Quickly and Easily Digitize Various Document Types!

Features

Able to Scan an Incredible 18 Double-Sided Color Pages 
per Minute! (20% faster than the previous model!)

The ScanSnap

 S500M scanner 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.

Compact angular design

With a touch of a button the ScanSnap S500M scanner 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 detection

 

The S500M saves storage space and editing time by automatically  

 

deleting blank pages.
