Intelligent Speed
There's speed and then there's speed with quality. The ScanSnap S1500 has been engineered to deliver even faster performance with up to 20 pages per minute in color, grayscale, or black & white; however, S1500 remains just as fast when scanning at a higher resolution of 200 and even 300 dpi color or grayscale.
