ScanSnap S500M for Macintosh Getting Started | 1
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Color Image Scanner ScanSnap
S500M.
ScanSnap S500M (hereinafter called the “ScanSnap” or
“the ScanSnap scanner”) is a feature-rich, office-ready
color image scanner. It is designed to help you improve
productivity and solve problems in scanning.
ScanSnap scanners have the following features:
● Just pressing the Scan button allows you to
turn images on paper into PDFs!
You can turn the documents cluttering up your desk
into PDFs, manage and archive them on your
computer. You can use the Adobe
® Acrobat ®
software packaged with this scanner to display and
edit these PDF documents, which are convenient for
printing and attaching to the e-mail.
ScanSnap scanners can automatically detect
whether 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 reduce the size of files even more.
● 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).
● Small desktop footprint!
Its footprint is smaller than a sheet of A4 or letter
size paper; ScanSnap scanners can be left on your
desk all the time.
(Note: ScanSnap S500M Scanner does NOT
comply with TWAIN or ISIS standards.)
