9/23/2020 Fujitsu Scansnap S510m Mac Software
Fujitsu abandoned support for ScanSnap S1500M with MacOS 10.15 Catalina, but open Source SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) allows it work on MacOS and Linux.

ScanSnap Software Downloads. Kofax Power PDF Standard / Kofax Power PDF Standard for Mac is supported by ScanSnap iX500, ScanSnap SV600 or ScanSnap iX1500.
I’m finally taking the plunge, and slowly moving my 3 macs from 10.14 to 10.15. One issue was the ScanSnap S1500M. I search hi and low, read reviews and software support and bought the ScanSnap S1500M used on Amazon of $99 in January 2019. Unfortunately, I didn’t realized Fujitsu would be so lame as to end support. Yes, VueScan and ExactScan both support this scanner, and work well, but this is well over $100 of software for a $99 scanner.
The new Fujitsu ScanSnap S1100i is the lightweight companion for front-side document scanning at home or on the road. Whether scanning receipts, contracts, recipes, or plastic cards, ScanSnap takes scanning beyond the desktop into your world. Weighing only 12.3 ounces, the S1100i brings personal scanning to your Windows or Mac computer. Fujitsu ScanSnap S510M Scanner Driver and Software Download.

Dec 02, 2019 Some months ago, Fujitsu sent users of older ScanSnap models email informing them that their ScanSnap software would not be updated to 64-bit and would therefore not run under macOS 10.15 Catalina. While Fujitsu had developed a new, 64-bit scanning application, it would not support many of the older, wildly popular ScanSnap models, including.
I’m finally taking the plunge, and slowly moving my 3 macs from 10.14 to 10.15. One issue was the ScanSnap S1500M. I search hi and low, read reviews and software support and bought the ScanSnap S1500M used on Amazon of $99 in January 2019. Unfortunately, I didn’t realized Fujitsu would be so lame as to end support. Yes VueScan and ExactScan both support this scanner, and work well.
However, it would be well over $100 to buy the software. At that point, I might as well buy a different document scanner. I’ve been eying the Avision AW210 Color Simplex or Avision AD230 Color Duplex. The price is right, but know nothing of this brand. For $130 vs $100 on software, I think I could deal with the Simplex (maybe).
But if VueScan and ExactScan have gotten this non-TWAIN scanner to work … Open Source has to. And yes, SANE has done so. And I have gotten to work with both Ubuntu 19 (on a 10.14 “desktop” Mac in VirtualBox) and on my 10.15 old MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015). And both work well, at least for the functional part. The lacking piece is the FrontEnd – the GUI – the Graphical User Interface – that would actually make it useful for macOS users. I am super impressed with Paperwork but currently doesn’t work on macOS. (However, this whole projects is python + GTK … so it just the matter of time before it’s working on the mac. And … well, we need to get into the FreeBSD ports collection as well.)
Not going to go over the full Liunx and Paperwork side, but quickly, this is how to get it up and running on macOS 10.15 – with command line usage and no OCR support. However, generally the linux side is the same, just use your distro’s package manager.
First, if you don’t have homebrew go get it now. Of course make sure your scanner is connected
Next, a few simple command lines:
And that’s it. sane-fine-scanner (might need to be re-run with sudo?) will return a lot and possible some pipe errors … look in the text for something like “found USB scanner (vendor=0x04c5, product=0x11a2) at libusb:002:004”. The last command, with the -A, will give you all the Fujitsu backend driver specific options. For a multiple page, full-duplex scan , simply insert document(s) and run :
![]()
You can message around with options, but this will output will be in current directory … “out1.jpg”, and “out2.jpg”. This is not a user friendly front end, and will overwrite without prompting.
Some interesting notes/scripts I stumble over NormanTUD/AutoFeedscanOCR – could throw Tesseract in the mix and get OCR as well, all from the command line. It may be possible to also use “saned” to work on the button push.
Now, click on Applications.Step #3.

Paperwork is really cool. But hard to install for an average user (a techie, ops, eng/developer – probably can get it done) … but it is really awkward for the multiple page scans in version 1.3. Author has notes that version 2.0/2.1 will have a revamped interface. Took me a while to figure out, but use the drop down menu next to the “scan” button, and select “scan from feeder” …then you had to manually enter the number of pages to “process”. The backend likely auto detects this, but you have to tell the front end (paperwork) how many scans to process.

Awesome! One minor note: Even after restarting, the Japanese version did not want to install.
After a quick Spotlight search I found the culprit: I had to go to /Library/Receipts to kill the ScanSnap receipt, and all was good in the world of one-tap scanning.

Thanks for that bit of info, that was holding my install up too!
On a more general note - I am really disappointed at fujitsu for trying to monetize on their us customers by making separate mac and pc versions. On top of this, if you lost the CD for some reason you can't download the PC drivers online. You have to email customer support and wait a few hours to get a special web password to get the drivers again. I just wasted 2 hours of my life trying to get this scanner to work on my PC and then finally having to do this hack fix procedure on the mac. I am happier now though since I primarily use mac so the only reason I had a PC in the office even was to scan my docs! ![]()

I had no success with these instructions, I don't know why, but I just did. After installing, re-installing, throwing things around and countless google searches - I finally found one set of instructions that worked perfectly for my S510. Here is the link:

After following those instructions, everything looked great, but then a second window i clicked on was in Japanese. The plugin file under ScanSnap Manager also needs the corresponding English.1proj file copied/pasted.

Found an answer to my question!
http://www.documentsnap.com/fujitsu-scansnap-s1500-s1500m-are-now-cross-platform/ 'I have just confirmed with Fujitsu that yes, rei is right. You will be able to plug the ScanSnap S1500M into a Windows machine and vice versa (as long as you install the correct software). This is tremendous! No more Windows to Mac (or vice versa) workarounds!'

Scansnap S510m Catalina
We've gone ahead and made a pre-packaged version for download that works with Mac OS X 10.5.x (other releases not tested). This article is missing the fix for the bundles which stops you from being able to Scan2Folder, or print or Scan2Mail in english. This download includes everything, it is a shame that Fujitsu tried to sell a separate unit with this software. Shame on them!
Just download the Zipped DMG, mount it and drag the ScanSnap folder to your applications.. done :) http://yista.com/2010/03/01/fujitsu-scansnap-s510-mac-hack-download/ Enjoy! Comments are closed.
