ScanSnap Manager updated for Snow Leopard

by TJ Luoma (RSS feed) on Nov 16th, 2009

Fujitsu has finally updated the ScanSnap Manager app for Snow Leopard. "Version 2.2 L12" is available for download for the following models:
  • ScanSnap S300M
  • ScanSnap S510M
  • ScanSnap S500M
  • ScanSnap S1500M
Unfortunately, for some bizarre reason they require that the previous version be installed before installing this version, which means that if you did a clean installation of Snow Leopard (like I did), you will have to download and install the old, incompatible version first, and then run the new installer.

The installer also forces the ScanSnap manager into your Login Items which is only slightly less obnoxious than forcing itself into your dock.

Also, if you use FineReader for ScanSnap S1500M and S510M, the Snow Leopard update is still not available, but you can sign up to be notified when it is released.

Thanks to DEVONtechnologies for the heads-up!

New Fujitsu ScanSnap S300M

by Mat Lu (RSS feed) on Jan 16th, 2008

Just about everyone who has used one seems to rave about Fujitsu's ScanSnap line of sheet-fed scanners, especially when combined with OCR software like DEVONthink Pro Office. The only problem has been the price, running at nearly $500. Well, Macworld is reporting that Fujitsu is finally going to release Mac support for their newest, portable ScanSnap S300 which has hitherto been Windows only and which costs a considerably more palatable $295.

Unfortunately, it will not come with the full version of Adobe Acrobat like the more expensive scanners in the line, but it looks to be a good deal both for mobile and for home users looking to get organized. It will provide full-duplex scanning to PDF at 8ppm. Fujitsu's site has not been updated yet, but the scanner is expected to ship in March.
