Fujitsu Computer Products of America has introduced the third generation model of its award-winning Fujitsu ScanSnap scanning solution for Mac users. The Fujitsu S510M scanner comes equipped with enhanced functionality for searchable PDF creation, advanced paper handling of delicate documents, added filing sheets and a new Quick Menu interface for ease-of-use in controlling scanned documents.
Additionally, the new Fujitsu S510M scanner comes bundled with new (and Mac compatibale) software to enable users to create searchable portable document format (PDF) files with one touch of a button, as well as offering commenting and collaboration features for PDF documents.
New to Mac users, the Fujitsu ScanSnap S510M scanner now comes bundled with ABBYY FineReader 3.0 for ScanSnap, a custom-built optical character recognition (OCR) software application based on ABBYY’s recognition technology. The FineReader software is integrated with ScanSnap. Using ABBYY FineReader software for ScanSnap, users can convert documents into editable and searchable PDFs. Additionally, with bundled Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, ScanSnap boasts editing features including commenting and mark-up capabilities for advanced collaboration. With the ScanSnap S510M, you can attach scans directly to e-mail, save scans to selectable folders or send scans directly to a printer in place of a photocopier.
Supporting Mac OS X 10.4 or higher, the S510M is Universal Binary so runs natively on both PowerPC and Intel Macs. It costs US$495.
