I just fixed it. Uninstall the application by choosing applications and finding scansnap. Drag the folder to the trash. power down your scanner and unplug the USB. Go to the Fujitsu website and download the software again and reinstall it. Plug in the power and USB into your scanner and everything should work fine.

Hello,
I also had this issue. I was running an older version of Scansnap Manager.
I installed the latest update Version 2.2 (January 2011) and it works fine now.
Here is the link to the Upgrades.

Hi,

Try to scan by using the quick menu as I described below:
Check for the ScanSnap Manager icon on the taskbar.

Right click the mouse button over that ScanSnap Manager icon.
Select “Scan Button Settings” from the Right-Click Menu.


Select the “Use Quick Menu” check box (it must be checked).


Load the document in the ScanSnap which you want to scan.
Pres the “scan” button on the ScanSnap.
Click the “Scan to folder” icon in the quick menu when scanning is completed.


The “Scan to Folder” dialog box appears.


Check the scanned image in the “Scan to Folder” dialog box.
By clicking save buton, save the scanned data in a specified folder which you select chancing the filename as you want.
Hope this helps.

   1. Reboot is NOT required after each update pack.
3. Reboot the PC after all three update packs installed completely.

All you need to do is set up Profiles for scanning. I made a short video tutorial you can view here: ScanSnap Profiles – Scanning to Folder in Snow Leopard

I got off the phone with Fujitsu and i was told you need to make sure that the ScanSnap Icon is in the system tray without a Red Line cross through it, so if it is not in your system tray start the snap scan program, if it's disabled re-enable it and you should be good.

Bypass installation wizard and just run the setup.exe file for ScanSnap Manager. Installation wizard is bugged.

not download just tell me serial number.

There should not be any problem installing that sofware on that OS and version. My guess is you have a botched (corrupted) install. Try uninstalling if you can otherwise let me know and we'll "clean out the registry." Good luck!
