Adobe update for 10.3.1 mac. I then remembered how in the past I had gotten the S300 working on the Mac by hacking the drivers. The S300 was a Windows-branded scanner that was identical in every respect to the Mac’s S300M, except for the color of the plastic.

If you own an older Fujitsu ScanSnap, you may have discovered that it’s no longer supported by El Capitan. My ScanSnap S300 falls into that category. The quickest way to check out the El Capitan compatibility of your ScanSnap is by heading over to the website, which has summarized the El Cap compatibility of many ScanSnap scanners. If your scanner is no longer supported, don’t give up hope. UPDATE (2015-10-25) – I neglected to mention that my problems started with a clean install of El Capitan on my MacBook Pro. I did an in-place upgrade to El Capitan on my iMac, and the ScanSnap S300 continued to work without any changes on my part. If you’ve done a clean install, though, the tip below may help.

I struck out with the official software for the S300, as my Mac couldn’t even see the scanner. I then remembered how in the past I had gotten the S300 working on the Mac by hacking the drivers. The S300 was a Windows-branded scanner that was identical in every respect to the Mac’s S300M, except for the color of the plastic. The hack involved using the S1500M drivers, and making one small change to the S1500M drivers to remove a “kill pill” Fujitsu had inserted to Mac prevent users from using one of its “Windows” scanners.

That hack later became unnecessary, when Fujitsu’s updated Mac drivers did away with that artificial distinction. Would those S1500M drivers save me again? I tried out the software for the S1500M earlier today, and, lo and behold, it worked with no modifications. Specifically, I downloaded and installed. I had previously installed the ABBYY FineReader software, so I don’t know whether the S1500M installer will get you that or not. I’ll be in the market for another ScanSnap soon, but it’s nice to know I don’t need to thrown a perfectly good scanner onto the trash heap.

I have an even older Scan Snap, model fi-5110EOXM. Experience so far with El Capitan has been frustrating. Driver version V22L15 has worked, but rarely and inconsistently. When it does not work, it just bounces in the dock and has to be force quit. This is even with gatekeeper turned off. I’ve tried installing V3.2L31, with the same results – eternal bouncing in the dock. I’ve uninstalled all, and then re-installed V22L11 and then V22L15 on top of that and had it work once.

(Incidentally, to even attempt this you have to mess with “pkgutil” in terminal to eradicate the instalelr receipt from the newer version, otherwise the V221L11 installer won’t run: ‘sudo pkgutil –forget jp.co.pfu.ScanSnap.V10L10’) But not again after a system restart. The frustrating thing is that I know it CAN work, so why can’t it work all the time? I doubt Fujitsu will be of any help. You are a life saver! Really sick of these annual Mac OS X upgrades. They offer absolutely no “features” that benefit or interest me. I held off for as long as I could, but when a quarter of my software no longer work on a 3-year old OS, it’s time to upgrade.

Then I find out my hardware no longer works! Planned obsolesce is going to force me to go back to Windows. I really hope they don’t follow Apple’s footsteps. It’s so unethical, that M$ might just do it. Both companies are just as bad as each other.

I'm debating purchasing the Fujitsu S300M or the S1500M ScanSnap scanners. I'm wondering whether there are any hardware differences between the 2 models besides the bundled software? I already have Adobe Acrobat Pro 8, and could purchase Abbyy Finereader or get the special proprietary Scanreader copy from a friend. I'm just wondering besides speed, are there any innate hardware advantages to using the S1500M? If not, then I might get the S300M for the portability factor. Anyone have any experiences with either of these scanners? Thanks, Alexander.

I just wanted to jump in here. I was debating between these two scanners as well. The thing is, I already own the s300 for PC. I recently switched to Mac and I've tried to mess with the drivers and seek help from others on getting this thing to work on the Mac. I'm also a small business owner and time is money. The more time I spend on trying to tweak it, the more revenue lost. Billable hours are important in my case.

This video will show you how to insert a landscape page into your thesis and how to place the page number in the correct portrait position. How to add page number to landscape page for thesis microsoft word mac. This tutorial will demonstrate using section breaks to isolate the landscape pages, unlinking the sections, and customizing one of the default page number options in Word. Headers and footers are the most common place used to insert and position page numbers and are controlled by linking and unlinking the header/footer area for each section. The Graduate College requires students, writing their thesis/dissertation, to orient the page numbers in the portrait position and to be consistent, on portrait and landscape pages, throughout the entire document.

And, I don't really want to always rely on VM running windows as I just really want to stay away from that as much as possible. I'm running quickbooks in it and I just hate going in there, but the quickbooks for Mac looks horrific (sorry off topic). Anyway, the s300 on my PC really does a great job and I have been able to slip it in a bag along with my netbook for on the go scanning. It really is a little work horse and the quality is amazing. I was just not wanting to have to rely entirely on VM or evernote to sync up scans on my PC, so to save time I wanted to purchase the Mac equivalent. I plan on keeping the PC and just using it in a satellite office for occasional use and wanted to keep the s300. Otherwise I may just sell it or give it to a 'Windows colleague.'
