With any scanner, the included software is a key component in determining what the scanner can and can't do.

The ScanSnap's software-and particularly its scan utility-demands special mention, both for what's good about it and what's bad. You can buy the identical scanner (with the different color scheme I already mentioned), with Mac software instead plus the Windows scan utility, as the ScanSnap S1500M. I installed the ScanSnap on a Windows Vista system, but according to Fujitsu the disc includes a full set of software for Windows 2000 and XP as well as a Mac version of the scan utility. Install the software, plug in the power cord and a USB cable, let Windows recognize the scanner, and you're ready for your first scan. It also adds an ultrasonic sensor to detect double feeds. It shares the same 600 pixel per inch (ppi) optical resolution, which is more than enough for document scanning, and the same 50-page capacity for its automatic document feeder (ADF). The S1500 offers roughly a 10 percent boost in speed from the last-generation ScanSnap, to 20 pages per minute (ppm) or 40 images per minute (ipm) when scanning in duplex mode (both sides of the page at once).
