ScanSnap iX1600 Wireless or USB High-Speed Cloud Enabled Document, Photo & Receipt Scanner with Large Touchscreen and Auto Document Feeder for Mac or PC, 17 watts, Black

I was really surprised at all the high praise this machine got, so I ordered it. No disappointment here! It was up and running so fast and easily connected via Bluetooth! Amazingly excellent instructions! Incredibly intuitive! Works like a charm! I haven't been this happy with a new electronic device for 30 years! Both mechanically and electronically, works the way it should! Scans receipts, documents and photos equally well. Color quality of photos way better than my previous scanner. When done, it folds up into a tiny footprint on your desk. Wow! WOW! WOW!!!

I have 2 HP Printers that have flatbed scanners. While useful for the occasional scanning, they are cumbersome, time consuming and not enjoyable to use for scanning years of photos and plenty of multiple documents.For years, my husband has wanted a photo scanner to digitize our hundreds and hundreds of photos.First, I purchased theScanSnap iX1300 Compact Wireless Scanner. Set it up, then realized that my husband's discomfort with tech would not make a good match with this model. It had a good price, only I knew that there was a considerable more expensive model that would suit his elder eyes and clunky fingers better. Hence, the ScanSnap iX1300 Compact Wireless or USB Double-Sided Color Document, Photo & Receipt Scanner with Auto Document Feeder and Manual Feeder was returned and theScanSnap iX1600 Photo and Document Scanner was ordered and came to live with us.IT IS A GREAT MACHINE AND WELL WORTH THE ADDITIONAL DOLLARS!The Large Touchscreen in an EXCELLENT, simple, so easy to use, Superior Feature.Jim just presses the button and the scanner scans both sides of the photo, document, receipt in about the time it takes for him to blink! Then he, using the laptop, he names the item and saves it to the appropriate folder.It is incredibly EASY!SUPERFAST!Very Good Quality results.Yes, it was lots more money than I had planned to spend.And the stress that it relieves...And the ease of use...The amount of photos it can handle in one batch...THE SPEED!WOW!!!!!This was a GREAT PURCHASE!I highly recommend it!

Works as advertised. Small in dimension, so easy to locate on the credenza; fast-feeding and no jams so far. Easy to install and use; good imaging and clear scans. So far, so good.

If I could give this scanner 6 stars I would. I have experience with Fujitsu scanners. Our company has had two humble ScanSnap S1500s in service for over a decade, each having scanned 50,000+ documents on all original parts (and still going). We also experimented with a Fujitsu N7100 network scanner (I think we paid $1700 for that scanner new). I like this scanner better than all of them.First of all, the old S1500s only worked with ScanSnap Manager and the older Fujitsu software. This one works with both the old software and their flagship ScanSnap Home software. I honestly thought I'd hate the new software and was planning to just use ScanSnap Manager again. I begrudgingly gave ScanSnap Home a chance and I must say, it's substantially better. First of all, the older software was made up of multiple parts that all had to work together. ScanSnap Home has one clean interface that acts as a document manager, a scanner config, and so on.The flexibility is where this thing really shines. At first glance the touchscreen appears to be laid out how they think you'll want it. In reality you can customize every button, change it's icon, change it's action, etc You can have ScanSnap Home manage the docs or have it scan elsewhere and not even show the document in ScanSnap Home. I have my scanner setup here at home in a dual role. I use the default ScanSnap Home button to scan to my local NAS (as a directory on my computer, not direct [more on that later]) . I have other buttons that scan to various OneDrive locations that sync with SharePoint. For those documents it just scans direct, and I don't have it showing on my computer. Everything just works perfectly.Setup was a breeze. I initially set it up with a USB cable then decided to put it on the Wifi just for fun. I figured I'd setup the mobile app but never got around to it. Then one day the USB cable was unplugged and I went to scan something, not even thinking about it, and it just worked. My computer found the scanner over the network without any additional configuration. Even over Wifi and uploading to either my NAS or OneDrive scanning is pretty much instant. I've scanned 50 page documents and after the last page went through it was fully OCR'd and available to open within about a second.Here's the only downsides (which I didn't dock points for because this is not an expensive scanner by comparison). Although you can (with a firmware update) scan direct to a network share without the use of a computer the scanner doesn't perform any OCR on it's own. Our expensive N7100 could perform OCR on it's own but honestly it was slower. To really leverage this scanner's true capabilities, you should use it with a computer. The ScanSnap Home software is able to perform OCR on the incoming documents faster than anything I've ever used. On that note, you do have to check a box in the settings for the PDF files to actually have it save the PDF as searchable.My suggestion for when you get it is to bypass the manual altogether and just dive in. Pretty much everything is self-explanatory. If you go to Settings / Scan Settings in ScanSnap Home you'll be pretty much good to go.
