Features of the ScanSnap

The main features of the ScanSnap are as follows:

zTurn documents into digital data by just pressing the [Scan] button

By converting paper documents cluttering up your desk into PDF or JPEG files, you can

conveniently view, edit, manage and archive the documents in your computer.

zSpeedy scanning

Double-sided color documents of A4 or Letter size can be scanned at a speed of

approx. 20 sheets per minute under the following conditions:

z System requirements

Intel

Core™ 2 Duo 2.2 GHz or higher

Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP operating system

Features of the ScanSnap

Intel

Core™ 2 Duo 2.4 GHz or higher

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.

zThe Quick Menu makes the operation easy even for beginners

The Quick Menu will allow you to start using the ScanSnap right away even if it is your

first time. Simply press the [Scan] button on the scanner to scan your document, and

then the Quick Menu will appear where you can select the action you want to perform.

zAutomatically recognize color and black & white documents (Auto color

detection)

The ScanSnap determines the color mode of each document, saves color documents in

color, black & white documents in black & white, and black & white documents with

photos or illustrations in grayscale. This function will optimize your PDF file size.

Features of the ScanSnap

zScan different size documents together (Automatic page size detection,

Carrier Sheet mixed batch scanning)

Paper size is automatically recognized so that you do not need to change the paper size

setting. The bundled Carrier Sheet allows you to scan documents larger than A4/Letter

size as well as photographs and clippings. Multiple Carrier Sheets can be scanned at

once and together with regular documents in the same batch.

zAutomatically set the resolution by the paper size (Automatic resolution

function)

Documents are scanned at 300 dpi at first, then the image is saved at 300 dpi if the

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

• Setting passwords for PDF files

zConvert paper documents into Word/Excel/PowerPoint files

Use the bundled "ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap" to directly convert the scanned

image into a Word/Excel/PowerPoint file.

In Mac OS, only conversion to Word and Excel file is supported.

Features of the ScanSnap

zOrganize and manage scanned images by linking with ScanSnap

Organizer

z Setting a keyword (Intelligent Indexing)

- Recognize a character string on a page (OCR) and set as a keyword (Zone OCR)

- Set any character string as a keyword

- Set a marked character string as a keyword (Marker Index)

- Drag and drop a keyword from the keyword list (Keyword Addition by Drag&Drop) The keywords can be viewed in thumbnails. (Keyword Overlay)

z Distributing files by keyword (Automatic Keyword Sort)

Files can also be sorted into folders according to the keyword set for files as a sorting condition.

z Search a variety of files (Search Engine Selection)

Files can be found quickly searched by file name, keyword, text or date.

z Cropping marked sections (Intelligent Cropping)

Selections on a page that are marked with a highlight pen can be cut and pasted elsewhere to create scrapbooks.

zEasy filing of business cards

Text recognition can be performed on business cards which then can be easily

converted into digital data with the bundled business card application. With CardMinder,

you can create a database which facilitates data search of business cards converted

into digital data.

The bundled business card application is as follows:

CardMinder

Cardiris
