Features of the ScanSnap
17
zAutomatically recognize color and black & white documents (Auto color
detection)
The ScanSnap determines the color mode of each document, saves color documents in
color, black & white documents in black & white, and black & white documents with
photos or illustrations in grayscale. This function will optimize your PDF file size.
zScan documents without specifying paper size (Automatic page size
detection)
Paper size is automatically recognized so that you do not need to change the paper size
setting. The Carrier Sheet (sold separately) allows you to scan documents larger than
A4/Letter size including photos and clippings.
zScan various types of documents
The ScanSnap allows you to scan not only paper documents such as standard office
paper, postcards, business cards, photographs or clippings but also plastic cards
(including embossed ones) such as driver’s licences or ID cards.
zAutomatically set the resolution by the paper size (Automatic resolution
function)
Documents are scanned at 300 dpi at first, then the image is saved at 300 dpi if the
document length is 148 mm (5.83 in.) or less, and converted to 200 dpi for longer
documents. When linked with a text recognition application (e.g. for scanning business
cards), you can save high resolution image data without having to change the scan
settings.
zCreate searchable PDF files
You can create searchable PDF files by performing automatic text recognition for PDF
files after scanning.
You can also perform text recognition on character strings marked by a highlight pen in
black & white documents, and add them as keywords for the PDF file.
zE-mail or print a scanned image directly from scanning
You can attach the scanned image to an e-mail without needing any additional
application or print it out instead of using a copy machine.
zCompatible with both Windows and Mac OS
You can use the ScanSnap in a manner that best suits your office environment in either
Windows or Mac OS (*).
* : The following functions are not available for Mac OS:
• Color high compression
• Setting passwords for PDF files
zConvert paper documents into Word/Excel/PowerPoint files
Use the bundled "ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap" to directly convert the scanned
image into a Word/Excel/PowerPoint file.
In Mac OS, only conversion to Word and Excel files is supported.
