The ScanSnap S1500M is a complete desktop solution for Mac. Simply press one scanner button to convert color or mono, multi page, double sided documents into digital PDF files which you can file, organize, share and email with ease. The ScanSnap S1500M provides Mac users an effective way to greatly reduce paper clutter, storage space, and security risk associated with unmanaged paperwork at home or office. Even better, documents scanned by ScanSnap take on a higher level of accessibility and usefulness once liberated into the digital realm.

The ScanSnap S1500M has been engineered to deliver impressive performance at up to 20 pages per minute in color, grayscale, or black and white at resolutions of 200 and even 300 dpi.

ScanSnap S1500M has several automatic features to help ensure scans look their best without operator intervention before or after they scan. ScanSnap S1500M is now equipped with an ultrasonic multi-feed detection sensor that can be turned on to help operators avoid losing images. What's more, an interactive interface allows users to easily and quickly bypass intentional double-feeds such as a taped-receipt on an expense report.

From the software housed 'Quick Menu' it is easy to scan documents into folders, attach them to emails, or via the built in Abbyy OCR functions directly to editable text/data in Word or Excel.

The ScanSnap S1500M comes with a linking function to popular cloud services including Dropbox, Google Docs, Evernote, SugarSync and Salesforce CRM. It is now easy to seamlessly link and save your scanned image data virtually anywhere and anytime. If no scanning interface is available Windows users can select the 'ScanSnap folder' option within the cloud application which then allows you to scan directly to the cloud through the import capability.

Scan to iPad and iPhone, and now to Android devices, via the downloadable ScanSnap Connect application. Upload your document fast, securely and easily; instantly display and share.

The ScanSnap software automatically creates Adobe PDF files which have become the de-facto standard for document exchange, enabling you to send documents anywhere in the world safe in the knowledge the recipient will see the document exactly as you see it.

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's orientation will be automatically adjusted.

ScanSnap incorporates a 50 page automatic document feeder, duplex capability and color scanning within a surprisingly small footprint.

To assist those MAC users who also use Windows OS on their MAC, the scanner is supplied with both a MAC and Windows version of ScanSnap Manager, allows the basic scanner functionality to be used in both environments.

The S1500M is bundled with Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Professional.
