Scanning speed and resolution
Simply by placing a pile of paper in the 50 page ADF and pressing a button, ScanSnap S1500M will scan black and white documents at speeds of 20 pages per minute at a resolution of 300dpi (colour documents at 150dpi), or if the page is double sided 40 images per minute is achievable. Higher resolutions of up to 600dpi are possible in both colour or black and white and the user has the choice to scan directly to Adobe PDF, Word and Excel or standard image viewers.
Mixed batch scanning
The ScanSnap S1500M will comfortably scan documents from as small as business card size right up to A3 with the use of a supplied carrier sheet. Software enables the scanner to automatically recognise the size of documents scanned and crop them accordingly, thereby optimising storage space.
Additional functionality
ScanSnap S1500M comes with a host of built in functionality to improve the quality of the scanned image and minimise operator involvement. Automatic colour detection ensures that whatever the colour or monochrome format of a document that it is scanned and stored accordingly. Mixed single and double sided documents are no problem as any blank pages scanned will be automatically removed and equally if pages are scanned in the wrong way up with text elements the scanned image will be automatically rotated. The enhanced image is also improved with automatic deskew that ensures that documents inserted at an angle are automatically realigned.
Simple, intuitive scanning
A new feature of ScanSnap S1500M is the 'Quick Menu' function. This feature allows the user during the scan process to determine the destination of the scanned document. The Quick Menu is launched after pressing the scan button and the user can then choose to immediately send the scanned document by email, print it out, store in a particular folder or have them converted and opened in Word, Excel or PowerPoint.
