Fujitsu (http://www.fujitsu.com) has announced new capabilities for sending scanned paperwork to the Apple iPad and iPhone, in addition to new functionality allowing users to upload scanned documents to a range of cloud-based services using its ScanSnap S1500, S1500M, S1300 and S1100.

With the launch of its first official app for both the iPad and iPhone -- ScanSnap Connect -- consumers have a way to send and store their scans to their mobile device, and organizations have a solution to assist with collaboration between colleagues and business partners. Furthermore, ScanSnap now enables users to scan documents directly to Salesforce Chatter and SugarSync, in addition to the scanner's cloud services support for Evernote and Google Docs.

The ScanSnap S1500, S1500M, S1300 and S1100 are all capable of supporting the new enhancements. Current users can update their existing software using the built-in online update feature accessible from the ScanSnap icon help menu that resides in the task tray or dock. Detailed instructions can also be found here: http://scanners.fcpa.fujitsu.com/ss_enhancements/ .

Additionally, ScanSnap Connect can be downloaded to the iPhone or iPad through the Apple App Store. Once updated, new "Scan-to" icons will appear on the Quick Menu.
