Fujitsu ScanSnap S510 drivers for Mac

I just want to share this tip as I nearby dumped my ScanSnap S510 because it is not officially supported by Fujitsu for Mac computers / OS X. After a bit of research I found that the drivers and software for another ScanSnap model (S1500M) also work for S510 connected to a Mac. I use a current generation (2012 late model) updated with OS X 10.8.2. After downloading and installing the following two files, it works well with no error code after scanning. The files are:

File description	Version	Remarks
ScanSnap Manager for Mac	V3.2L31	Install this first
ScanSnap Manager for Mac (update)	V3.2L60 (July 2, 2012)	Then this
General info about the drivers and software	Fujitsu's corporate web site

Good luck.

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!

You are welcome CouponPages.

I am grateful also that the machine still runs strong without a squeak and that after the OS update to Yose it is functional.

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.

Thank you!

I can also confirm that the earlier Windows model, Fujitsu s500 scanner (dated 2006!) also works with this app under OSX Yosemite.

Greatly appreciate being able to use this excellent scanner again!

Alford7,

You don't know how helpful your comment was!. I've been trying for years to connect to Scansnap s510 to Mac and been unable to do so. Until now, I could only use it with the Windows version in Parallels.

Many, many thanks.

Would like to add another data point to this thread. Working on a brand new MacBook Pro with 10.10.3. Installed "ScanSnap Manager for Mac (V3.2L31) Setup Program" from http://www.fujitsu.com/global/support/products/computing/peripheral/scanners/sca nsnap/software/s1500m-setup.html

The ScanSnap S510 worked immediately after the install. Have done extensive testing but scanning to a folder and attaching to an email both worked. Note that I'm working with an S510 not an S510M.
