How to use Windows PC Fujitsu ScanSnap Scanner on the Mac

Fujitsu does not list MAC OS drivers for the Scansnap S510 on their English language website (maybe because they have a MAC version of the Scansnap S510, the Scansnap S510M). They do however list the MAC OS drivers for the Scansnap S510 on the Japanese language site, but as you may expect, the program is also in Japanese. The directions that follow are to get the Scansnap S510 working under MAC OS and in English language.

1. Download the Scansnap Manager software for the S510M (ScanSnap_V22L11.dmg, which you can find here http://www.fujitsu.com/global/support/computing/peripheral/scanners/drivers/mac.html) and install

2. Use Finder to locate the Scansnap Manager.app file -> right click or apple click it and select "Show Package Contents" -> double click to open the Contents folder -> double click to open the Resources folder

3. Copy the English.lproj folder to the desktop

4. Open the Applications folder and drag the Scansnap folder to the trash, then empty the trash

5. Now that we have the English Language folder for the Scansnap Manager software, we can go ahead and install the Japanese Snansnap Manager for the S510 under MAC OS, so open the Japanese site here http://scansnap.fujitsu.com/jp/downloads/mac.html and scroll down until you find the ScanSnap Manager for Mac section. Find the correct MAC OS version and download the corresponding ScanSnap_V21L20.dmg file

6. Install Scansnap Manager from the newly downloaded file from the Japanese site (if you have an error saying that the software cannot be installed, make sure you have uninstalled/trashed the previous S10M version, making sure you have emptied the trash, maybe restart your MAC after uninstall/trash)

7. Once the software is installed you should be able to use your Scansnap S10 without problem (except that the Scansnap Manager program is in Japanese)

8. Copy the English.Iproj folder from your desktop into the Resources folder (follow the direction on how to get there in step 2)

9. Quit the Scansnap Manager

10. Start Scansnap Manager and the program should now run in English
