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
• Loading the document face-up

zConvert paper documents into Word/Excel/PowerPoint files

roller, 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.
