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.

ScanSnap Folder for Flexible Operation

Does your Windows application have an import or browse command? If so you can now easily scan directly to this application even when no scanning interface is available assuming it supports .pdf or .jpg. Simply browse to the new 'ScanSnap Folder' within your local computer, hit the blue scan button and your document will then be automatically imported into your application and then deleted from 'ScanSnap Folder'.

    Photos scan darker than they should, but it is fast and easy to scan lots of photos quickly
    4 Stars
    Photos scan darker than they should, but it is fast and easy to scan lots of photos quickly
    I've only been using it for the past month but it seems to do well. However, the downside is that color photo scans come out a little darker than they should. I have looked to see if there was a brightness or scale adjuster for color scans, but I can't seem to find one (only for black and white). If they had some software that could help adjust the scan colors or brightness it would be perfect. I should note that the scan quality is still better than my really old (more than 12 year old) flatbed. Comparison pictures of the old flatbed (first picture) to the ScanSnap (second picture) provided, the original photo is still higher detail and color. I have not yet been able to compare it to a newer mid-level flatbed, if I do I'll update the review.I got this to scan the thousands of photos my family has from before digital cameras. So speed and convenience was a priority over the highest quality of the scan. With a new flatbed they would look better, but it would take me years rather than days to scan them all. Again, I'm glad to have digital copies of the photos, but wish I could adjust the scan brightness / coloring a bit to make it even better. If someone knows how to do that let me know.Here are some tips to make scanning the photos easier and faster that I learned:- You can keep feeding the machine while it is going. So put in your initial stack of 30 or so photos that are the same dimension, press the scan button, then just keep adding more photos to the feeder tray on top before it reaches the last one. Doing it this way I was able to go through a massive pile of photos as fast as the machine could scan rather than stop every batch of 30 or so. Just be sure to clear the exit tray every now and then so they don't get too bunched up at the bottom.- It will save you a lot of time if you make sure that the photos are all oriented the same way. This way after the scan you won't have to rotate some photos to the right and some to the left. If you do it right, you should only have to quickly eye scan and select all photos that are on their sides and do a single one time rotate before placing them in their final destination.- I did see a little difference in detail of very fine details going from 300dpi to 600dpi on the photos (like small detail links in a gold necklace at close but not super close up), but I decided to just stick with 300dpi as the scan time is a lot faster and size of files smaller. It wasn't *that* big of a difference for me to warrant the extra size and scan time. But is useful to know for really important and precious photos. But then again... if they are super important, you might want to try a flatbed for those smaller batches.- Do some adjusting and definitely set the scan button through the software when doing photos. By default the machine will do two sided pdfs, but for photos you will want to set the blue scan button on front to do color, single sided, 300dpi, .jpg files, and output to a specific colder on the PC. That way you don't have to spend time changing the settings each batch and can just load the pictures and press the blue button to watch the magic happen.- Try and group photos of the same size together when scanning a batch. I had a lot of photos that were large and small in the same timeline. Some I was able to get the same width by rotating them as the smaller photos, so that worked out well and was easy to just right click in windows and 'rotate left'. The scanner will handle smaller photos mixed with larger ones in the tray, but you will always get best results due to the feeder if they are the same size (width) in the feeder- When scanning photos do them in batches of about 30 initially, if you do more than that, I find that the photos seem to stick together and so the first few can't actually be caught by the feeder rollers. After they start rolling however, you can add more to the tray all you want while it is going (see tip above on that). You just need to get the first few going with a smaller stack.
