Will FileCenter allow you to erase unwanted marks and paper edges from the scanned document similar to the PaperPort feature?

Yes it does and let me add this application is far and away superior to PaperPort. I cannot be more emphatic about that. FileCenter is a solid, quick, reliable software. PaperPort is none of those.

I had the same question. Some of the glue from family albums came onto my scanner. At first I tried Windex. That was a bad idea! It dried into a smear. Luckily, I only did it in a small corner and was able to wipe it away with a dry cloth.A sales guy at Best Buy recommended Monster ScreenClean. It works really well. It only comes in a kit that includes a soft cloth, but the cloth is worth it.The software that comes with it allows it to scan more than one picture at a time. Using CanoScan Toolbox 5.0, I was able to set it so that, with one click, it would scan, separate multiple pictures from a single scan, save the pictures to a specified location, and open them in Photoshop.

Yes it can. You have to select type of scan, e.g., tiff or JPEG. You'll probably want JPEG. You should set the resolution, which depends upon what you want to do with the scanned image. Low resolution is OK if you are going to distribute the scanned pictures in emails, but if you want to make prints ultimately, save at at least 300 dpi. You should tell the scanner where on your computer you want to save the files. I use "My Pictures," but the default, whatever it is, is OK, as long as you make a note of it, so that you can find the pictures after scanning them. You'll be asked about color settings or black and white. Choose the default settings for either, since things can become quite complex if you decide to tweak the settings. This is an excellent scanner, and it can do anything you ssk of it, including restoring damaged pictures, but that's for more advanced users.

HI, it is possible to scan your old negatives. BUT, handle them with great care and align them without using the "slide holder". If they are wider than the holder unfortunately they will have to be cut down. Visit your local "STAPLES" etc and buy a piece of wafer thin clear Perspex, cut this to be the same size as the "slide holder", use 2 pieces and just trap the neg, use a bit of cellotape on the leading edge to hold the 2 bits together and this will act as a hinge to make it easier to load. Download "picassa" on your pc and you can then remove any dust or other marks from the negs. Have fun, anything is possible.

No is comes with its own program called Paperport, you can drag and drop from this to other programs.

I don't think you will have any problem as long as you cut the pages so that glue and debris does not contaminate the scanner.

The included software will let you save the scan as a jpeg or a tiff. I think it also has other formats, but these are the only two I use. Tiff files allow you to edit without creating artifact.

Probably, but I would not recommend. This model is very demanding about paper and source settings, and multiple users would trip constantly over that problem. In addition., you could probably not scan to software effectively.

Not perfect, but very good. Brother uses Scansoft Paperport 12SE software by Nuance for scanning and OCR. It does a very good job with clear typed scans. If there is handwriting on the page, or unusual formatting, then sometimes the scan software gets confused. I find that it usually takes less than a minute per page to correct errors, if there are any. Proofreading is necessary with all OCR software to insure accuracy.

If you are speaking of the bundle software versus just the scanner the answer is "YES!". The software alone has a value equal to or exceed the cost of the scanner alone. Adobe so that you can create and edit PDF's. The disk had both the old Rack2Filer and the new Rack2Filer Smart software which is the way to store documents (and the source file as well which can be edited from the binders". Cardminder, though not perfect with many of the new creative business cards, is also useful software. If you are in an organization using SharePoint you can save directly to your SharePoint site with the added software. In my opinion the scanner without the software is just a way to create a PDF almost like having and auto without any roads. We had used the earlier S1500 the ix500 is a great improvement.

I finally called a copier repair person for this problem. He had a easy, but counterintuitive, solution. Clean the paper feed roller with WD40. He explained why it worked (which I don't remember), but it certainly did work. Wipe off any excess of course.

Clear plastic sheets that you put the item to be scanned between. Flattens odd shaped, crumpled pieces that tend to get caught in scanner. Works great!

No. You will have to manually straighten any paper(s) before you can do the scanning.

Sorry, don't know. I really did not like the software, so I dumped it for a Brother DS700d sheet fed scanner with Page Maker software which are far superior and costs less.

Yeah, I've been using a couple of ScanSnaps for over a year, with no problems til today. Like you, I have a 500g drive, so I was stumped. When rebooting brought no relief, I literally sat and stared at my file mgr, trying to figure out what, if anything, changed. That's when I realized that I'd been lazy/ sloppy the past few weeks- not bothering to organize the docs into assorted folders. Live & learn, eh?!

You can also manually scan double-sided pages. The software leads you through the process. Very easy to do.

I have receipts from 1998 that have the old .max filetype and Paperport 14.0 is able to open them.
