ScanSnap iX500
Generate Editable PDF Files
The ScanSnap iX500 is the scanner that intuitively guides you through every step of the scanning process, and lets you access your documents anywhere and anytime. Scan to and view across a range of popular cloud services, or wirelessly scan to your PC, Mac, iPad/iPhone, and Android devices. Scan your everyday documents, from business cards to A4 and even A3 paper. Once scanned, you can send the data to Word, Excel, e-mail, and SharePoint amongst others.
The ScanSnap iX500 comes bundled with searchable PDF creation software which enables users to move beyond merely 'seeing' and 'printing' generated data, to editing generated PDF files however they like. It generates password and digital ID attached PDF files that are ideal for safeguarding personal information and other confidential information that needs to be protected.
Wi-Fi or USB Connection to a PC or Smart Device
The iX500 comes with a built-in, dual-core 'GI' image processing engine that takes ScanSnap to the next performance level. It offers the paper feeding performance of expensive high-speed, high-volume devices, enhanced through USB 3.0 support, at a price that won't break your office budget. Or you can break free from USB and place the ScanSnap just about anywhere in the room with Wi-Fi connectivity to a PC or Mac. The iX500 now offers the unique ability to link directly with your iPad, iPhone, and Android devices via a Wi-Fi connection. Fitted with a newly-developed GI processing engine, the iX500 means that users can now wirelessly operate the scanner via their smart device and the ScanSnap Connect App to create high quality scanned images that can be saved to the device, manipulated and retrieved at a later date and distributed.

This can be turned into an excellent office network scanner for a fraction of the cost of a scanner designed as a network scanner. It will only pair wirelessly with one computer at a time, and pairing it to a different machine can be tedious and time consuming. We originally had this connected by Wi-Fi to our Mac mini server, on which we had the ScanSnap app installed. Anyone in the office could take the scanner to his or her desk and scan and save documents to the server by using Acrobat Reader on the server.
After a while, I did not want the server used as a workstation so regularly, and I wanted to stop accessing things like USB label and postage printers by hogging up USB ports on the server and sharing them out. So I bought a used 2012 Mac mini to use as a secondary server for the iX500 connected wirelessly and all of the USB only printing devices plugged into this secondary server with a hub and shared out over the network. This secondary server, like the primary server, runs headless, so the footprint is simply that of a Mac mini.
Now, to scan, we screen share from any iMac or MacBook Pro into the secondary server to run the ScanSnap app, and save the files to server as a network drive connected to the secondary server. The secondary server has only the ScanSnap app, Acrobat Reader, and an old version of MS Word installed on it. So, if we ever need more iX500s, I will simply partition the secondary server's drive and install more ScanSnap, MS Word, and Acrobat Reader apps on separate partitions to allow multiple users to simultaneously use separate iX500s wirelessly and to save scanned files to the primary server.
As I said in my original review, the iX500 provides fast, accurate, scanning. Both sides of the sheet are scanned simultaneously, vastly improving speed over typical duplex capable sheet feeders on flatbed scanners. The app has an easy to use interface with many options for naming and saving scanned documents to any network drive as .doc(x) or .pdf file formats under Mac OSX. The ScanSnap app works with a bundled copy of the Abbey Fine Reader OCR app, adequate for saving scans as doc(x) or rtf formatted files. The extremely small footprint allows it to fit into a very small spot on any desk in the office. It also comes bundled with a copy of Acrobat Standard for Windows. Not really sure why not a Mac version also.
A heavy Mylar letter size jacket for scanning small documents such as checks, and receipts comes with the iX500. We have never used it because the iX500 handles documents as small as wallet-sized checks because the paper guides on the intake chute move in to about 3 inches. Paper jambs are rare and a non-issue, since the feed path is completely straight and opens up completely at the push of one button to remove internal paper jambs without losing the pages already scanned, which simply wait in a temporary file for more pages. The feeder holds 50 sheets, and if it runs out, you can add additional sheets to the same file as with a paper jamb. This versatile and extremely flexible paper-handling ability make a flatbed scanner unnecessary for anything but photo scanning. Since most photos are already electronic by the time they are used as or in documents, at least in a law office, that has simply not been an issue since we acquired this scanner in February, 2014.
The small footprint and available case make it an excellent portable for off-sight use. Progressively falling prices make it a no-brainer and must have. The falling prices may also indicate that this scanner will be replaced shortly, most likely with a more expensive model, so now might be a good time to get one or more.
I bought an earlier version of this scanner, the Mac-only ScanSnap S1500M, on the recommendation of a colleague who had the Windows version of that scanner to use at home to replace a different big, bulky, flatbed scanner with sheet feeder after it failed and turned into an expensive doorstop several days after the warranty expired.
I bought this one for my office after a much bulkier and temperamental HP flatbed/sheet feeder also died several days after the warranty expired because I was extremely satisfied with the S1500M.
We also have a custom-fit leather case, which Fujitsu sells for about $30 for travel. Well worth having if you are going to take it out of the office. The iX500 is sturdy, but it is still plastic, so the protection of a case is a good idea.
Wearable rubber rollers are cheap and available from Fujitsu. Telephone support is excellent, a big plus because the wireless pairing procedure can be a little complex until you get used to it, or after you forget how to do it, because it is not particularly intuitive.
This is simply the most reliable, flexible, accurate, easy to use scanner I have ever owned or used. Anything that will not go through the sheet feeder can be copied to a sheet of paper on a copier. I cannot recommend it highly enough. It probably deserves a design award.
**Effortless Scanning**: Let's start with the basics. Scanning can be a tedious task, but not with the ScanSnap iX500. It's blazing fast and effortlessly scans both sides of a document simultaneously. The time it saves is incredible, and I can't imagine going back to a slower scanner.
**Wireless Wonder**: This scanner has cut the cords and gone wireless. I can place it anywhere in my home office without worrying about tangled cables. Plus, I can scan directly to my computer, smartphone, or even cloud services like Google Drive and Dropbox. It's like having a personal scanning assistant right at my fingertips.
**Sleek and Compact**: The design is sleek and modern, which fits perfectly on my desk without taking up too much space. It's like a piece of tech art that adds a touch of elegance to my workspace. Who knew a scanner could be so stylish?
**One-Button Magic**: I love how easy it is to use. With just one button, I can scan, convert, and organize documents effortlessly. It's as simple as loading the paper and pressing a button. The intuitive interface is a breath of fresh air.
**OCR Magic**: The OCR (Optical Character Recognition) feature is a game-changer. It not only scans documents but also converts them into searchable PDFs. Now, I can find any document I need in seconds, which has been a massive time-saver.
**Paperless Paradise**: The ScanSnap iX500 has taken me closer to a paperless life. It's perfect for organizing receipts, business cards, contracts, and everything in between. I can access my documents from anywhere, and there's no need for physical storage.
Now, I understand that some folks might be wondering why I'm so excited about a scanner. Well, this isn't just any scanner; it's a productivity powerhouse. It's transformed how I manage paperwork, saving me time, space, and hassle.
In conclusion, if you're someone who deals with documents, whether for work or personal use, the Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 Image Scanner is a game-changer. It's about making your life simpler, more organized, and more efficient. Trust me; once you have it, you won't know how you ever managed without it.
