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.
zSmall size saves desktop space

space.

Paper size is automatically recognized so that you do not need to change the paper size
setting.
zAutomatically set the resolution by the paper size (Automatic resolution
function)

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

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

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 ADF paper chute (cover) when the computer is turned on.
The [Scan] 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.
zTurning the ScanSnap off
Turn off the computer or close the ADF paper chute (cover).
The [Scan] button switches off when the ScanSnap is turned off.
z Close the ADF paper chute (cover) after putting the extension back. z With some computers, it may take two to three minutes until the light of the [Scan]
button goes out after the computer is turned off.
zScanSnap in sleep mode
When the ScanSnap has not been in operation for 1 minute while the power is on, it
enters sleep (power saving) mode.
The ScanSnap’s internal light switches off in sleep mode.

* : Scanning starts when you hold down the [Scan] button on the ScanSnap for 3 seconds or
longer.
z When you scan documents written in pencil, there may be black traces left on them. Also, dirt
accumulating on the rollers may cause feeding errors. Clean the rollers as often as possible when you scan such documents. For details about how to clean the inside of the ScanSnap, refer to "Cleaning the Inside of the
ScanSnap" (page 386).
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 × length)
- Documents other than paper such as fabric, metal foil, OHP film and plastic cards
- Documents with memo photographs or sticky notes attached
z Loading the following types of documents directly in the scanner can result in documents
being damaged or scanned incorrectly.
- Documents smaller than 50.8 × 50.8 (mm) / 2 × 2 (in.) (width × length)
- Documents whose paper weight is less than 64 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 pad assy and the pick
roller, take note of the following when scanning carbonless paper: Make sure to clean the ScanSnap regularly to maintain the scanner performance. Depending on the type of carbonless paper, the life span of the scanner may be shortened compared to scanning standard office paper.

Standard office paper, postcards, business cards
