Introduction

Thank you for purchasing our Color Image Scanner, ScanSnap S510M (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 for managing and archiving 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 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 Image quality Normal, Color mode Auto Color Detection, and Compression rate 3).(*)

(*)- 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] and/or [Allow automatic image rotation] is enabled, scanning speed may become slower.

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

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

When the [SCAN] button is pressed, the ScanSnap Quick Menu is displayed. What you should do is to select the action you want to perform on the ScanSnap 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.

Note: The ScanSnap does not conform to TWAIN and ISIS standards.
