Fujitsu, maker of document imaging scanners, recently released its latest portable ScanSnap scanner. The Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i is compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems and works with Android and iOS devices.

Users of the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i can send and store documents on Android and iOS devices, Dropbox, Evernote, GoogleDocs, SugarSync, Salesforce Chatter and other cloud-based storage solutions. The scanner features the same one-button scanning capability as other ScanSnap scanners and weights only 3.1 lbs.

“We’re excited that ScanSnap has integrated Dropbox into their devices via the Dropbox API to give our mutual users a great solution for digitizing and managing their content across multiple platforms,” said Ilya Fushman, Head of Platform Business Development and Corporate Development, Dropbox, Inc.

The ScanSnap S1300i also comes with software for PC and Mac, allowing users to customize the features of the scanner to best meet their needs. Software and new features of the ScanSnap S1300i include:

With the app, users can send and store scanned documents on their mobile devices using a WiFi connection, as well as collaborate with other professionals.
Store Documents in the Cloud: The ScanSnap S1300i also has the ability to scan directly into cloud-based storage solutions such as Dropbox, GoogleDocs, SugarSync, Evernote and Salesforce Chatter.
“ScanSnap Folder”: The “ScanSnap Folder” replicates ScanSnap as a Windows folder, allowing users to automatically attach or upload files from the ScanSnap S1300i directly into software or web applications. The “ScanSnap Folder” is only available on Windows for cloud-bases services and applications capable of managing and uploading PDF and JPEG files.

Automatic Quality: The Auto Image Quality setting automatically increases the resolution on documents sized A6 or smaller, making the fine-print legible and searchable when scanned.
Highlighter Function: Users can highlight text on scanned documents and create searchable keywords.
ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap: The ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap converts scanned documents into editable Word and Excel files with the push of a button.
