Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Color Image Scanner ScanSnap S510 (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 and made PDF files searchable by just
pressing the [SCAN] button!
You can turn documents cluttering up your desk into PDF files to manage and archive
them on your computer. By using Adobe
you can view, edit, and search PDF files right at your fingertips.
PDF files are easy to print and share scanned images by e-mail.
In addition to the advantages above, 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.)
®
Acrobat®, which comes with the ScanSnap,
■ 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
about 18 sheets/minute (when Scan mode is set to Normal, Color mode is set to Auto,
and Compression rate is set to 3). (*1)
(*1) -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.
■ 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.
■ You can file business cards with ease!

3.2 Paper Size of Documents to be Scanned
ATTENTION
HINT
• Documents hand-written with a pencil may be smeared during a scan.
It is recommended that the Carrier Sheet be used.
If such documents are scanned without using the Carrier Sheet, the rollers of
the ScanSnap get dirty and multi-feeding may be caused. In the case where
you scan such documents without using Carrier Sheet, clean the rollers as
often as possible. For details, refer to "8.2 Cleaning the Scanner Exterior"
(page 231).
• Carbonless paper contains chemical substances that may damage the Pad
ASSY and/or rollers such as the pick roller. When scanning documents of
carbonless paper, keep in mind the following:
- Clean the Pad ASSY and rollers as frequently as possible.
- The service life of the ScanSnap may be shorter than you use woodfree
paper.
• The pad and/or rollers of the ScanSnap could be damaged if photographs or
sheets of paper affixed to the document come into contact with the pad and/or
rollers during scanning.
3
Using the ScanSnap
Do not scan the following types of documents:
• Documents with paper clips and/or staples (Remove clips and staples to scan
these documents.)
• Documents before ink goes dry (Scan documents after the ink goes dry)
• Documents larger than Legal (width: 8.5 in. length: 14 in.)
• Documents folded in half larger than 216 x 297 mm (W x L) (8.5 x 11.7 in.)
• Materials other than paper such as the fabric, metal foil, transparency, or
plastic card.
If you scan the following types of documents without using the Carrier Sheet,
the documents may be damaged or scanned incorrectly.
It is recommended that the documents be inserted inside the Carrier Sheet
when you scan the documents described below with the ScanSnap.
• Documents smaller than 2 (width) x 2 (length) in.
• Documents thinner than 52 g/m
2
(14 lb) and thicker than 127 g/m2 (34 lb)
• Documents of nonuniform thickness (e.g. envelopes and paper sheets with
other paper sheets affixed)

Page 68
In addition, keep in mind the following points when you use the Carrier Sheet.
ATTENTION
• Use the Carrier Sheet only for the ScanSnap.
• Avoid writing letters on, coloring, staining, or cutting the portion striped in black
and white on the Carrier Sheet. Otherwise, the ScanSnap cannot scan the
document with the Carrier Sheet correctly.
• Load the Carrier Sheet one by one on the ScanSnap.
• Do not place the Carrier Sheet upside-down on the ScanSnap. Otherwise, a
paper jam may happen, or the Carrier Sheet may be damaged.
• Do not leave a document on the Carrier Sheet for an extended period of time.
The ink on the document may 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 pull the Carrier Sheet by force.
• Do not use a damaged Carrier Sheet. Otherwise, the ScanSnap may be
damaged or may malfunction.
• To avoid the 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 touching the edge of the Carrier Sheet.
• Do not insert more than one small-size material such as the picture and post
card in the Carrier Sheet per scan. Otherwise, a paper jam may occur. It is
recommended small-size materials be scanned one-by-one.
• If a paper jam occurs frequently, feed about 50 sheets of PPC paper or
recycled paper, and then scan the document by using Carrier Sheet.
* You can use either unused or used PPC/recycled paper.

■ How to load documents
1. Align the edges of the document.
Align the edges of the document as follows:
1) Straighten the edges of the document.
Straighten both edges of the document stack for scanning it correctly.
2) Check the number of sheets in the document stack.
The maximum number of sheets that can be loaded on the ScanSnap is as follows:
For A4-size paper or smaller, a document stack of 5 mm or less (50 sheets at 64

■ Loading Documents Using the Carrier Sheet
The Carrier Sheet is a plastic sheet for loading the document specifically for the ScanSnap S510/
S500/fi-5110EOX2 Series. It allows you to scan documents that cannot be scanned as it is. The
document of larger than A4 size, such as A3 and B4 sizes, can be scanned by folding it in half.
Insert the folded document into the Carrier Sheet and scan it in duplex mode.
You can scan documents that can easily get scratched such as photographs or irregular-shaped
documents difficult to load on the ScanSnap; for example, clippings of magazine and newspaper
articles.
The following explains how to insert the document into the Carrier Sheet.
You can use the Carrier Sheet in two different modes according to the type of documents.
Create facing pages in one
image(page 53)
Create front and back images
separately (page 58)
ATTENTION
• To use the Carrier Sheet, select [Automatic Detection] in the Paper size drop-
down list on the [Paper size] tab of the ScanSnap Manager -Scan and Save
Settings" dialog box. When you scan the document in "Create facing pages in
one image" mode, set the Scanning side to "Duplex Scan" on the [Scanning]
tab of the ScanSnap Manager -Scan and Save Settings" dialog box. If you set
the Scanning side to "Simplex Scan," the produced image is the same as the
one produced in "Create front and back images separately" and "Simplex
Scan" mode.
For details on how to change the "Carrier Sheet" Settings, refer to section
"4.5 Changing Carrier Sheet Settings" (page 106).
• When the Carrier Sheet is used for scanning, continuous scanning is not
possible. Scan one piece or one page at one time.
Use this mode for scanning a document larger than
A4 size such as A3 and B4 sizes.
Fold the document in half, scan it in duplex scanning
mode, and then merge both front and back side
images to make a double-page spread image.
Use this mode for scanning a photograph when you
do not want to get scratches on the photograph, or
for scanning an irregular-shaped document such as
the clipping of articles, which is difficult to scan as
is. The scanned image is output in specified size.

