Review: Terrific step up from older ScanSnap models! Great for Mac as well as PC users! - I have had a ScanSnap 1300 for many years. It was great when it worked, but paper feeding was hit-or-miss, often jamming with the paper going sideways or multiple sheets slipping through. The software for Mac was increasingly out of date, and it took a lot of search for work-arounds to keep it running. I finally bit the bullet and bought the ix1500. Wow! What an improvement! The paper feed is buttery smooth. The software is fully up to date. The ability to create custom scan profiles is terrific. For example, I created a custom photo profile that scans duplex rather than simplex, discards blank pages, uses "excellent" rather than "best" quality, and minimizes compression. The first two options captures writing that might be on the back of a photo but discards the back image if it is blank. The "excellent" quality is actually BETTER than "best" because it scans at 600 DPI rather than 300 DPI. The "minimal compression" option gives best JPEG quality while still being smaller than TIFF. Setting it up wirelessly was a snap, and for faster file transfer I simply plug it into my Macbook. There are only a few small issues I've discovered so far: - As noted, I had to discover that there is an "excellent" mode for 600dpi rather than the 300dpi "best" mode by trial and error - it is not documented (or at least not in an obvious place). - As far as I can tell, the unit is limited to 8-bit per color depth even in TIFF mode. Flatbed scanners go to 16-bit per color depth or even higher for TIFF. JPEG is limited to 8-bit, and I did not want the size of TIFF files, so this was not a deal-breaker. It could be a deal-breaker for someone doing serious archiving and wanting the highest color fidelity. - Wireless scanning fails if you are doing 600dpi "excellent" mode and have more than about 5 pages in the hopper: the scanner is too fast for the data to transfer to your laptop, and instead of pausing scanning, it just fails. I never had problems with wireless scanning at 300dpi "best" mode. - Other reviews have mention seeing streaks on the scans - particularly thin blue lines. This means that a speck of dirt is stuck to the glass scanner plates. Open the scanner and gently clean the class plates on both sides with a soft cloth and a 50% mixture of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol. Eyeglass cleaner works fine too, but I would not use a window cleaner like Windex that has a lot of other chemicals in it. Fujitsu sells a ScanSnap cleaner called "F1" that the reviews say these work well, but it is crazy expensive - $25 for an ounce. l. You use the same fluid for cleaning the various rollers in the unit. I have found it necessary to clean the unit pretty frequently, especially when scanning dusty old photos. The online documentation recommends cleaning the glass daily and the rollers every 1000 pages. This information should be made added to the the quick set up guide.
Review: Great little workhorse of a Scanner - I have one of the previous models of this scanner at my office, and I use it regularly to scan documents. When I started working from home several months ago, I went looking for that model of scanner to get one for my home. The model had changed, so I decided to take a chance on the new model since I love the one at my office so much. This one has not disappointed! The software is very easy to figure out, and I didn’t have any issue setting it up myself. It scans easily to my files, and is so quick and smooth. I really like that when I have a two sided document, it scans both sides in one pass, and it is easy to see the quality of the scan on my computer screen. Since I bought it myself and I’m using if for work a lot now, when I head back to the office to work I will enjoy using this scanner to digitize my personal paperwork. It will make it quick and easy to keep less paper. I did buy the extra warranty that desertcart sells, just in case I have any issues with it. So far, it’s a great little machine and I’m happy I bought it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific step up from older ScanSnap models! Great for Mac as well as PC users!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Far Better than IX500!
*by R***L on July 29, 2020*

First, let me say that this model is far better than the prior model some reviewers wish they still had! Although we had two of the IX500, the software was no less difficult to install and work with, so forget that: it’s a non-issue. This software not only has the same bundle, but now lets you scan directly to the cloud and does OCR on it, too. Learning the software, after dealing with the software on the 500, was simply one more step up—like moving from Windows 7 to Windows 10, sure you have to learn something new. The task is also far, far easier than it used to be because there are so many instructive videos out there. I watched maybe a half dozen and still refer to them when I hit a bump, but lets’ face it: getting more options—in fact far more—means there are more “forks in the road” than there were before. I also take task with the idea that this model is “flimsier” than the IX500, which still had plastic in the same areas. But in my opinion those parts are far easier to use and far less likely to break than they were before, and are far more functional. Otherwise, this little beauty is the same solid machine as the prior model. I was an R&D tech in development then became a designer and spent around 17 years doing that, and another 6 in the field installing, repairing (sometimes on-the-spot, jerry-rigged fixes) and still tear apart every new machine or tool I get for my workshop, fix it my way and reassemble it before using it, so I feel qualified to say that this is a very nice workhorse machine that will serve my legal work for years to come.
