ScanSnap S1500 won't scan?

The ScanSnap S1500 is not detected, the scan software fails to start, or scanning stopped after a Windows update - and digging for the right driver package for your exact Windows version by hand is where most people get stuck. A free scan does the matching for you.

Does any of this sound familiar?

Scanner not detected

Windows or the scan application does not see the ScanSnap S1500, even though it is connected and powered on.

Broke after upgrading Windows

The ScanSnap S1500 scanned fine on the previous Windows version; after the upgrade it stopped.

The old software won't install

The original package for this model predates your Windows version and fails during installation or won't start.

Scans stop halfway or come out blank

A mismatched driver is a frequent cause of interrupted or empty scans.

A free scan can identify the installed hardware and show available driver information.

Prefer to try fixing it manually?

These are the standard Windows checks - they take a few minutes and sometimes do the trick:

  1. Power-cycle and reconnect. Turn the scanner off and on, reseat the USB cable, restart the PC.
  2. Remove and re-add the scanner. Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners - delete the scanner, then add it again so Windows redetects it.
  3. Update the driver in Device Manager. Press Win+X, open Device Manager, expand Imaging devices, right-click the scanner and choose Update driver > Search automatically.
  4. Prints fine, won't scan? On a multifunction printer the scanner half has its own driver - reinstall the manufacturer's full software package, not the print-only one.

The weak spot of the manual route: at the "Update driver" step Windows searches only its own catalog, which is often missing or outdated for the exact model - it can report that the best driver is already installed even when a newer one exists. The free scan checks your devices against a database of 1,000,000+ drivers, so one pass shows whether better versions are available.
