Compact Fujitsu Introduces Two New Scanners to Make Everyday Scanning Easy

The home has now become the modern epicenter of work, wellness, education, entertainment, and many other activities.

This technology can provide ways to augment and improve the home and office experience, while consumers feel the impact of these smart solutions.

ScanSnap iX1600

According to Fujitsu, the iX1600 boasts a fast scanning speed while producing high quality images. Scanning at 40 ppm/80 ipm (A4 documents, color, 300 dpi) is 33% faster than its predecessor, the iX1500. ScanSnap also offers dedicated software (ScanSnap Home) and this too has undergone improvements to have better functionality, usability, and ease of operation with faster start-up times and searchable PDF generation.

The touchscreen features simple icons for quick selection of scan-to destinations including folder, e-mail, or cloud. You can create searchable PDFs as well as editable Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, and extract important data to help organize and search. ScanSnap Home 2.0 is compatible with Mac and Windows. ScanSnap Home 2.0 comes bundled with both new scanners.

Late last year Keypoint Intelligence conducted a comprehensive survey of IT decision makers (log in to the InfoCenter) to discover and validate capture activities both in the office and at home. Document transformation, whether for personal or business use, was seen as a critical step in content digitalization. COVID-19 has brought to light many inefficiencies that exist in business content workflow and has furthered projects and initiatives to upgrade old and antiquated methods for paper-based content. The ScanSnap series makes for advances to content workflow solutions at a low cost of entry and ease of integration—making it ideal for home use, the office, or both.
