1. It's a workhorse. We've been digitizing our entire paper archive of about 500 sheet PER DAY and this scanner has kept up.
2. It's a thoughtful device. When you scan as much as we do, little annoyances become a big deal. Whoever designed this thing thought through all those little annoyances and made most of them go away. I like how the unit recovers from jams and understands which pages to keep and which pages to toss. I like how the one-touch scan button understands when I want to begin a scan and resume a scan. That means I don't have to click over the PC software in order to recover. The unit really does auto-straighten, auto-contrast, auto-2-side, auto-1-side, auto-orientation. It's hard to screw up a scan. The scanning engine even knows how to look for ink/toner bleed through from one side of a page to the other and contrast it out. Wow!
3. Cleaning and care is pretty easy. After 500 pages, there's going to be a little debris in the scanner. The eject button and fold out top is designed well enough that it's easy to gently blow out particles and carefully clean the top and bottom scan heads. No special tools required. It's hard to go wrong here.
4. Scanning to searchable PDF works incredibly well. I'm very impressed. The OCR module does a pretty admirable job of scanning text and making it searchable in a PDF. This is the godsend feature we need. Pro tip: if you're on Windows and you want to use Windows Search to look for text in PDF you need to go download Adobe's PDF iFilter app and install it on every computer that needs to search the PDFs, not just the server or workstation where the PDFs reside. Installing the iFilter *should* turn on Windows Search settings to search the entire PDF and not just the file properties.
There are a couple of annoyances, however:
4. Software installation is clumsy and requires a bunch of updates. Whoever designed the installer/updater wasn't nearly as thoughtful as whoever designed the hardware. It takes a good 30 minutes of downloading and installing and updating to get the software online. Really, there's no excuse for it. Just package the updates into the latest installer and make it easy for those of us who are purchasing later rather than earlier.
5. The actual app software is also clumsy. The ONE THING this scanner needs to do right is to scan to searchable PDF. In order to do this, I had to turn off all the "quick button" features and change the app to scan to application: save to a folder. I pick the folder and now I don't deal with the software at all. I just put documents in the scanner, press the blue button and walk away.
6. Wi-fi setup is clunky and difficult thanks to the bad installer. Wi-fi should be one of the awesome features of this unit, but it's painful to setup because of the stupid software. Also, I had trouble keeping this unit connected to my UniFi mesh wi-fi network. Occasionally the UniFi changes the channel of a particular SSID and this throws off the scanner's wi-fi. I then have to go in to the software and setup wi-fi again. Repeat every time I make config changes to or restart the UniFi access points. Kind of a bummer.
All in all, this crazy little box has saved us so much time and frustration. The best part? I demo'd it before some scanning/archiving company tried to bid us $10,000 to do our scanning work for us and their demo system did far worse than this little scanner. They walked away in utter shame. I love doing that to crummy companies :)
I am a bit of a sentimental hoarder and have had as a project for awhile digitizing my kids' schoolwork. I first bought a NEAT scanner for this task before they started their cloud service, and once that happened I no longer wanted to use that scanner. The functionality was fine if you used the proprietary software for organizing things, but once they stopped supporting it to push people to use their cloud service I found the scanner substandard when scanning documents directly to PDFs (because you had to pick a file name each time you scanned a new group of documents). I had heard good reviews of the scansnap ix500, and with the piles of paper I needed to scan piling up I decided to try it out even though I didn't like the sound of it being a device that didn't support the TWAIN thing (background on me: I'm middle aged, so even though I don't work in IT I do consider myself reasonably savvy with electronics because I've spent most of my life having to use computers). In the interim I bought a new cheap printer at Costco that also has scanning capability on the recommendation of a friend (EPSON Workforce WF-3640) and I felt the printer was doing a decent job (despite the headaches of setting it up) and almost returned the ScanSnap before I opened it.
I am SO glad I did not return the ScanSnap. When I set it up and started using it I was blown away. It is faster than the printer scanning at 50 dpi resolution, the resolution of the PDF files is excellent, and it duplex scans at a speed that is similar to what is advertised (I haven't clocked it but I scan stacks of 50 sheets of paper each and it doesn't take longer than 70 seconds in my estimation). The software bundle is adequate for what I want (saving to a local external hard drive), though it has options for scanning to email, Google Drive, etc., and given how the rest of the thing has performed I feel confident that that would work well too. The only issue I have had with the scanner is that it is supposed to be able to scan wirelessly to a computer, and I have been unsuccessful doing this despite correct setup with the directions included. For some reason the software recommends having the scanner connected via USB cable when setting up the wireless, and everything appeared fine and working after the wireless setup was done with the cable connected, but as soon as I unplugged the scanner and moved it to the location where I want it to be the software was able to detect the scanner but was saying that it does not support wireless functioning. I cleared a spot off on my computer desk for it and once I saw how awesome a job it was doing I didn't care so much about the wireless not working.
So in summary it's an excellent scanner for scanning basic documents. It scans very fast, even when duplex scanning, with excellent resolution. I was unable to get the wireless to work, but it was well worth the effort to clear a spot off on my computer table for it because once it was in action I was very happy with it!
Top reviews from other countries
It scans as if you are applying butter to your bread. smooth and fast with one stroke.
The only thing missing is the scanning of continuous stationery papers and papers larger than A4 and legal size. It has an option to scan large papers but that's time consuming process
It resolves the purpose for which i have purchased it
