Fujitsu Computer Products of America Inc. has added to its portable ScanSnap line of document imaging scanners and services this week.
The new Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300 is a mobile multi-page scanner that employs the same one-button scanning as its predecessors, but with added features-like automatic quality sensing and long document support. It is also the first ScanSnap scanner designed for full cross-platform functionality for both PC and Mac.†
“Following the successful launch of the ScanSnap S300 and S300M, it was important that we bring even more scanning functionality and platform flexibility to mobile consumers and business professionals with this latest solution,” explains Fujitsu product marketing manager Michael Sidejas. “The new ScanSnap S1300 provides users the tools to be even more productive and paperless anywhere, regardless of the computer they use.”
Fujitsu introduced multi-sheet, duplex performance in a USB-powered mobile scanner with the ScanSnap S300 series. The ScanSnap S1300 continues that legacy, adding greater intelligence, productivity features, and flexibility.
“Customers who travel regularly for business or share devices between work and home computers need a mobile scanning experience that offers them easy operation, quality image processing, and platform flexibility,” Sidejas adds.
