The ScanSnap scanner and the bundled software is by far my most valuable and used piece of office equipment I own. I only have 2 employees, but we each have a scanner and we use it every day. We scan everything. I recommend this scanner to everybody I know. It's super simple to use and file everything. I don't know what I'd do without it.

This section explains the functions of each software and how to install it. Use the software to specify the scan settings to scan documents with the ScanSnap, or to manage, search, edit, and utilize content data records created from documents that you scanned.
