If the system requirements above are not satisfied, the ScanSnap may not operate.
If a USB port on the keyboard or on the monitor is in use, the ScanSnap may not operate.
When using a commercially available USB hub, use a type that is powered from an electrical power supply (and that comes with an adapter).
Scanning speed decreases when you use the ScanSnap in the following environments:
The computer's CPU performance is low, or the memory is insufficient.
The version of the USB port or the USB hub is USB 1.1.
There is not enough disk space on the computer.
Multiple wireless access points are available or multiple devices that can establish a connection via Wi-Fi are available.
The network connection is unstable.
The actual disk space used for the installation of the software and the disk space required for the installation may be different because of the disk management in your Windows system.
To scan a document, a disk space that is approximately three times larger than the size of the file to be saved is required.
