Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Color Image Scanner ScanSnap S500M.

ScanSnap S500M is a feature-rich, office-ready color image scanner. It is designed to help you

improve productivity and solve problems in scanning.

The ScanSnap scanner has the following features:

■Converting paper documents into PDFs by pressing a single button!

You can turn the documents cluttering up your desk into PDFs, and manage and

archive them on your computer.

ScanSnap S500M can automatically detect whether the documents are color or black-

and-white, so that the size of scanned image files can be made smaller when scanning

color and black-and-white documents mixed in a batch. In addition, the scanner can

automatically remove blank pages in documents to further reduce the size of files.

■Effortless scanning!

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 Scan mode Normal,

Color mode Auto, and Compression rate 3).(*1)

■Small desktop footprint!

Having a footprint smaller than a sheet of A4 or Letter size paper, the ScanSnap scan-

ner can be left on your desk all the time.

(*1) - Depending on the document types, the scanning speed may slow down when scanning

is performed in "B&W" (Black-and-White) mode (because the data of scanned color

documents is converted into monochrome data).

For example, when scanning color brochures in "B&W" mode in Normal (Fastest)

quality at a compression rate of 3, its scanning speed is about 12 sheets/minute.

- When "Allow automatic blank page removal" or "Correct skewed character strings

automatically" is enabled, scanning speed may slow down.

(*2) - ScanSnap S500M does not support the TWAIN and ISIS standards.

This document describes how to use ScanSnap S500M and the basic operations. Be sure to read

this manual thoroughly before using ScanSnap S500M.

In this document, ScanSnap S500M is hereinafter referred to as ScanSnap.
