Features of the ScanSnap
®
Intel

Mac OS X v10.7, Mac OS X v10.6, Mac OS X v10.5 or Mac OS X v10.4
z Scan setting (*)
When [Image quality] is set to [Automatic resolution], [Color mode] to [Auto color detection], [Compression rate] to [3], and other settings are in default
* : - Scanning speed may slow down in [B&W] (black & white) mode depending on the document.
Example: Scanning color brochures in [B&W] mode (converting a color image to black & white)
- Scanning speed may slow down when [Correct skewed character strings automatically] and/ or [Allow automatic image rotation] is enabled.
zCompact, lightweight and portable
Compact enough to place on your desktop next to your computer, the ScanSnap can be
powered by a single USB cable. This allows you to carry it anywhere with your laptop
and have the flexibility to use it in or outside the office.
zThe Quick Menu makes the operation easy even for beginners

photos or illustrations in grayscale. This function will optimize your PDF file size.
zScan documents without specifying paper size (Automatic page size

document length is 148 mm (5.83 in.) or less, and converted to 200 dpi for longer
documents. When linked with a text recognition application (e.g. for scanning business
cards), you can save high resolution image data without having to change the scan
settings.
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 on character strings marked by a highlight pen in
black & white documents, and add them as keywords for the PDF file.
zE-mail or print a scanned image directly from scanning
You can attach the scanned image to an e-mail without needing any additional
application or print it out instead of using a copy machine.
zCompatible with both Windows and Mac OS
You can use the ScanSnap in a manner that best suits your office environment in either
Windows or Mac OS (*).
* : The following functions are not available for Mac OS:
• Color high compression
• Setting passwords for PDF files

Turning the ScanSnap ON/OFF

Turning the ScanSnap ON/OFF
This section explains how to turn the ScanSnap ON/OFF. The ScanSnap is turned ON/OFF in conjunction with the computer. Therefore, you do not have to worry about turning the power ON/OFF as long as the ScanSnap is connected to a computer.
zTurning the ScanSnap on
Open the feed guide when the computer is turned on.
The [Scan/Stop] button flashes blue to indicate that the ScanSnap is turned on, and
lights in blue when the ScanSnap is ready to scan.
With some computers, the initialization of the ScanSnap may be performed several times when the computer is started up.
z Turning the ScanSnap off
Turn off the computer or close the feed guide.
The [Scan/Stop] button switches off when the ScanSnap is turned off.
With some computers, it may take two to three minutes until the light of the [Scan/Stop] button goes out after the computer is turned off.
zScanSnap in sleep mode
When the ScanSnap has not been in operation for one minute while the power is on, it
enters sleep (power saving) mode.
The ScanSnap’s internal light switches off in sleep mode.

*1: For details about how to eject documents, refer to "Output Guide" (page 22). *2: Scanning starts when you hold down the [Scan/Stop] button on the ScanSnap for 3 seconds or
longer.
With the output guide open With the output guide closed
Standard office paper Standard office paper, postcards, business cards

Documents for Scanning
z When you scan documents written in pencil, there may be black traces left on them. It is
recommended that you scan such documents by using the Carrier Sheet. Clean the rollers as often as possible when you scan such documents directly without using a Carrier Sheet because dirt accumulating on the rollers may cause feeding errors. For details about how to clean the inside of the ScanSnap, refer to "Cleaning the Inside of
the ScanSnap" (page 423).
z The following types of documents must not be scanned:
- Paper-clipped or stapled documents (remove the paper clips and staples for scanning)
- Documents on which the ink is still wet (wait until the ink dries completely to scan these
documents)
- Documents larger than 216 × 863 (mm) / 8.5 × 34 (in.) (width x length)
- Documents other than paper such as fabric, metal foil and OHP film
z Be aware that picture side of postcards may get damaged when you scan picture postcards. z Cards that are bent may not be fed properly. z If the surface of the card is dirty with grease marks (e.g. fingerprints) and such, perform
scanning after wiping the dirt off.
z Insert the plastic card straight into the feeding section of the ScanSnap. Do not tilt the plastic
card when you insert it because the plastic card may not be fed properly.
z When you scan plastic cards with strong luster, some parts of the image may appear lighter
or darker than the original. e.g. gold colored credit card
z Insert embossed cards in landscape orientation to achieve better scanning results. z If the background color of the card and the color of the embossed characters are similar (e.g.
no gold or silver embossing), it may be difficult for the ScanSnap to recognize embossed characters. In that case, click the [Option] button in the [Scanning] tab of the ScanSnap setup dialog box, and select the [Setting for text only document] check box for a possible resolution.
z Scanning the following types of documents without using the Carrier Sheet can result in
documents being damaged or scanned incorrectly. It is recommended that you use the Carrier Sheet to scan them.
- Documents smaller than 25.4 × 25.4 (mm) / 1 × 1 (in.) (width × length)
- Documents whose paper weight is less than 52.3 g/m² (17 lb)
- Documents of non-uniform thickness (e.g. envelopes and paper sheets with attached
materials)
- Wrinkled or curled documents
- Folded or torn documents
- Tracing paper
- Coated paper
- Photographs (photographic paper)
- Perforated or punched documents
- Odd shaped documents (not square or rectangular)
- Carbon paper or thermal paper
- Documents with memo papers or sticky notes attached
z Since carbonless paper may contain chemicals that can harm the rollers, take note of the
following when scanning carbonless paper:
- It is recommended that you use the Carrier Sheet to scan such documents.
- Make sure to clean the rollers regularly to maintain the scanner performance when
scanning carbonless paper directly without using the Carrier Sheet. Depending on the type of carbonless paper, the life span of the scanner may be shortened compared to scanning standard office paper.

Conditions for Using the Carrier Sheet

The Carrier Sheet (sold separately) is a sheet designed to transport documents through the ScanSnap. You can scan documents that are larger than A4/Letter size, photographs and clippings. Conditions for documents that can be scanned using the optional Carrier Sheet are as follows:
CAUTION
z Do not use a damaged Carrier Sheet because it may damage or cause the scanner to
malfunction.
z Be careful not to cut your finger on the edge of the Carrier Sheet.

z Do not stain, or cut the end with a black & white pattern because the Carrier Sheet will not be
recognized properly.
z Do not place the Carrier Sheet upside down. Otherwise, a paper jam may occur and damage
the Carrier Sheet and the document inside.
z Do not leave your document inside the Carrier Sheet for a long time. Otherwise, the ink on
the document may be transferred onto the Carrier Sheet.
z To avoid deformation, do not use or leave the Carrier Sheet in high temperature places such
as under direct sunlight or near a heating apparatus for a long time.
z Do not fold or pull the Carrier Sheet. z To avoid deformation, store the Carrier Sheet on a flat surface without any weight on it. z Paper jams may occur when several small size documents such as photographs and
postcards are placed inside the Carrier Sheet to be scanned at once. It is recommended that you scan such documents one at a time.
