To make scanning as simple as possible, ScanSnap inspects each document to decide if a document should be scanned in black and white or color, what the size of the page being scanned is and eliminate blank pages, all of which serve to speed the scanning operation and minimize your storage requirements. In addition each document will have misaligned text corrected (Auto Deskew) and each page will have its orientation automatically adjusted.

Using the supplied carrier sheet provides A3 scanning capability, A3 pages are folded and placed in the carrier sheet, when scanned, ScanSnap will automatically stitch the 2 (front & back) images together to recreate the full A3 image. The carrier sheet can also be used for scanning photos/documents which might be easily scratched or irregular shaped documents which are difficult to feed otherwise and may cause paper jams.

ScanSnap incorporates a 50 page automatic document feeder, duplex capability and color scanning within a surprisingly small footprint and is supplied with a full version of Adobe Acrobat X Standard.
