Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Color Image Scanner ScanSnap S500M.

ScanSnap S500M (hereinafter called the “ScanSnap” or “the ScanSnap scanner”) is a feature-rich, office-ready color image scanner. It is designed to help you improve productivity and solve problems in scanning.

ScanSnap scanners have the following features:●Just pressing the Scan button allows you to turn images on paper into PDFs!You can turn the documents cluttering up your desk

into PDFs, manage and archive them on your computer. You can use the Adobe® Acrobat® software packaged with this scanner to display and edit these PDF documents, which are convenient for printing and attaching to the e-mail.

ScanSnap scanners can automatically detect whether documents are color or black-and-white, so that the size of scanned image files can be made smaller when scanning color and black-and-white documents mixed in a batch. In addition, the scanner can automatically remove blank pages in documents to reduce the size of files even more.

●Effortless scanning!

Double-sided color documents in A4 or letter size can be scanned at a speed of about 18 sheets/minute (when used with a computer with a PowerPC® G5 processor of 1.6GHz or higher running Mac OS X v10.2.8 or later and with Scan mode Normal, Color mode Auto, and Compression rate 3).

●Small desktop footprint!

Its footprint is smaller than a sheet of A4 or letter size paper; ScanSnap scanners can be left on your desk all the time.
