Thank you for purchasing the Color Image Scanner ScanSnap S500M.

ScanSnap S500M is a feature-rich, office-ready color image scanner. It is designed to help you improve productivity and solve problems in scanning.

The ScanSnap scanner has the following features:

■ Converting paper documents into PDFs by pressing a single button!

You can turn the documents cluttering up your desk into PDFs, and manage and archive them on your computer.

ScanSnap S500M can automatically detect whether the 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 further reduce the size of files.

■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).(*1)

■Small desktop footprint!

Having a footprint smaller than a sheet of A4 or Letter size paper, the ScanSnap scanner can be left on your desk all the time.

(*1) - Depending on the document types, the scanning speed may slow down when scanning is performed in "B&W" (Black-and-White) mode (because the data of scanned color documents is converted into monochrome data).

For example, when scanning color brochures in "B&W" mode in Normal (Fastest) quality at a compression rate of 3, its scanning speed is about 12 sheets/minute.

- When "Allow automatic blank page removal" or "Correct skewed character strings automatically" is enabled, scanning speed may slow down.

(*2) - ScanSnap S500M does not support the TWAIN and ISIS standards.

This document describes how to use ScanSnap S500M and the basic operations. Be sure to read this manual thoroughly before using ScanSnap S500M.

In this document, ScanSnap S500M is hereinafter referred to as ScanSnap.

Weight	52 g/m2 to 127 g/m2 (14 lb to 34 lb)
Size	Letter	(8.5 x 11 in (216 x 279.4 mm))
	Legal	(8.5 x 14 in (216 x 355.6 mm)))
	A4	(210 mm × 297 mm)
	A5	(148 mm × 210 mm)
	A6	(105 mm × 148 mm)
	B5(JIS)	(182 mm × 257 mm)
	B6(JIS)	(128 mm × 182 mm)
	Post card	(100 mm × 148 mm)
	Business card	(90 mm × 55 mm, 55 mm × 90 mm)
	Custom	Width: 50.8 to 216 mm (2 to 8.5 in)Length: 50.8 to 360 mm (2 to 14.17 in)

Do not scan the following documents:

• Documents with paper clips or staples
• Documents on which the ink is still wet
• Documents larger than Legal size (width: 8.5 in., length: 14 in.)
• Documents smaller than 2 (width) x 2 (length) in.
• Materials other than paper such as fabric, metal foil, or transparencies
• Documents thinner than 52g / m^2 (14 lb) and thicker than 127g / m^2 (34 lb)
• Carbon paper
• Photosensitive paper

The following documents may not be scanned successfully:

• Documents of uneven thickness (e.g. envelopes, etc.)
• Severely wrinkled or curled documents
• Folded or torn documents
• Tracing paper
• Coated paper
  • Photo (Photo printing paper)
  • Perforated or punched documents
• Documents that are not square or rectangular
• Documents of uneven width
• Carbonless paper

• To prevent the rollers from becoming dirty, avoid scanning documents written in pencil. If you scan such documents, clean the rollers as frequently as possible. For details, refer to "6.2 Cleaning the Scanner Exterior & Stacker" (page 89).
• Carbonless paper contains chemical substances that may damage the Pad ASSY or rollers (e.g. Pick roller). When scanning carbonless paper, pay attention to the following:

– Clean the Pad ASSY and rollers as frequently as possible.

- Scanning carbonless paper makes the scanner's service life shorter than scanning documents of common office paper.

- The surface of photos may be scratched when being scanned.

3.3 Loading Documents

This section describes how to load documents onto the scanner.

■How to load documents

1. Align the edges of the document.

How to align the edges of the document is as follows:

1) Align both edges of the document, and you can scan the document correctly.
2) Check the number of sheets in the stack.

As a guide, load up to the following number of sheets onto the feeder:

- With A4 or smaller size paper, the thickness of the document stack must be

0.2 in. (5 mm) or less (about 50 sheets of 20 lb or 80 g/m ^4 paper)

Scanning accuracy increases further if the document is loaded onto the feeder making a little tilt on the leading edge of the document as shown in the right figure.

Shifting slightly

BEEK

Scanning direction

Do not scan more than 50 sheets at one time. If the batch is thicker than this limit, the creation of a file may fail.

Before loading a batch of sheets onto the scanner, do the following so that each sheet of paper can be fed smoothly:

1) Separate the document into batches, each of which has a thickness of 5 mm or less.
2) Hold the both ends of a batch, and bend it as shown in the figure below.

0.2" (5mm)

3) Hold the batch firmly with both hands so that the both edges remain beveled, and then unbend the batch as shown in the figure below.

