How to fix chipped or slanted lines on scanned images from Fujitsu ScanSnap S500 Scanner?
- M
  matthewhallSep 23, 2025
  If the scanned image is chipped, slant lines are produced, or the output image is wider than the original, and "Automatic detection" is selected in the "Paper size" drop-down list, the document may have been skewed during a scan. Neatly align the edges of paper sheets with Side Guide. If you are scanning documents of mixed paper sizes, marking the "Scan mixed paper size" checkbox, carefully load smaller documents so that they can be fed straight. If those documents cannot be fed straight, it is recommended to scan only documents of about the same size at a time.

What to do if scanning does not start on my Fujitsu Scanner?

  johnsonkathleenAug 27, 2025
  First, ensure the USB cable is correctly connected, checking the hub's power if one is in use. If issues persist, disconnect and reconnect the AC cable and AC adapter, waiting at least 5 seconds before reconnecting. If the ScanSnap Manager icon isn't visible, start it manually via [Start] -> [All Programs] -> [ScanSnap Manager] -> [ScanSnap Manager]. As an alternative, you can try performing "Scan for hardware changes" or "Refresh" from Device Manager. If problems continue, disconnect and reconnect the AC cable and AC adapter, waiting at least 5 seconds. If a USB hub is being used, connect the scanner directly to your PC. If your PC has multiple USB ports, try connecting the scanner to a different port. Finally, restart your PC.

Why is my Fujitsu ScanSnap S500 Scanner scanning so slow?
- C
  Christopher SotoAug 27, 2025
  The scanning speed might be slow if your PC doesn't meet the recommended system requirements. If this is the case, at [Scanning] - [Option] in the "Scan and Save Settings" window, clear the checkboxes of the following to increase the scanning speed: Correct skewed character strings automatically and Allow automatic image rotation. Also, if the scanner is connected via USB 1.1, and your PC has a USB 2.0 port, connect the scanner to the USB 2.0 port. If using a USB hub, ensure it also supports USB 2.0 interfaces.

What to do if Fujitsu ScanSnap S500 shows 'Document size incorrect' with Carrier Sheet?
- M
  Michael LloydSep 16, 2025
  If the message "Document size incorrect" appears when scanning with a Carrier Sheet, it may be because you put multiple small-size materials (pictures/post cards) in the Carrier Sheet for scanning. Put only one small-size material (pictures/post cards) in Carrier Sheet per scanning.
