Introduction

Thank you for purchasing Color Image Scanner ScanSnap S510 (hereinafter referred to as the "ScanSnap").

The ScanSnap is a scanner that is capable of double-sided scanning in both monochrome and color. The ScanSnap has the following advantages:

■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 of A4 or letter size paper can be scanned at a speed of about 18 sheets/minute (when Scan mode is set to Normal, Color mode is set to Auto, and Compression rate is set to 3). (*1)

(*1) -Depending on the document, scanning speed may become slower in "B&W (Black&White)" mode (due to process for converting data scanned in color to monochrome data).

Example: Scanning color brochures in "B&W" mode

-When "Correct skewed character strings automatically," "Allow automatic image rotation," and/or automatic text recognition is enabled, scanning speed may become slower.

■You can eliminate the nuisance of a bulky device!

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

■You can file business cards with ease!

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