I'm moving up in the world. For years I had a black and white scanner (that I was quite happy with... Until it died and I had to get a new one) and to be honest I didn't even know there were scanners in colour!

Great for businesses that regularly deal with hundreds of hard copy pages, but others could do better with an MFP or portable document scanner

(2 items) If your total experience with scanners is with the flatbed type that sits atop all-in-one printers, you may be excused for thinking scanners are not all that exciting. Given the slow, awkward, one-sheet-at-a-time way these devices perform, it's hard to imagine using them to convert a stack...

Super-fast scanner; Software settings offer complete control over scan quality and format; Customizable Quick Menu makes it easy to select a desired scanning task; Scanner-to-mobile-device scanning "cuts the cord" to the Mac; Combines all scan management into a single app; Offers unique features,...

Quick Menu only accessible immediately after a scan; Third-party software needed to effectively store and manage scans; Scanner slower and more likely to jam than ScanSnap; Software can be confusing; especially for basic tasks; NeatCloud requires a monthly fee

Like many people this time of year, I've been giving a lot of consideration to New Year's Resolutions. And, like many people this time of year, two things are at the top of my list: Getting better organized and losing weight. Believe it or not, Fujitsu's ScanSnap iX500 helped me do both.

Incredibly fast high resolution scans with virtually no jamming.

Bundled software is slightly clunky with non-standard dialogue windows and navigation

I have scanned more than 120,000 pages on my scanner. Rollers and "consumables" have to be replaced at 200,000. This scanner has worked well, with an occasional cleaning of the scan sensors and rollers needed. Handles just about everything I have thrown at it.

Fast; easy to use

Color pictures scan so-so; not a photograph quality scanner (but wasn't advertised as such either

It's easy to be passionate about some electronic products - tablets or smartphones, for instance. Scanners, though, are an altogether harder sell. With their mostly utilitarian looks and strong but unglamorous workloads, scanners may be relied upon by many, but it would seem strange for us to feel...

This printer is great for large companies that need to scan and print large quantities. It's best placed on a desktop as it is a sheet fed scanner and has to be plugged in to the mains and it has a USB3 port to connect it to a computer.

Fast; Clever and with nice features

Lack of formats available

It has made scanning and organising large quantities of documents so easy. The enclosed software is terrific for editing inserting and extracting of pages.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago. I wasted the better part of a day trying to set it up so I could use it for what I intended. The instructions refer to features that just don't seem to be there or don't work. I got it to scan directly to the cloud ONCE, but never again.

Each employee has these and they are the best personal scanners we've come across.
