Jim,Annoying for sure. However, Pages does readily read/convert Word documents. So simply save your scan as a .doc or .docx and ask Pages to open the Existing Document. Once open you can edit as needed and save it as a Pages document if you want. Hope this is helpful.T

It is problematic on a Mac - Mac OSX 10.6 - quite a struggle for me to get it to work. Have not yet set up fax.One mountain at a time. It is somewhat "gelded" from the Windows features. Not all are available to the Mac user. Sure wish Canon would just come out and clearly (and up front) explain that. Buyer beware is still a caveat to to remember.Scanning one sided page at the breakneck speed of about 35 seconds per page. Slow as molasses on a winter's day. Each page was skewed. The "grabber" must not be in sync.Less and less pleased with this unit. It is problematic on a Mac - Mac OSX 10.6 - quite a struggle for me to get it to work.

Yes, it works fine with a Mac. I purchased one about a year ago. A bit of fiddling with adjustments and I've been getting very good scans.

I don't have an answer to your question. I have a Mac not android. As for the actual usage, it serves the purpose. Though it takes some practices in handling the pen in its angle while scanning.

I know they don't officially support Macs but if i plugged it in using the usb cable would it recognize it or no. It's kind of a deal breaker for me so i was wondering if anyone had any info.Thanks!

FYI, the Strobe 500 does NOT natively support Mac OS. I would go out on a limb and say it's borderline false advertisement. There are NO drivers for this scanner on the Mac side.What they did is bundle in a 14-day trial of some third-party software that has its own connector to the Strobe. Unfortunately, with the price of the Strobe 500 + the price of this software, you might as well get the S1500 which at least has out-of-the-box direct support for the Mac without spending more money.

On a Mac scanning actually is in the printer driver itself. You have to go hunting for it in System Preferences (in OS X Mountain Lion) under the Print and Scan preference. There, once you look at the preferences for the Brother MFC-J435W printer you will see that there is both a print and a scan section to the preference pane. If you click on the word scan (at the top next to print) a button appears in the preference window that says Open Scanner. Clicking there opens a scanner window with pretty basic functionality, but at least it does do both black and white was well as color scans.

The guides only reference Windows. It may work with a Mac, but I don't know if you'll be able to use the scanner or fax machine through the Mac. Canon's site may have alternate software for Mac users. Good luck.

Does everything work on a Mac? Scanning and faxing? Sounds like a great machine but a lot of folks seem to have concerns about Macs

I believe there's a separate model for Macs. Try a search here for: scansnap mac

I am using the latest Mac OSX operating system and I am able to scan wirelessly. I have the epson connected directly to my router and my computer is on the wireless network. Hope this helps!

I have a MacBook and I've found that in order for it to scan, you have to open the Printer/Scanner on the computer, click on the tab for the Scanner function, and then select "Scan." It's also from here that you can change all of the settings, such as resolution, color, scan size, etc. I've never been able to select the "Scan" function from the unit itself for it to scan directly to one of our computers, but I also haven't researched it at all after I discovered how to do it from the computer itself. Hope that helps.

Sorry, I don't know much about the Mac. I've never owned one, nor ever used one. I can't imagine that it would not, though. I'd check and see if Fujitsu and/or Apple has a driver and software for it. Wish you well and hope it will work for you. This is really an awesome scanner.

Yes it does work with a Mac. I've never tried scanning into a Google doc, but any other software I've used I have been able to scan into - including Evernote, Word, and email. Hope this helps!

I haven't hooked it up to a printer, scanner or combo.. but would think any modern one that is Mac compatible would work. It also has to be compatible with your system software which should be Mountain Lion. If you find a printer or scanner you like just contact the company for compatibility. :)

Hi Karen, I purchased this scanner in error thinking it would work on both Mac and PC but not the case works only on PC, I did try the unit on my PC and works fine. But to your questions, yes you can scan business cards as to scanning to Excel you can scanne and save a document to any folder and you should be able to change the tag to "xlsx" to be used in Excel however I have not tried that. Good luck Phil