ATTENTION
• There may be an interstice between the front and back side images, or a line
may appear on the output image.
When a sheet of thick paper is scanned, images on the both right and left side
may be skewed to a trapezoidal shape.
The degree of skewing varies depending on the condition of the document
(how it is folded or loaded).
Troubleshoot the problem as follows, and the situation may be improved.
- Is the document neatly folded? If not, fold it neatly.
- Is the edge of the document aligned with the edge of the Carrier Sheet?
If not, align the document with the Carrier Sheet.
- Try to scan the document with the front side of the Carrier Sheet facing
the paper chute or vice verse.
• When "Automatic Detection" is selected from the "Output image size" drop-
down list in the "Carrier Sheet Settings" window, the size of the produced
image may be smaller than the original.
(The image is output in A3, B4, or 11" x 17"size, whichever the smallest, so
that all elements on the image are included.)
Example: When you scan the A4 size image printed at the center of an A3 size
paper
A B4 size image is output.
To output an image in the original size, specify the document size in the
[Output image size] drop-down list.

computer.
Characters inappropriate for file names (/;+,*”<>|), if used, will be replaced with
"-" (hyphen).
• "Date and time (yyyyMMddHHmmss)"
The date and time are used for file names.
Example:
• "Custom File Name"
A file name is the combination of a text string typed in the "File Name" field and a
number of digits specified in the "Counter" drop-down list.
(An example name in each format is displayed at the bottom of the dialog box
when you select the format.)
A file saved at 19:00:50 on December 27th, 2003, in PDF format will be

About "Counter"
• When no file with a name specified in the "File Name" field exists in the save
folder (specified on the [Save] tab), a suffix number combined will be "1" ("001"
if 3 is selected in the "Counter" drop-down list). The number increases in
increments of 1 every time a new file is saved.
• When other files with a name specified in the "File Name" field exist in the
save folder, a number combined will be the smallest available number.
Example: When files, Scan01.pdf, Scan03.pdf, and Scan04.pdf, exist in the
same folder, the file you save next will be Scan02.pdf, and then Scan05.pdf,
Scan06.pdf, Scan07.pdf...as long as you use the same "File Name."
• When the specified number of digits is exceeded (for example, when saving
the 100th file with two digits specified), the number of digits increases by one.
Upon clicking the [OK] button, specified settings take effect.
(An example file name in the format you select is displayed under the [Filename
format] button.)
■ Rename file after scanning

Scan001.jpg, Scan002.jpg, Scan003.jpg...
*The example names above are of files named using "Scan" as the file name.
*The number of digits is a number selected in the "File name format" dialog
box.

Select this mode when you wish to scan documents at higher quality.
Select this mode when you wish to scan documents at the highest quality
The resolution of each mode is as follows:
• Normal: equivalent to 150 dpi (color)/300 dpi (black-and-white)
• Fine: equivalent to 200 dpi (color)/400 dpi (black-and-white)
• Best: equivalent to 300 dpi (color)/600 dpi (black-and-white)
• Excellent: equivalent to 600 dpi(color)/1200 dpi (black-and-white)
Generally, the higher quality you specify, the longer it takes to scan documents
and the larger the file size becomes.

■ Color mode:
You can specify whether to scan documents in color or black-and-white.
Select one of the following modes:
• Auto Color Detection
The ScanSnap automatically recognizes color pages and black-and-white pages,
and it switches between color and B&W modes automatically.
• Color
The ScanSnap scans the document in color mode.
This setting suits when color pages are scanned.
• B&W
The ScanSnap scans the document in black-and-white mode.
This setting suits when black-and-white pages, mostly containing text, is scanned.
The file sizes are smaller than those scanned in color mode.
• Color high compression
The ScanSnap saves color document images at a high compression rate.
4.2 Changing Scanning Settings
HINT
• Normally, set this setting to "Auto Color Detection," and you do not have to
change the color mode each time you scan a document.
* Note that the following types of documents may be recognized as black-and-
white documents.
- Faintly toned paper
- Partially colored documents
- Documents printed in two colors; many parts of documents are colored in
dark color such as dark gray similar to black
To scan such documents in color mode, select "Color" in the "Color mode"
drop-down list.
• In "Color high compression" mode, characters and backgrounds on the
document are compressed separately, and thus, the file size of the document
that mostly contains text characters becomes smaller while the quality of the
characters is kept high.
However, this mode is not appropriate for scanning photographs or figures
because these graphical materials are recognized as background and
compressed as such, causing degradation in images.
If this setting is specified, the contrast of the image may become higher.
• Depending on the types of documents, file size may increase if you use color
high compression mode than if you do not. The file size of the following types
of documents may become larger.
- Documents that contain many pictures and/or graphics but fewer
characters written in black
- Documents of complex layout (e.g. multiple columns)
- Documents with patterned background
