Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500 Scanning Quality and Performance Businesses or educators, who scan hundreds of pages a week or more, can save some time with this quick scanner. The Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500 isn’t intended for someone with modest to light scanning needs thanks to the $499 price ( or $420 at Newegg). The program comes with a decent collection of software to help the user get work done.

Fujitsu also offers ScanSnap Cloud, which means a user can scan directly to the Internet without even going through a computer or mobile device. It also uploads to mobile devices thanks to mobile apps available in the iPhone App Store or Google Play Store. The scanner sends scanned content to Mac or PC over USB or Wi-Fi. You’ll have to turn the page over in the Carrier Sheet if it’s double-sided. It also recognizes the Carrier Sheet is in use and turns the scans into a single-sided 11 x 17 document. Place the 11 x 17 inch document in the Carrier Sheet and then fold it in half so that it fits into the 8.5-inch scanning tray.

However, it has a way to scan 11 x 17 inch pages using the enclosed Carrier Sheet. The largest document the scanner can handle is an 8.5×14.17 inches. The document sheet feeder handles up to 50 sheets, double-sided. Use it to quickly scan documents from business cards on up to full size paper. The Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500 ($499) works with both Mac and PC as well as integrating with mobile devices running iOS or Android. When someone needs a digital copy of a paper document and they’re on their way out the door, they can drop it in the feeder, scan and go in under a minute. They designed the ecosystem for people who work in an office with heavy scanning needs, but also made it light enough for a quick scan to your phone or tablet. The Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500 fits that need perfectly, but it doesn’t come cheap.įujitsu understands that the mobile device world needs productivity. However, plenty of people still need a high-quality scanner to handle hundreds if not thousands of receipts, cards, documents and even books. A dedicated scanner like the Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500 seems like a product whose day has passed now that so many of us use our phones for scanning receipts and a document or two.
