All you need to do to quickly digitize paper documents is place them in the S300M's hopper and press the "SCAN" button. The S300M automatically recognizes document sizes and shows images as they are meant to be seen without forcing you to worry about de-skewing, correcting image orientation or removing blank pages.

At half the size of other ScanSnap scanners, the S300M is designed to be the smallest ADF scanner. The S300M is compact enough to carry around and you will never have to worry about finding a spot to place it.
* This statement was true for A4 ADF scanners as of October 2007
Double Sided Multi-Sheet Feeding. The ScanSnap S300M holds up to 10 sheets of paper in the automatic document feeder and scans up to 8 pages (16 images) per minute.
Just hook the S300M up to a personal computer USB connector** to easily use it when an AC power source is not available.
** USB2.0/USB1.1
Connector type: USB Mini-B
When using the USB bus power cable, the computer must have two USB ports: one for power feeding, the other for USB cable connection.
The S300M comes bundled with Cardiris™, the highly regarded Mac environment supporting business card OCR software. As a result, anyone can take advantage of the S300M / Cardiris™ combination to easily digitize, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Russian business card information.
