One lets you set your scan parameters and destination first, and then hit the front-panel scan button.

It also gives you two choices for how to scan. The good news about the scan utility is that it offers a number of small, but significant, improvements over earlier versions. With the S1500, however, you're locked into scanning through Fujitsu's scan utility, which may or may not feel straightforward to you or easy to use, depending on your tastes, work habits, and experience with scanning. And there are few, if any, other scanners that don't come with a driver-most often a Twain driver-to let you work this way. In many cases-if you're adding scanned pages to a document you already have open, for example-this is the most convenient approach to scanning. You can then adjust the scan settings if necessary, scan, and work with the scanned document. If you have a driver, you can use it with, say, an optical character recognition (OCR) program, so you can open the OCR program and use the program's scan command to bring up the driver. That's been particularly true for all of the ScanSnap models-including the S1500-because Fujitsu doesn't provide a standard driver that will let you use the scan command from within a program. With any scanner, the included software is a key component in determining what the scanner can and can't do. The ScanSnap's software-and particularly its scan utility-demands special mention, both for what's good about it and what's bad. You can buy the identical scanner (with the different color scheme I already mentioned), with Mac software instead plus the Windows scan utility, as the ScanSnap S1500M.
I installed the ScanSnap on a Windows Vista system, but according to Fujitsu the disc includes a full set of software for Windows 2000 and XP as well as a Mac version of the scan utility.

Install the software, plug in the power cord and a USB cable, let Windows recognize the scanner, and you're ready for your first scan. It also adds an ultrasonic sensor to detect double feeds. It shares the same 600 pixel per inch (ppi) optical resolution, which is more than enough for document scanning, and the same 50-page capacity for its automatic document feeder (ADF). The S1500 offers roughly a 10 percent boost in speed from the last-generation ScanSnap, to 20 pages per minute (ppm) or 40 images per minute (ipm) when scanning in duplex mode (both sides of the page at once).
