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

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.
17
Page 18
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.

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)

Automatic Linkage with Applications

When one of the applications which can automatically link with ScanSnap Manager is running and you perform scanning, ScanSnap Manager will automatically link with the corresponding application regardless of the current scan settings or whether you are using the Quick Menu. Applications that can automatically link with ScanSnap Manager are as follows:
z ScanSnap Organizer
Scanned image is displayed in ScanSnap Organizer.
z CardMinder
Scanned image is displayed in CardMinder.
z Rack2-Filer trial version (bundled with the ScanSnap) or Rack2-Filer (V5.0 or later
recommended/bundled model or sold separately) Scanned image is saved in a binder in Rack2-Filer.
z Scan to Mobile (*)
Scanned image is sent to a mobile device.
* : Automatic linkage is available only when the application is active.
There are two modes for automatic linkage.
zLink when one of the above applications is active (recommended)
When ScanSnap Organizer, CardMinder or Rack2-Filer becomes active (with the
application’s dialog box brought to front and selected on taskbar), performing a scan by
pressing the [Scan] button automatically starts the linkage between ScanSnap Manager
and the active application.
The example above shows ScanSnap Manager automatically linking with ScanSnap
Organizer when ScanSnap Organizer’s main window is in front (active).

ScanSnap Manager
zAlways link when one of the above applications is running
When ScanSnap Organizer, CardMinder, or Rack2-Filer is started, the application
specified for [Application] in the [Application] tab in the ScanSnap dialog box
automatically switches to the running application. The application will automatically link
with ScanSnap Manager even when the application window is minimized or not
displayed in the front. The linkage between the application and ScanSnap Manager
automatically ends once you exit the application.
When more than one application is running at the same time, priority will be given in the
following order:
- CardMinder
- ScanSnap Organizer
- Rack2-Filer trial version (bundled with the ScanSnap) or Rack2-Filer (V5.0 or later recommended/bundled model or sold separately)
When the Quick Menu is disabled, the name of the interacting application on the Left-
Click Menu is followed by "is interacting".
z When ScanSnap Manager automatically links with CardMinder, business cards are
scanned with the current settings. If there are some settings that are not supported by CardMinder, defaults settings are used. For details about CardMinder default settings, refer to the ScanSnap Manager Help.
z ScanSnap Manager links with CardMinder only when the document is of business
card size. When documents in other sizes are scanned, the following error message appears.
