Introduction

Thank you for purchasing our Color Image Scanner, ScanSnap S300M (hereinafter referred to as "the ScanSnap").

The ScanSnap S300M is a color image scanner capable of double-sided scanning in both monochrome and color. It is complete Office Solution, which helps you improve productivity and solve scanning problems in your office.

The features of the ScanSnap product are as follows:

•You can turn images on paper into PDF files by just pressing the [SCAN] button!

You can turn documents cluttering up your desk into PDF files, which are easy to print and attach to e-mail messages; you can view and archive them on your right at your fingertips.

In addition, the ScanSnap can automatically recognize the type of documents, color or black-and-white, so that the size of the scanned image file can be reduced when documents containing both color and black-and-white pages are scanned. (Moreover, the ScanSnap can automatically remove blank pages from the document to further reduce the size of the file.)

•You can scan documents with speed and efficiency!

Double-sided color documents of A4 or letter size paper can be scanned at a speed of:

•Power-cable-connected: Approx. 8 sheets/minute

•USB-bus-power-cable-connected: Approx. 4 sheets/minute

(when used with a computer with Intel® Core™ Duo 1.83 GHz and with Scan mode set to Normal, Color mode Auto, and Compression rate 3, and others set to defaults)

•You can eliminate the nuisance of a bulky device!

Smaller than a sheet of A4 or letter paper in size, the ScanSnap can fit unobtrusively on your desktop all the time.

•Compact, light-weight, portable body design!

Its compact, light-weight design makes it possible to hand-carry the ScanSnap together with your laptop computer. There is no need to find an electrical outlet for the ScanSnap if you use the supplied USB bus power cable to connect to your computer.

•You can convert business cards to Address Book data with ease!

With Cardiris (supplied with the ScanSnap), business cards can be easily recognized and converted to Address Book data by using the OCR function.

•The Quick Menu lets even beginners operate the ScanSnap with automatic ease!

When the [SCAN] button is pressed, the Quick Menu is displayed. What you should do is to select the action you want to perform on the Quick Menu. The Quick Menu is simple enough for first-time use by completely neophytes. (Quick Menu Mode)
