double-sided documents. It is a complete Office Solution
designed to improve your productivity and to solve
scanning problems in your office. ScanSnap product has
the following features.
● Just pressing the Scanner button allows you to
turn images on paper into PDFs!
You can turn the documents that clutter up your
desktop into PDFs, and manage and archive them on

software packaged with this scanner to display and
these PDF documents.
