The NEW ScanSnap desktop scanner from FUJITSU
New ScanSnap Offers Even Faster and Easier Paper-to-Digital Conversion of Documents at the Touch of a Button
ScanSnap Features:
SPEEDY
-
Scans A4 documents at an incredible 15 pages per minute!
Being able to digitize one A4 page every four seconds (normal mode) and continuously scan up to fifty pages at a time enables ScanSnap to process huge volumes of paper in no time flat. Furthermore, ScanSnap enables users to intermittently scan additional pages into a file after the first batch has been completed.
COMPACT
-
Use ScanSnap virtually anywhere!
ScanSnap's footprint is only one third the size of a flatbed scanner and it takes up less space than a notebook computer.
EASY
-
Creates PDF files with just one touch!
Just touch the "Scan" button and ScanSnap begins scanning and creating PDF files. Created PDF files are automatically saved in the user's computer.
-
Change scanning settings with just one click!
"ScanSnap Manager" enables users to save up to nine frequently used settings, such as application selections, saving locations and scanning modes. Thus, smoothing out scanning operations by simplifying how scanner settings are changed.
-
Easily arrange and view PDF files with a mouse
The bundled "ScanSnap Organizer" displays scanned PDF files as thumbnails. ScanSnap users can view any image in a particular file, without opening it up, just by clicking the directional arrows at the thumbnail. Furthermore, PDF files can be easily rearranged just by "drag and drop" selected images with a mouse.
USEFUL
-
Scans anything from business cards to A3 sized documents
Not only can ScanSnap digitize A4, B5, A5, B6, A6 and business card sized documents, but the included "Carrier Sheet" enables it to scan A3 and B4 sized documents as well. ScanSnap is also capable of digitizing irregular sized (custom sized) documents.
-
Digitizes photographs and cut-outs
Use of the included "Carrier Sheet" enables users to scan treasured photographs and documents that they do not wish harmed as well as irregularly shaped documents. ScanSnap is also able to adjust its cropping to fit the size of the scanned document.
The Carrier Sheet is a sheet for loading document specifically designed for ScanSnap and allows you to scan documents that cannot be scanned as it is; a document larger than A4 up to A3, B4 or 11 x 17 (single side) can be scanned by folding it in two, inserting it into the Carrier Sheet and scanning in duplex mode.
Also, using the Carrier Sheet, you can scan documents that can be easily scratched such as photographs or irregular-shaped documents that are difficult to load on the scanner such as clippings of information (magazine, newspaper, etc.).
-
Automatically eliminates blank pages
Since ScanSnap automatically eliminates blank pages, each scanning job progresses smoothly, even when scanning combinations of one-sided and two-sided documents.
-
ScanSnap improves productivity by enabling users to easily manage business card data and create customer contact lists
Through using its bundled "CardMinder" software, ScanSnap can capture information from images it has created from multiple business cards and feed this data into programs such as Microsoft® Excel® or Outlook Express.
-
Creates secure and searchable PDF files
The bundled Adobe® Acrobat® 7.0 Standard enables ScanSnap to create tamper proof PDF files that support digital signature verification. Furthermore, ScanSnap created PDF files are fully searchable.
-
Protects the contents of scanned files
"ScanSnap Manager" enables users to attach passwords to ScanSnap created PDF files. Thus, ensuring that only people who know the assigned password can open the PDF file or even see its thumbnail image.
-
Auto-de-skew and auto-image rotation
ScanSnap automatically corrects any misaligned text (plus or minus 5ð), permitting aligned scans to be made from poor quality documents. Also, the auto-image rotation application displays every scanned page in its proper orientation.
OTHERS
-
Combining advanced design with energy efficiency
The ADF cover can be closed when ScanSnap is not in use, keeping the design clean and compact. Also, closing the cover shuts the power off, improving energy efficiency.
-
sRGB faithfully reproduces colors as they appear in the original.
ScanSnap employs sRGB technology to reproduce a document's original colors to the same standards produced by high-end graphic scanners. Using "Excellent" mode (color 600dpi) reproduces a document's original colors at even higher definitions.

The new ScanSnap allows business professionals and consumers to quickly convert paper documents of variable sizes up to A4 into Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files that are easily shared, organised and protected.

At the touch of a button, ScanSnap will convert paper documents into digital images, scanning both sides of a page at the high speed of 15 documents a minute. ScanSnap automatically recognises whether documents are black and white or colour, and deletes unwanted blank pages. Adobe PDF files are generated as documents pass through ScanSnap's enhanced 50-page-feeder, which can cope with thick card to thin paper with ease. Users can also whip those piles of business cards into their PC as well, using the included CardMinder software.
Retailing at £309 the new ergonomically designed black unit is extremely small (not much bigger than a standard telephone book) and sits comfortably alongside a PC or laptop on a desk for ease of use. Quality is not sacrificed for size or speed and users also benefit from the ability to scan at a range of high resolutions including 150, 200, 300 and 600dpi - depending on their requirements.
