Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the ScanSnap S300 Color Image Scanner product.
The ScanSnap S300 is a color image scanner capable of scanning double-sided
documents. It is a complete Office Solution, which helps you improve productivity and
solve scanning problems in your office. The features of the ScanSnap product are as
follows:
• 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 in size 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
runs Windows® 2000, Windows® XP or Windows Vista® and with Scan mode set to
Normal, Color mode Auto, and Compression rate 3, and others set to defaults)
• You can eliminate the nuisance of a bulky device!
Smaller than a sheet of A4 or letter paper in size, the ScanSnap can fit unobtrusively
on your desktop all the time.

Celeron® M 430 1.73 GHz or higher that
• 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.
• You can file business cards with ease!
TM
With CardMinder
, which is supplied with the scanner, business cards can be easily
filed and searched for using the OCR function.
• The Quick menu lets even beginners 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 scanner 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.

Safety Precautions
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND BE SURE TO HEED ALL WARNINGS
AND CAUTIONS DESCRIBED BELOW.
WARNING
The following describes important warnings.
Do not touch the power plug, or connect/disconnect the power or USB bus
power cable with wet hands. Doing so might cause electric shock.
A damaged power or USB bus power cable may cause fire or electric shock.
Do not place heavy objects on the power or USB bus power cable, or pull,
bend, twist, heat, damage or modify it.
Do not use damaged power or USB bus power cables or power plugs. Also,
do not use the power cable when the wall socket is loose.
Use only specified power, USB bus power, and interface cables. Failure to
use the correct cables might cause electric shock and equipment failure.
Use this scanner only at the indicated power voltage and current. Improper
power voltage and current might cause fire or electric shock.
Also, do not connect to multiple-power strips.
Wipe off any dust from the metal part and surrounding section of the power
plug and those of the USB bus power cable with a soft, dry cloth.
Accumulated dust might cause fire or electric shock.
Do not install the scanner in locations subject to oil smoke, steam, humidity,
and dust. Doing so might cause a fire or electric shock.
To avoid low-temperature burn, do not operate the scanner while keeping
touching its heat-generating section such as the bottom of the scanner or the
AC adapter for a long time.
Do not cover the scanner or the AC adapter with a cloth or blanket while the
power is being supplied to the scanner. This can help excessive heat
generation, and may cause fire.
Do not use the scanner at a place such as a bathroom, shower room, or
swimming pool where it may easily get wet or moistured. Doing so might
cause electric shock or fire.
ScanSnap S300 Getting Started 8
If you detect heat coming from the device or detect other problems such as
smoke, strange smells or noises, immediately turn off the scanner, and
disconnect its power plug from the power outlet, or unplug the USB bus
power cable from the computer.
Make sure that the smoking has stopped, and then contact the store where
you bought the scanner or an authorized FUJITSU scanner service provider.
Firmly insert the power plug and into the power outlet, or the USB bus power
cable into the USB port on the computer as far it can go. Not doing so might
cause electric shock or fire.
Do not place heavy objects on the scanner or use the scanner's top surface
for performing other work. Improper installation might cause injuries or
scanning failure.
When the scanner is not used for a long period, be sure to disconnect the
power plug from the power outlet, or disconnect the USB bus power cable
from the computer for safety. Not doing so might cause electric shock or fire.
In case you have dropped the scanner and any of the parts (e.g., cover) is
broken, disconnect the power plug from the power outlet, or disconnect the
USB bus power cable from the computer. Then, contact the store where you
bought the scanner or an authorized FUJITSU scanner service provider.
Do not insert or drop metal or flammable foreign objects into the scanner. Do
not scan wet documents or documents with paper clips or staples. Do not
splash or allow the scanner to get wet.
If foreign objects (water, small metal objects, liquids, etc.) get inside the
scanner, immediately turn off the scanner and disconnect the power plug
from the power outlet, or the USB bus power cable from the computer, and
disconnect the interface cable from the computer. Then, contact the store
where you bought the scanner or an authorized FUJITSU scanner service
provider. Pay particular attention to this warning in households where there
are small children.
Do not take apart or modify the scanner. The inside of the scanner contains
high-voltage components. Touching these components might cause fire or
electric shock.
To avoid injuries, do not place the scanner in an area where small children may
be able to reach.
Do not use the scanner while driving a car for safety. Accidents can happen.
9
Do not leave the scanner in the direct sunlight, at high temperature such as in
a car in the scorching sun, or near heating apparatus. Doing so might cause
excessive heat to build up inside the scanner, causing heating, deforming, or
melting of the scanner parts (e.g., cover), and raising the temperature inside
the scanner, which could result in fire or scanner trouble. Install the scanner in
a well-ventilated location.
Do not move the scanner with the power and interface cables connected as
this might damage the cables, causing fire, electric shock or injuries.
Before moving the scanner, be sure to disconnect the power plug from the
power outlet, and disconnect interface cables as well. Also, make sure that
the floor is free of obstructions.
Avoid getting a sleeve, necktie, or hair caught up in any scanner mechanism
when scanning as this may cause injuries.
CAUTION
The following describes important cautions.
Install the scanner on a desk so that none of its parts protrude outside of the
desktop. Also, make sure that the scanner is installed on a flat, level surface.
Install the scanner away from strong magnetic fields and other sources of
electronic noise. Also, protect the scanner from static electricity as this might
cause the scanner to malfunction.
Do not use aerosol sprays to clean the scanner. Aerosol sprays cause dirt and
dust to enter the scanner, resulting in scanner failure and malfunction.
Do not use the scanner immediately after moving it from a cold place to a
warm room. This may cause condensation, which might lead to scanning
errors. Let the device dry about one or two hours before you use it.
When carrying the scanner outside while it is raining or snowing, pay close
attention so the scanner does not get wet or moistured.
When handling the paper, be careful not to cut your fingers by the paper.
