Before you buy -QA3-

Q3. Can I use "ScanSnap" with software other than that which it comes bundled with?

A3. Since scanned images can be saved as PDF or JPEG files, ScanSnap created images can be used with any application software which supports either file type.

Due to the fact that there are not any plans to manufacture a TWAIN or ISIS compatible ScanSnap, anyone who is interested in a scanner that supports either of these drivers may wish to consider the fi-5110C. The fi-5110C is quite similar to ScanSnap and supports both TWAIN and ISIS.
