A quick and easy way to scan document with Fujitsu ScanSnap iX1500

As scanning documents is not a daily activity for most people, many opt for all-in-one printers. They do the job but as they are designed to also be photocopiers, printers and, sometimes, a fax machine, they tend to be big and heavy. But if you’re looking for something that is powerful and lightweight that takes up less desk space, Fujitsu has the answer with its ScanSnap iX1500.

At 29.2 cm x 15.9 cm x 16.8 cm, the 3 kg ScanSnap iX1500 is not exactly portable but it is compact and offers a great experience for those who need to quickly scan documents.

The automatic document feeder chute can hold 50 sheets of paper and it scan up to 30 double-sided pages in a minute. The image quality can go as high as 600 ppi in colour and 1,200 ppi in monochrome. It also can handle a variety of page sizes from 2” x 2” (50.8 mm x 50.8 mm) to 11.5” by 17” (279.4 mm x431.8 mm) using a provided carrier sheet attachment.

And it’s very easy to use. You just install the free software onto your PC or phone and link it up with the ScanSnap. You then load the pages into the ScanSnap, and push the big “Scan” button on its touchscreen interface and it sends the scanned documents to your connected device or the cloud.

You can also set up shortcuts for four different profiles on the home screen for common scan jobs. So, for example, if you jump back and forth from scanning financial statements and photos of your cat looking dejected in reindeer antlers, you can set them up to save the files in different folders on different computers or a cloud server. Other profile settings include image quality, file compression rate, colour mode, rotation, whether it’s single- or double-sided paper and the file format to save in (jpg or pdf).

Overall, the Fujitsu ScanSnap iX1500 and a great addition to your home, work and wherever you choose to put it.
