New ScanSnap S300 Mobile Scanning Solution Enables Anytime, Anywhere
Scanning for Mobile Professionals and Home Users
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Fujitsu Computer Products of
America, Inc., a market leader in document imaging scanners and services,
today introduced the Fujitsu ScanSnap S300 mobile scanning solution, the
world's smallest color, duplex automatic document feeder (ADF) scanner.
With an ultra-compact footprint measuring a mere 11.2" x 3.7" x 3.0" and
weighing less than 3.1 lbs, the ScanSnap S300 scanner is small enough to
fit in a briefcase or laptop bag, making it a great solution for the mobile
business professional, and, with its advanced scanning functionality, also
powerful enough to sit comfortably beside them in their office/home office
when not on the go.
The new ScanSnap S300 mobile scanning solution offers the fastest
"one-touch" conversion of paper documents into searchable Adobe(R) portable
document format (PDF) files available today in the mobile scanning
industry. Users simply load a stack of up to 10 documents into the ADF and
press the "SCAN" button to produce searchable PDF files at speeds of up to
8 pages per minute (ppm) for single-sided documents and 16 images per
minute (ipm) for double-sided documents. The ScanSnap S300 scanner can also
be powered from a USB connection (USB 2.0/USB 1.1) on any PC, allowing road
warriors to scan paper documents, receipts, bills, invoices and business
cards anywhere they go. Here are a few other unique scanning features and
software bundles included with the ScanSnap S300 scanner:
-- Fujitsu ScanSnap Manager V4.2 -- Provides a simple user interface that
allows users to change settings for selecting applications, creating
searchable PDF files, activating intelligent settings, choosing paper
sizes, and modifying image compression output.
-- Fast Scanning Speeds -- At 8 ppm (simplex) and 16 ipm (duplex), the
ScanSnap S300 scanner provides excellent color batch scanning
performance. If A/C power is unavailable, the ScanSnap S300 scanner
can be connected to a second actively powered USB port on any PC and
provide color batch scanning speeds of up to 4 ppm (simplex) and 8 ipm
(duplex).
-- Business Card Scanning -- CardMinder(TM) V3.2 transforms business cards
into editable information and can import contacts from external
databases, export contacts to other contact managers such as Microsoft
Outlook(R), and even synchronize them.
-- Fujitsu ScanSnap Organizer V3.2 -- Provides advanced viewing and
control of scanned content, including large thumbnails consisting of
all the pages scanned within the batch.

desires.

detect for automatic page orientation for proper viewing.
-- Automatic Image Deskew -- Automatically senses when images are
misaligned (skewed) and corrects the alignment automatically before
presenting the final image to the user.

page size and crops the edges accordingly. The ScanSnap S300 senses up
to 9 different paper sizes from business cards to legal length and can
also be configured to support "custom" paper sizes as specified by the
user.
-- Dual 600dpi Optical Resolution -- Offers dual 600dpi optical resolution
ensuring the highest image quality possible in a compact, mobile
device. Users have their choice of setting scanning modes of Normal

-- Document Protection -- If scanning sensitive documents, ScanSnap
Manager will allow users to password protect PDF files.
"The ScanSnap S300 mobile scanning solution truly packs a ton of
valuable features into such a compact scanner for the road warrior, home
office worker or consumer looking to digitize important documents around
the house," said Victor Kan, vice president of sales and marketing, Imaging
Products Group, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. "Whether you're
a business professional in need of capturing mission critical documents or
in need of an easy solution to digitize recipes, bills or birth
certificates at home, the ScanSnap S300 scanner is up to the task."
Business on the Road: The Reality of Today's Remote Professional
Businesses are relying more and more on extending staff beyond the
conventional office setting in order to reduce cost in terms of office
resources, utilities, and amenities. At the same time, businesses rely on
remote professionals to extend the reach of their offerings, remove
obstacles based on distance, build healthier and more personalized business
relationships, and bring more customized services to their clients.
While on the road or working in home offices, workers are separated
from many office resources, limiting productivity, creating redundancy, and
impacting responsiveness to internal and external customers. Mobile
technology allows business professionals to interface more seamlessly with
business processes fundamentally tied to existing office automation.
The ScanSnap S300 mobile scanning solution arms traveling professionals
such as a lawyer, real estate, healthcare, or an insurance agent with the
ability to digitize documents instantly to protect critical business papers
and ensure there is no wasted time preventing the completion of a business
deal or risk of losing a sale.
