Features of the ScanSnap
The ScanSnap is a scanner that is capable of double-sided scanning in both monochrome
and color.
The ScanSnap contains the following features:
• You can turn documents into data by just pressing the [Scan] button!
You can turn documents cluttering up your desk into PDF or JPEG files so that you can
view, edit, manage, and archive them on your computer in a convenient manner.
Digitized documents are easy to print and attach to e-mail messages.
In addition, the ScanSnap can automatically recognize the type of documents, color,
gray or black-and-white, so that you do not have to set the color mode for each docu-
ment to be scanned.
• You can scan documents with speed and efficiency!
(Automatic Resolution Function and Intelligent Auto Color Detection)
Double-sided color documents of A4 or letter size paper can be scanned at a speed of
about 20 sheets per minute. (When [Image quality] is set to [Auto] (*1), [Color mode] to
[Auto Color Detection], [Compression rate] to [3], and other settings to defaults) (*2)
*1 : The documents are scanned at 300 dpi. If the paper size is 148 mm or smaller, image files are
output at 300 dpi. Otherwise, image files are output at 200 dpi. You can scan image data with
a high resolution without changing settings, when interacting with text recognition software (for
example, for business cards).
*2 : - Depending on the document, scanning speed may become slower in [B&W] (Black&White)
mode.
Example: Scanning color brochures in [B&W] mode (converting a color image to black-and-
white)
- Scanning speed may become slower, when [Correct skewed character strings
automatically.] and/or [Convert to Searchable PDF] is enabled.
• You can scan different sized documents together!
(Mixed Size Scanning + Carrier Sheet Scanning)
Paper sizes are automatically recognized at scan time, allowing documents containing a
mixture of different paper sizes to be scanned in one go.
Documents containing photographs, irregular-shaped and delicate papers, and paper
sizes larger than the normal A4/Letter size may also be scanned using the Carrier
Sheet provided. Multiple Carrier Sheets can be scanned together, either with or without
regular paper sheets.
• The small size saves desktop space!
Smaller than a sheet of A4 or letter size paper, the ScanSnap never requires much
desktop space.
