It's also quick; I scanned five documents in under two minutes. I'll close as I opened in 3 minutes, which includes making them PDFs and getting them ready for archiving, sending, and other uses. Wow, this scanner is incredible.

I bought my first one about 12 years ago, and it's still going strong after all these years. free. It has made it possible for me to live a paperless existence. free of all the miscellaneous documents we must deal with on a daily basis - Bank, financial, and insurance records, invoices, receipts, medical records, and authorizations are just a few examples. I kept waiting for my old one to die so I could replace it, but it just wouldn't die. I was finally able to get the iX1600 after it stopped feeding properly. This model appears to be just as well-built as the previous one, but it is noticeably faster. They're fantastic little workhorses for home and small business use. The only criticism I have is that they have a lot of scanning, document management, and OCR software to choose from, and their website makes it easier to find and select the right one. ScanSnap Home, the all-in-one scanner, is one of the most popular. one document management system, and ScanSnap Manager, which does the scanning using different profiles you set up, and works with separate apps for OCR and other ancillary functions like business card reading and management. It is up to you to create and manage your own document management system. Because I already had a working system and workflow in place, the latter is the best option for me. br>br>Before purchasing this iX1600 model, I purchased the previous iX1500 model. I had to return it because it froze after a firmware update and couldn't be fixed easily. That gave me the opportunity to try out their customer service, which I can now say is outstanding.
WTF? This scanner has excellent reviews, and I previously owned an older ScanSnap duplex ADF scanner model that was about 6-years old. That I adored seven years ago—what engineering. However, I've had this new ix1600 scanner for 24 hours and have spent 4 hours trying to connect it to my PC and install the software, and I'm completely surprised at how difficult they've made it. The instructions are incredibly perplexing, leading me in circles and leaving me unsure of how many programs I need to install and how many I need to remove. I need to get some exe files; A link to "manuals" leads to a page with software downloads that I've already visited. The scanner display appears to know its IP address and can locate and connect to my network, but it does not appear to be visible or addable to my PC. This is a god-like creature. a colossal disaster Is there any user testing that they've done? And I've worked in the software industry for 30 years, including writing user manuals and installing software. I'm not sure how I'm going to get out of this mess. Now is the time for me to take a break and drink something strong.
In the last 11 years, I've bought three ScanSnap scanners. These scanners appeal to me because of their small size, excellent quality, and ease of use. But, compared to previous generations, the ix1600 is the most significant upgrade. br>br>It scans at incredible speeds with little jamming and incredible intelligence (it detected a piece of paper that was thicker than the rest of the pages scanned and asked me to confirm that it didn't skip pages by scanning too many at once). br>br>I also like that I can share this scanner with multiple computers in my house, though the ScanSnap Home software could be a little easier to use with a Wi-Fi connection. The ix1600 is connected to the internet via Wi-Fi.
