Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the ScanSnap S510 Color Image Scanner product.

ScanSnap S510 is a color image scanner capable of scanning double-sided documents. It is a 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 and made PDF files searchable by just pressing the [SCAN] button!

You can turn documents cluttering up your desk into

PDF files to manage and archive them on your computer. By using Adobe® Acrobat®, which comes with the ScanSnap, you can view, edit, and search PDF files right at your fingertips.

PDF files are easy to print and share scanned images by e-mail.

In addition to the advantages above, 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 A4 or letter in size can

be scanned at a speed of about 18 sheets/minute (when used with a computer with Intel® Pentium® 4 1.8GHz or higher that runs Windows® 2000, Windows® XP or Windows Vista® and with Scan mode Normal, Color mode Auto, and Compression rate 3).

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.

You can file business cards with ease!

With CardMinderTM, which is supplied with the scanner, business cards can be easily filed and searched for using the OCR function.

The Quick menu is newly added for beginners to 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)

You can send off the scanner image by e-mail or output the scanned image to the printer immediately after scanning!

Without starting applications, you can attach the

scanned image to e-mail or make copies of the scanned image by outputting it to the printer.

You can convert paper documents into

Word/Excel/PowerPoint files!

With ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnapTM, you can convert the scanned document directly into the Word/Excel/PowerPoint file.