Illustration of two hands holding a smooth, curved object with layered lines (no text or symbols)

4) Repeat steps 1) to 3) a few times.

5) Turn the batch 90 degrees to hold the other two sides of it, and then perform steps 1 to 4 again.

1. Load the document onto the paper chute.

Load the batch so that the front side of the document (the first page when the number of sheets is more than one) faces down (to the paper chute).

Reduce the number of sheets and load them so that a batch of the document is under the reference marks on the side guides.

Reference mark 1534201880 VBCDELC Paper chute Side guide

When loading longer documents, pull out the paper chute extension.

Extension Paper chute

3. Adjust the side guides to the document width.

Move the side guides so that they are touching the document edge. If there is clearance between the document edge and the guide, the scanned images may be skewed.

About "Counter" (serial number)

• When the first time you save a file into the image saving folder, which you specify on the [Save] tab, using a name specified in the "File Name" field, the name is suffixed with 1 (it will be 001 if the serial number, or "Counter," is of three digits). The serial number is incremented by one every time you save a new file (until you enter a new file name).
• When another file with the same name exists in the image saving folder, the name is suffixed with the next smallest available number. Example: Suppose Scan01.pdf, Scan03.pdf, and Scan04.pdf already exist in the same folder. When the next time you save the scanned image to files with the same name, the file names will be Scan02.pdf, and then Scan05.pdf, Scan06.pdf, Scan07.pdf ....
• When the suffix number becomes greater than the maximum number of specified digits (for example, when you want to save the 100th file with two-digit specified for the "Counter"), the number of digits is increased automatically.

Clicking the [OK] button enables the settings.

(An example of the file name that you set is displayed under the [File name format] button.)

Select this mode when you wish to scan documents at the highest quality.

Normal is equivalent to 150 dpi for color mode and 300 dpi for B&W mode, Fine is equivalent to 200 dpi for color mode and 400 dpi for B&W mode, Best is equivalent to 300 dpi for color mode and 600 dpi for B&W mode, and Excellent is equivalent to 600 dpi for color mode and 1200 dpi for B&W mode.

Generally, the higher the required Image quality is specified, the longer it takes to scan documents and the larger the file size becomes.

As a general rule, scan no more than 10 sheets at a time in Excellent mode.

■Color mode:

Specify whether to scan documents in color mode or in black-and-white mode.

By clicking ↓, you can select one of the following modes:

- Auto Color Detection (Automatically recognizes the document color) ScanSnap automatically recognizes whether the document to be scanned is color or black-and-white, and switches the scan mode accordingly.

• Color All documents are scanned in the color mode. This setting is for scanning color documents.

- B&W All documents are scanned in B&W mode. This setting is for scanning black-and-white documents containing mostly text. File sizes can also be kept smaller than if the document is scanned in the color mode.

In normal circumstances, use "Auto Color Detection."

If this setting is specified, you do not have to change the color mode each time you scan a document.

*However, the following types of color documents may be recognized as black and white:

- Faintly-toned documents - Documents that have a slightly-colored portion To scan such documents in color, select "Color" in the "Color mode" drop-down list. In addition, the following type of documents may be recognized as color.

- Brightness (Black and White scanning only)

Sets the color density for scanning black-and-white images.

Moving the slider to the left will lighten the scanned image, while moving the slider to the right will darken the scanned image.

* This function is enabled only when the "Color mode" is set to "B&W," or when "Auto Color Detection" is selected and the document is recognized as back-and-white.

- Setting for text only document

Mark or unmark the checkbox according to the type of your document as described below.

• Mark this checkbox when scanning documents containing only printed or handwritten text.
• Clear this checkbox when scanning documents containing photographs.

- Allow automatic blank page removal.

If this checkbox is marked, ScanSnap detects blank pages in the document and automatically removes them to output images.

For example, when a stack of documents containing both double-sided and single-sided documents is scanned in Duplex scan mode, this feature removes only the backside (i.e. blank pages) of single-sided documents from the output images.

* No scanned images are generated if all the sheets in the document are recognized as blank pages.

The following types of documents may be accidentally recognized as blank pages:

• Almost blank documents containing only a few characters
• Documents of only one color (solid color including black) and without any patterns, lines, or characters
  Before discarding the scanned documents, check for pages accidentally removed from the output image. If any, you need to re-scan the document.

- Correct skewed character strings automatically.

If this checkbox is marked, ScanSnap detects a skew of the documents and outputs corrected images. Up to +/-5 degrees of skew can be corrected.

