Fujitsu ScanSnap iX100 Scanner

I admit that the main reason I accepted this evening invitation was to see the view from the top of The Shard, sadly the 34th floor was the highest we got but this amazing portable scanner made up for the disappointment initially felt.

Fujitsu Black ScanSnap iX100 Mobile Document Scanner FI-IX100

The Fujitsu ScanSnap iX100 portable scanner lets you leave you scan to a smartphone or tablet instead, making it easy to check scan quality on the move. also you can leave the laptop at home. Advantages: Portable. Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct. Scans with or without a computer.

With a few minor improvements this could have been the best portable scanner on the market.

I used the fujitsu scansnap for a couple of days now and I'm on the fence whether I should keep it or send it back. PROS: -Light weight. -Compact. -Fast scanning. -Relatively good scans, nothing compared to my Fujitsu Scansnap ix500, but it's ok for a portable scanner.

Bad Product

I had to return this product. The disc was corrupted and would not download. I then tried downloading the software from the internet three times and it never would install correctly (my computer is only a year old so I know the problem is on my end).

Fujitsu ScanSnap iX100 Review

The Fujitsu ScanSnap iX100 ($229) is one of the most impressive portable document scanners we've ever seen, though it's off the mark in small ways. On balance, however, the good points—from small size to OCR accuracy—far outweigh any problems, making the iX100 ($193.85 at Amazon)  our new favorite for portable scanning without a computer. Like the two scanners it replaces as Editors' Choice—the Visioneer Mobility ( at Amazon) and the Xerox Mobile Scanner —the iX100's strongest point is that it offers a good solution to the biggest problem with PC-free scanning.

The Fujitsu ScanSnap iX100 ($229) is a manual-feed portable document scanner designed for capturing data to your laptop, smartphone, or tablet on the road. The iX100 is an update to a 2014 Editors' Choice product by the same name that, at the time, was one of the most impressive portable document scanners we'd ever seen. While the ScanSnap iX100's hardware is primarily the same, its software bundle is entirely different, and is perhaps one of the most comprehensive collections of portable document scanner utilities we've ever seen. As a single-sheet manual-feed device, though, it's designed for small one- and two-page scan jobs. Within those confines, the iX100 is an exceptional-value portable scanner. Moderate Hardware for Modest Jobs Portable document scanners come in two distinct flavors. There's single-sheet devices like the iX100 that accept one page at a time and therefore require you to insert each page manually. And then there's multi-page sheet-feed portables, such as th...
