We scan so you can clearly capture what's important

Cards: 0.76 mm or less (Compliant with the ISO7810 ID-1 type) (Includes embossed cards in landscape orientation) I tested the iX1600 (and all these others) over a USB connection from our standard Intel Core i5 PC running Windows 10 Professional.I also tested it using ScanSnap Home from the control panel and got basically the same performance. To ensure consistency, we try to test all machines the same way, so the scores reported here are for PC-initiated scans.

Those specs are similar to those of the Raven Pro Max. Another recent sheetfed/flatbed combo, the HP ScanJet Enterprise Flow N6600 fnw1, is much shorter and leaner, closer in size to lower-end models like Epson's DS-1630 and PCMag's Best of 2019 winner the Xerox Duplex Combo Scanner. Share your critical documents with colleagues or share family memories with powerful free ScanSnap Home software. As I've said more than once, OCR accuracy is at least as important as raw speed; the fastest scanner on the planet is worthless if you must spend too much time fixing conversion errors. The Fujitsu fi-8270 proved error-free down to 5 points in our Arial font test and 6 points with Times New Roman. That's superb—and these days, fairly average for professional-grade scanners. ScanSnap Cloud delivers scanned data directly from your ScanSnap iX1500 to your favorite cloud services without a computer or mobile device. The software automatically classifies your file type by documents, receipts, business cards and photos, and sends it to the appropriate cloud based on your pre-set profiles.To activate cloud scanning, just create a free ScanSnap Cloud account and log all instances of ScanSnap Home into it. We then created a new profile to send scans directly our Dropbox account and all we had to do was load our documents and select this from the touchscreen.” The ScanSnap Cloud mobile app provides direct access to scans placed in your cloud repositories. We could even use our iPad to take photos of documents and send them as PDFs directly to our Dropbox account.”

Cloud scanning is outstanding – ScanSnap Home supports Dropbox, Google Drive and Photos, Box, OneDrive and Evernote. You can also send receipts directly to the Expensify and Shoeboxed cloud services for expense accounting.” Simply open the document chute and ScanSnap is ready to go. Scan single and double sided documents with ease at a speedy 30 sheets per minute *1. When choosing "Fast" startup *2, you can start scanning even faster. As I said about the fi-8170 a few months ago, Fujitsu reps tell me the company's high-end business scanners are usually deployed within existing document-management environments and workflows, whose users often already have a software solution in place. If you're rolling out a new document-archiving system, however, the fi-8270's bundled PaperStream programs and utilities (and available add-ons) should have everything you need. Fujitsu's PaperStream Capture is a competent scanner interface, though for top-of-the-line document management you'll need a license for PaperStream Capture Pro. Allows you to preview, manage, tag, search and retrieve your important documents or memories. Never lose important documents again with ScanSnap Home. Scan and share your files via the cloud with your team or family. Have your documents at hand wherever you are.Scan your documents, receipts, business cards and pictures and let the software file each format - even suggesting file names. Save time searching for photos of the family or vital documents – find them with ScanSnap Home. At least two of the fi-8270's more direct competitors, the Raven Pro Max and the HP ScanJet N6600, come with Wi-Fi wireless and Wi-Fi Direct peer-to-peer networking, in addition to Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.2 connections. This Fujitsu supports only USB and Ethernet, offering little or no support for scanning from handheld smartphones or tablets. The Raven also has an auxiliary USB port for scanning to flash drives and other USB storage devices. Connectivity consists of Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.2.
