Mac Document Scanner

The Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500M is a sheet-fed duplex scanner built for Macintosh users who want to turn paper archives into searchable PDFs with one button. It handles A4, Letter, Legal and custom sizes up to 8.5" x 14" and feeds up to 50 pages automatically. The CCD sensor captures colour, greyscale or monochrome originals at 600 x 600 dpi optical resolution.

USB Interface Limits

Connection is via USB and the scanner draws up to 35 W while operating, dropping to 4.5 W in standby on a 100-240 V supply. The host computer must provide a compatible USB port and Mac OS software environment; no network or wireless capability is present. Maximum throughput is 20 pages per minute in simplex or duplex mode, so very large batches will be limited by that rate and the 50-sheet feeder capacity.

Compact Desk Footprint

The unit measures 11.5" x 6.3" x 6.2" and weighs 6.62 lbs, so it sits on a desk without dominating the workspace. An ultrasonic multi-feed sensor or length detection helps prevent jams when mixed-size documents are loaded together. Bundled Mac-only software includes Cardiris 3.6, Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and ABBYY FineReader 4.0 for OCR and business-card management.

Questions about this item

Which ScanSnap S1500M capacity should I choose?

This model ships as a single configuration with a 50‑sheet automatic document feeder and 20 ppm duplex speed; there are no alternate capacities to select.

What does the 20 ppm rating mean in daily use?

You can scan a 50‑page double‑sided stack in roughly two and a half minutes because the scanner feeds both sides at 20 pages per minute.

What interface does the S1500M use and what does it limit?

It connects via USB and draws up to 35 W while scanning, so it runs from a standard USB port without an external power brick.
