•We recommend applying the latest updates to the Mac OS X for better reliability.

•The ScanSnap may not function if it is connected to a USB port for the keyboard or the monitor.

•If you need to use a commercially available USB hub, use a powered one that comes with an AC adapter.

•If you want to connect the ScanSnap via USB 2.0, the USB port and Hub must be USB 2.0-compliant. The scanning speed may slow down when the ScanSnap is connected using USB 1.1. Use the USB 2.0 port, if your computer has one.

•If the CPU or the memory does not meet the requirements, the scanning speed will slow down.
