This is the 2nd Scansnap I bought. I am still using my first one but needed another one. I bought this one a) because of how well the last one has been working HOWEVER... the wireless capability is much below what I expected.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago. I wasted the better part of a day trying to set it up so I could use it for what I intended. The instructions refer to features that just don't seem to be there or don't work. I got it to scan directly to the cloud ONCE, but never again.

Each employee has these and they are the best personal scanners we've come across.

The Fujitsu iX500 ($495) is a capable and likeable document scanner for personal or small office use. It met its rated speeds in our tests and lost almost no time when saving files to searchable PDF. The scanner did well in both text recognition and business card scanning.

Very fast at scanning to searchable PDF; Met its rated simplex and duplex scan speeds; Good optical-character-recognition (OCR); Did well at reading business cards; Misfeed-free in our testing; Wi-Fi and USB 3.0 connectivity
