For either OS,

you can use the ScanSnap in a manner that best suits your office environment.

• Do not write on, color, stain, or cut the portion striped in black and white on the Carrier Sheet.

Doing so may prevent the document from being correctly scanned with the Carrier Sheet.

• Do not place the Carrier Sheet upside-down on the ScanSnap. Doing so can cause a paper

jam, or damage the Carrier Sheet.

• Do not leave a document on the Carrier Sheet for an extended period of time. The ink on the

document might be transferred onto the Carrier Sheet.

• Do not leave the Carrier Sheet in locations that are exposed to elevated temperatures; for

example, locations exposed to direct sunlight or near a heating apparatus, for an extended period of time. Do not use the Carrier Sheet under high-temperature conditions. If used under such a condition, it may be deformed.

• Do not bend or forcefully pull the Carrier Sheet.

• Do not use a damaged Carrier Sheet. Doing so can damage the ScanSnap or cause a mal-

function.

• To avoid deformation of the Carrier Sheet, do not put anything heavy on it and keep it on a

level surface when not in use.

• Be careful not to cut your fingers when touching the edge of the Carrier Sheet.

• Do not insert more than one small-size material such as pictures and post cards in the Carrier

Sheet per scan. Doing so can cause a paper jam. It is recommended to scan small-size materials one at a time.

• If a paper jam occurs frequently, feed about 50 sheets of Plain Paper Copier (PPC) or recy-

cled paper, and then scan the document by using the Carrier Sheet. You can use either unused or used PPC/recycled paper.
