Able to Scan an Incredible 18 Double-Sided Color Pages per Minute! (20% faster than the previous model!)
The ScanSnap™ S500M digitizes both sides of a document in a single pass, in color, and at an impressive speed of up
to 18 pages per minute (36 images per minute in duplex).
Compact angular design
With a tiny footprint that takes up less space than a letter sized piece of paper, users will never have to worry about where
to place an S500M on a packed desk. Space efficiency and document feeding performance is further enhanced with the addition
of a built-in stacker to the scanner’s white angular design.
Advanced features for the ultimate ease of use!
With a touch of a button the ScanSnap enhances the user experience with a host of automatic features, including:
- Auto paper size detection
The S500M’s auto-size detection function automatically recognizes the size of every page that it scans for the following paper sizes (A4, B5, A5, B6, A6, Business card, Legal and Letter). - Auto de-skew
The S500M eases scanning tasks by automatically straightening all images and showing them in their proper orientation. - Auto blank page deletion
The S500M saves storage space and editing time by automatically deleting blank pages.
Supports Adobe® Acrobat® 7.0 Standard Included
Adobe® Acrobat® 7.0 Standard is perfect for everything from PDF creation to application.
Intel Mac Compatible
The S500M supports both Power PC and Intel CPU.
