Fujitsu S300 Operator Guide

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing Color Image Scanner ScanSnap S300 (hereinafter referred to as the ScanSnap). The ScanSnap is a scanner that is capable of double-sided scanning in both monochrome and color. The ScanSnap has the following advantages:

■ You can turn images on paper into PDF files by just pressing the [SCAN] button!

You can turn documents cluttering up your desk into PDF files, which are easy to print and attach to e-mail messages; you can view, edit, manage, and archive them on your computer right at your fingertips. In addition, the ScanSnap can automatically recognize the type of documents, color or black-and-white, so that the size of the scanned image file can be reduced when documents containing both color and black-and-white pages are scanned. (Moreover, the ScanSnap can automatically remove blank pages from the document to further reduce the size of the file.)

■ You can scan documents with speed and efficiency!

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

• Power-cable-connected: Approx. 8 sheets/minute

• USB-bus-power-cable-connected: Approx. 4 sheets/minute

(when used with a computer with Intel Windows

Normal, Color mode Auto, and Compression rate 3, and others set to defaults) (*)

(*) -Depending on the document, scanning speed may become slower in [B&W

(Black&White)] mode (due to process for converting data scanned in color to monochrome data).

Example: Scanning color brochures in [B&W] mode

-When [Correct skewed character strings automatically], [Allow automatic image rotation], and/or automatic text recognition is enabled, scanning speed may become slower.

2000, Windows® XP or Windows Vista® and with Scan mode set to

Celeron® M 430 1.73 GHz or higher that runs

■ You can eliminate the nuisance of a bulky device!

Smaller than a sheet of A4 or letter size paper, the ScanSnap can fit unobtrusively on your desktop all the time.

■ Compact, light-weight, portable body design!

Its compact, light-weight design makes it possible to hand-carry the scanner together with your laptop computer. There is no need to find an electrical outlet for the ScanSnap if you use the supplied USB bus power cable to connect to your computer.

ScanSnap S300 Operator's Guide i

■ You can file business cards with ease!

™

With CardMinder filed and searched for using the OCR function.

■ The Quick menu lets even beginners to operate the ScanSnap with automatic ease!

When the [SCAN] button is pressed, the Quick menu is displayed. What you should do is to select the action you want to perform on the Quick menu. The Quick menu is simple enough for first-time use by completely neophytes. (Quick menu mode)

■ You can send off the scanned image by e-mail or output the scanned image to the

printer immediately after scanning!

Without starting applications, you can attach the scanned image to e-mail or make copies of the scanned image by outputting it to the printer.

Note: The ScanSnap does not conform to TWAIN and ISIS standards.

This Operator’s Guide describes how to handle and operate the ScanSnap. Before using the ScanSnap, be sure to read this document thoroughly for proper operation.
