Home and office document scanner

The Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 is a sheet-fed duplex scanner built for Windows users who want to turn paper archives into searchable files. It handles A4, Letter, Legal and custom sizes up to 8.5 by 14 inches at 600 by 600 dpi optical resolution. Ultrasonic multi-feed detection helps prevent missed pages during batch jobs. Bundled software includes ScanSnap Organizer, CardMinder, Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard and ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap.

Upgrade from flatbed or single-sided units

Moving from a flatbed or simplex device cuts scanning time because the S1500 captures both sides in one pass at 20 pages per minute. The CCD sensor and white cold cathode lamp deliver consistent colour fidelity for mixed documents. The jump is worth it when daily volumes exceed a few dozen pages and two-sided originals are common. Users staying with occasional single-page scans will not see the same benefit.

Sustained batch scanning behaviour

In continuous operation the scanner draws 35 watts or less and relies on the automatic document feeder to maintain throughput. The ultrasonic sensor monitors each sheet so long runs stay accurate without manual intervention. Standby power drops to 4.5 watts between jobs. The 6.62 lb chassis stays stable on a desktop during extended sessions.

Questions about this item

What desk space does the 11.5" x 6.3" x 6.2" scanner need?

Allow at least 11.5 inches depth by 6.3 inches width on a flat surface; the 6.2 inch height clears most low shelves.

Which step do users skip when installing the ScanSnap S1500 with the bundled ScanSnap Organizer V4.0 and Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard?

Connect the USB cable, run the installer from the supplied media, then register the scanner in the Organizer before scanning the first batch.

When should the ultrasonic multi-feed sensor or the pick roller be cleaned or replaced?

Clean the ultrasonic sensor and feed rollers whenever multi-feed detection triggers falsely; replace the pick roller after heavy use if pages slip or skew.
