Effortlessly scan small documents with the Receipt Guide. No need to be concerned about fixing receipts and business cards that tend to curl or skew.

Allows you to preview, manage, tag, search and retrieve your important documents or memories. Never lose important documents again with ScanSnap Home.

ScanSnap Home combines all your favorite functions into one and is the ultimate platform to utilize scanned data in various ways. Easily manage, edit and utilize data from documents, business cards, receipts and photos with the software. You can scan large volumes of various types of documents from color photos to double-sided landscape documents with a host of intelligent automatic image processing functions.

Like the Raven Pro Max, another PCMag favorite that combines that company's Raven Pro sheetfed document scanner with a flatbed attachment, the fi-8270 teams Fujitsu's fi-8170 with a flatbed, as you can see in the image below. The combined devices measure 9.2 by 11.8 by 22.7 inches, and the unit weighs just over 19 pounds. The fi-8270 (left) replaces the fi-8170's output tray with a flatbed add-on that doubles as an output bed. Scan and share your files via the cloud with your team or family. Have your documents at hand wherever you are. As I've said more than once, OCR accuracy is at least as important as raw speed; the fastest scanner on the planet is worthless if you must spend too much time fixing conversion errors. The Fujitsu fi-8270 proved error-free down to 5 points in our Arial font test and 6 points with Times New Roman. That's superb—and these days, fairly average for professional-grade scanners. The software bundle includes Abbyy FineReader for optical character recognition (OCR) and Kofax Power PDF Standard for creating and editing PDFs.

ScanSnap Cloud delivers scanned data directly from your ScanSnap iX1500 to your favorite cloud services without a computer or mobile device. The software automatically classifies your file type by documents, receipts, business cards and photos, and sends it to the appropriate cloud based on your pre-set profiles. Control your paperwork and rapidly file your documents with ease using the intuitive ScanSnap Home software. The software allows you to scan to and produce editable and searchable pdf’s, Excel, Word and PowerPoint files. You simply need to select a profile that is set to connect to ScanSnap Cloud and press the Scan button on the iX1500's touch screen. Your scanned data can then be managed within your selected cloud service.

The ScanSnap iX1500 builds upon ScanSnap’s “One Button Simplicity”, taking efficiency to a new level. Even more intuitive usage achieved by simple operation At least two of the fi-8270's more direct competitors, the Raven Pro Max and the HP ScanJet N6600, come with Wi-Fi wireless and Wi-Fi Direct peer-to-peer networking, in addition to Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.2 connections. This Fujitsu supports only USB and Ethernet, offering little or no support for scanning from handheld smartphones or tablets. The Raven also has an auxiliary USB port for scanning to flash drives and other USB storage devices. Connectivity consists of Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.2. Scan your documents, receipts, business cards and pictures and let the software file each format - even suggesting file names. Save time searching for photos of the family or vital documents – find them with ScanSnap Home.

The ScanSnap Cloud mobile app provides direct access to scans placed in your cloud repositories. We could even use our iPad to take photos of documents and send them as PDFs directly to our Dropbox account.” We loaded ScanSnap Home on a second Windows 10 desktop and it spotted the scanner via its wireless connection. Profiles for all users are displayed on the scanner’s touchscreen so you’ll want to customise their names to show which host a scan will be sent to.”I tested the iX1600 (and all these others) over a USB connection from our standard Intel Core i5 PC running Windows 10 Professional.I also tested it using ScanSnap Home from the control panel and got basically the same performance. To ensure consistency, we try to test all machines the same way, so the scores reported here are for PC-initiated scans. As I said about the fi-8170 a few months ago, Fujitsu reps tell me the company's high-end business scanners are usually deployed within existing document-management environments and workflows, whose users often already have a software solution in place. If you're rolling out a new document-archiving system, however, the fi-8270's bundled PaperStream programs and utilities (and available add-ons) should have everything you need. Fujitsu's PaperStream Capture is a competent scanner interface, though for top-of-the-line document management you'll need a license for PaperStream Capture Pro. To round out my tests, I scanned several colorful business documents, drawings, and other graphics and photos on the flatbed, focusing not on speed but color accuracy and detail. Other than the unavoidable tedium of removing and replacing content on the scanner glass, the flatbed performed fine, reproducing colors accurately with no graininess or loss of detail. You can connect a single computer to the iX1600 via USB, or a computer, mobile device, or wireless network via Wi-Fi. Fujitsu’s ScanSnap Connect app runs on most smartphones and tablets and has many of the features of the ScanSnap desktop app. Designed for ultimate ease of use, the iX1500 transforms all the paper surrounding you with valuable information and adds more productivity to your lifestyle. Refined and aesthetic form

To activate cloud scanning, just create a free ScanSnap Cloud account and log all instances of ScanSnap Home into it. We then created a new profile to send scans directly our Dropbox account and all we had to do was load our documents and select this from the touchscreen.” Simply open the document chute and ScanSnap is ready to go. Scan single and double sided documents with ease at a speedy 30 sheets per minute *1. When choosing "Fast" startup *2, you can start scanning even faster. Those specs are similar to those of the Raven Pro Max. Another recent sheetfed/flatbed combo, the HP ScanJet Enterprise Flow N6600 fnw1, is much shorter and leaner, closer in size to lower-end models like Epson's DS-1630 and PCMag's Best of 2019 winner the Xerox Duplex Combo Scanner. The ScanSnap Home software makes capturing documents a breeze. Scan directly to your phone or laptop. Receipts, invoices, business cards and photos are automatically identified – ScanSnap Home even suggest a name and learns from you.Finally, PaperStream NX Manager is a built-in server solution designed to integrate centralized client-server document management systems easily. Share your critical documents with colleagues or share family memories with powerful free ScanSnap Home software. The Auto-Scan profile takes the leg work out of scanning. It detects whether they are standard documents, business cards, receipts or photos and automatically applies scan settings and organises them into separate folders on the host.”
