Fujitsu ScanSnap iX1500 Color Duplex Document Scanner with Touch Screen for Mac or PC, Black (2018 Release)

I have spent a lot of money on different brands of scanners, including other models made by Fujitsu. I started scanning several years ago using a Neat Scanner and I thought at the time that it was the cream of the crop. I used the Neat Scanner for several years until I moved to a new manufacturing plant, in which I decided to try a Fujitsu iX500. This scanner was way better than the Neat Scanner and had parts that were replaceable, which I enjoyed. When I moved manufacturing plants again, I went to buy another iX500, but they were unfortunately discontinued. I was a bit apprehensive with purchasing the iX1500, but decided to take my chances. It works so great that I decided to buy a personal one for my house. The only downside is that the iX1500 is touch screen. I haven't had any issues because of the touch screen, but I did like the push buttons of the iX500. If given the chance, I would purchase a iX500 over an iX1500, but I would never go back to a Neat Scanner.If you have a lot of documents to scan for work or home, I would recommend getting one of these. It can definitely help clean up the clutter.

This machine is perfect. I am a small business owner, and talk about a MANDATORY tool. I bought the S1300 first, way too slow for my needs. You can stick 40 sheets of paper in this thing and it zips through them flawlessly. We have rid ourselves of 5 huge file cabinets and went completely digital storing on the hard drive and backed up to Google Drive with a SSD hard drive back up as well. Soooo much easier to find files this way. These are just perks of this machine. I have fought envelopes of receipts for years. They never seem to go away and have of them get lost. This thing will scan 3-5 receipts at a time FAST and on receipt function it saves it with the vendor and the date. We have a file for each employee saved with the month and year. Talk about a life saver. The final thing I will say is about the display on the scanner, very nice feature so you don’t have to get into the computer to go from files to receipts etc. This thing has paid for itself as far as I am concerned and allowed us to get so much more simplified.

I manage a surgical practice, and we needed to convert many years worth of paper patient charts to digital medical records for long term storage. We bought this scanner on recommendation from another physician's office who had done the same thing. So glad we did! This little machine is a speedy workhorse! It is lightning fast, detects and notifies of any errors (not many because it is so efficient), allows for reorganization and reorientation of pages, and so much more. We budgeted a month's time to get through the first batch of records and finished in ten days! My staff is happy to have such great equipment for a fairly boring task, and this machine has even made it fun. It has a very small footprint and doesn't take up much room at all. We highly recommend it to anyone who has large scanning jobs to do or is just simply pressed for time. Excellent product.

Out of the box, I was puzzled how to best use the scanner for my intended purpose;. I wanted to be able to scan a document and then specify where on my computer to store that document, and give it a name that would help in recovery. I didn't want to use the provided software most of the time. Turns out there's a YouTube "how to" video for that specific issue that helped me to set up a profile that does exactly what I wanted. Since then I've scanned some 200 documents without issue. Once in a while the scanner will miss orient a scanned page, or will read-through a blank page to scan a reverse image of the data on the backside of that blank page; those issues are easy to fix with Acrobat DC, so they don't bother me. It fits my needs exactly!

I bought this ScanSnap scanner to replace an earlier S510 scanner that I had had for years. Like the first scanner, this one is a workhorse! Rare paper jams. Good selection of quality levels, where "Normal" produces clear images more than sufficient for document scanning. This new model is faster, holds a bit more paper, is quiet and efficient. Installation was a breeze and the scanner was set up within minutes. I just don't think that there are better scanners on the market, especially for home and home-office use, than those made by Fujitsu!