This function detects a document skew based on the characters on the document. Therefore, it may not work properly for the following kinds of documents:

• Documents on which the pitches of lines or characters are extremely narrow, or adjacent characters contact with each other
• Documents with many outlined or decorated characters
• Documents with many photographs or figures and only a few characters
• Documents with characters in patterned background
• Documents with characters printed in various directions (e.g. plans)
• Documents with long diagonal lines
• Documents with handwritten characters
  *When you scan such documents, clear the checkbox.

- Allow automatic image rotation

This setting automatically detects the orientation of a text on the document, and changes the orientation of the image.

This function detects the orientation based on characters on the document. Therefore, it does not work properly for the following kinds of document:

• Documents which have many extremely large/small characters
• Documents on which pitches of lines or characters are extremely narrow, or characters are overlapped
• Documents with many characters that contact underlines or ruled lines
• Documents with many photographs or figures and a few characters
• Documents with characters in patterned background
• Documents with characters printed in various directions (e.g. plans, etc.)
• Documents with only capital letters
• Documents with handwritten characters
• Documents with blurred or smeared characters
  *When you scan such documents, clear the checkbox.

Try the following:• Slightly press down the first sheet of the document with your finger at the beginning of scanning.• Change the sheet feeding direction.
The file size of a scanned black-and-white image is the same as that of a color document.	Is the black-and-white document scanned in the color mode?	Select "B&W" from the "Color mode" drop-down list on the [Scanning] tab of the "Scan and Save Settings" window.
Images on the back-side of the pages, which are printed-through, are overlaid on the scanned image when scanning a double-sided document (print through).	Is the "Setting for text only document" checkbox (which is in the "Read Mode Option" window opened by clicking the [Option] button on the [Scanning] tab of the "Scan and Save Settings" window) cleared?	Mark the "Setting for text only document" checkbox.
Scanned images are not displayed on the screen (when "Allow automatic blank page removal" is enabled).	When "Allow automatic blank page removal" is enabled, almost blank documents with only a few characters may be accidentally recognized as blank pages and removed from the scanned image data.	In the "Scan and Save Settings" window, select the [Scanning] tab, click the [Option] button, and then clear the "Allow automatic blank page removal" checkbox.
Scanned images are skewed (when "Correct skewed character strings automatically" is enabled).	Are the document skewed +/-5 degrees or more while it is fed into the ADF?	This deskew function can correct a skew of less than +/-5 degrees. Load the document onto the scanner using the side guide so that the document skew does not exceed this limit.
	Depending on the contents of the document, the automatic image deskew may not work properly.	Refer to "Correct skewed character strings automatically." (page 44)
The orientation of scanned images is not displayed correctly (when "Allow automatic image rotation" is enable.)	Depending on the contents of the document, the automatic image rotation may not work properly.	For information about the "Allow automatic image rotation" checkbox, refer to "Correcting the orientation of scanned image" (page 60)
Letters on the scanned images cannot be read.	Have you scanned documents written in small letters?	When small letters are squashed, select "Excellent" in the Image quality drop-down list on the [Scanning] tab of the "Scan and Save Settings" window, and then re-scan the document.Note: If you scan the document in the Excellent quality, the data size of the scanned image increases and thus time required for scanning is lengthened.
The document is not fed properly or gets jammed.	Is the inside of the scanner dirty?	Clean the dirty locations.
The scanned image is chipped/Slant lines are produced on the scanned image/The output image is wider than the original.	With "Automatic detection" being selected in the "Paper size" drop-down list, was the document skewed during a scan?	Neatly align the edges of paper sheets with Side Guide.* If you are scanning documents of mixed paper sizes, marking the "Scan mixed paper size" checkbox [See "Scanning documents of different widths or sizes at a time" (page 62)], carefully load smaller documents so that they can be fed straight. If those documents cannot be fed straight, it is recommended to scan only documents of about the same size at a time.

Cloth Cleaner F1 or neutral detergent Paint thinner

6.3 Cleaning the Inside of the Scanner

Clean the inside of the scanner with a cloth moistened with Cleaner F1.

After the scanner has been in use for a period of time, its inside will be contaminated with paper debris and dust. The accumulation of debris and dust may cause scanning problems.

As a guideline, clean the ADF at least every 1,000 scans. Note that this depends on the type of the documents scanned. For example, the ADF must be cleaned more frequently if documents are scanned when the ink has not been sufficiently fixed on the paper.

Clean the ADF according to the following procedure. (Refer to the illustrations on the following page.)

The glass surface inside the ADF becomes hot during the scanner operation.

Before you start cleaning, disconnect the AC adapter from the outlet and wait at least 15 minutes for the scanner to cool down.

- Do not use water or neutral detergent to clean the inside of the scanner.

- Do not use compressed air to clean the scanner. Compressed air cause dirt and dust to enter the scanner, which may result in scanner failure and malfunction.
