Fujitsu ScanSnap S510 drivers for Mac

Alford, this solution did not saved my day, but my year !!! After fighting several hours trying to install and reinstall ScanSnap manager files and updates I stumbled on your solution and YES 🙂 it worked. Eternally gratefull, Max

New Airbook 10.8.2

I thought this was going to work for me also but alas after waking from sleep I still get the blinking blue light.

This is on a 2007 Mac pro 1.1 with Lion 10.7.5.

It will work after a reboot but this is not much better than having to boot snow leopard where it still works fine.

I do get tired of company's that sell you stuff, especially a $400 scanner but won't keep up the drivers.

Such is life

Just to let you know this also works for my old S500M.

I had been working happily with my unsupported scansnap software until the last IOS update, then crash!! No longer working and no support.

Thank you Alford. You have saved me £350 for a new scanner.

It does seem a pity that Fujitsu should be so shortsighted with loyal customers. I would have been happy if they told me that I was not supported but that the S1500 software should work. Great hardware and terrific performance allied with a long view for their customers is the best advert that they could have. Short sighted to make a few extra bucks and lose user satisfaction.

Thanks Alford

Worked for me also.

I have a Mac Pro Retina - just recently purchased

Had difficulty getting S510 working before your post

Fujitsu are not on the ball re driver updates and support advice

You did well to identify the solution

Hi from France everybody.

Idem for me.

I have a 2010 Mac book air just updated with OSX.8.

My scansnap 500M worked well with 10.6 but no more with 10.8

I tought i should by a "new" scan 510 m.

But my old 500 M works well with the 1500 M driver uploaded for 10.8

🙂

Thank you! Merci! Gracias! Excellent, simple instructions. (Tried vainly before to get this working and did not feel right dropping down hundreds for a new scanner). Works beautifully and we're now humming along scanning in Mountain Lion with a ScanSnap s500. 🙂

Your post re: how to use ScanSnap S510 with OS 10.8 was very helpful. I have a Macbook Pro which orginally came with 10.7 and I had upgraded it to 10.8.

I was also under the impression that I will have to dump my Scanner, which otherwise is an excellent piece.

Thank you for the post

My thanks as many of the above for your guidance. Now have my S510 running on my macBook. I do have one question. On SS manager on the PC, had option to set documents face up or face down. Can't find this particular setting in SS manager for Mac. Any clues, please.

Alford you are AWESOME! Thank you thank you.

We had the S510 scanner sitting in our office "dead" and you've saved it.

I installed the ones you're "supposed" to from the Fujitsu sight and no luck

You've saved the day!

Much gratitude from a user 3 years after your wonderful service of posting this tip!

I was gifted an S510 (not the "M" model) by a friend and would like to get it running on Mac OS X Mavericks v.10.9.3. I tried your workaround for 10.8.2, but the installer app informed me that it could not be installed on "this computer". I understand that Fujitsu no longer supports this "older" model, but I was told it is still in good working condition. Any idea if there is a Mavericks compatible driver available anywhere???

Alford, Yes you are awesome. Yosemite likes your suggestion also.

I have an S510M Fujitsu Scanner that worked well in Snow Leopard. A few days ago made the plunge for upgrade to Yosemite 10.10 and I decided to give your instruction a shot and thankfully the scanner is working fine

once more.

Thanks a million,

Elisabeth

Just a big THANK YOU... because I just got a new Mac with Yosemite pre-installed and I couldn't find the driver on Fujitsu's site.

Come to think of it, I used your advice over a year or so ago when I installed it on my Mavericks system, but neglected to thank you or even acknowledge that it worked in Mavericks.

So, for the record. I installed this on a new Mac running Yosemite and it works perfectly. So thanks again!

With a fresh install of Yosemite (10.10.1), I installed the two files in the original post, made some profile changes that I usually prefer re: scanning to a folder and everything worked perfectly. I'm using the S510.

Thank you, thank you. This saved my Fujistu scanner from oblivion (or at least an awkward VM solution). Odd that the Fujitsu site listed other "compatible" drivers that were not.
