This is an incredible multi-page scanner that works over wi-fi.Very compact, fast and efficient.An amazing product!

Surprisingly easy to use and is amazingly quick. Worked a treat

I first came across the Scansnap scanners when using a friends 1400 to scan old photos. This it did ridiculously easily with great results. I therefore decided to buy one for myself but opted for the 1300 because of the ability to front load as well which is great when scanning thicker material such as passports and credit cards etc. The software is intuitive and easy and the copier is always ready to go with just one press of the button. Brilliant !

What did I like about it. Well, as a replacement for my previous ScanSnap Fi-5010 eox, it is very good. Extremely compact and it does what I need it to do, which is to scan A4 paper documents and convert the image to searchable text in PDF format. Scanning is very fast, lifting the cover turns the machine on closing the cover turns it off. Most of the complexity is controlled by the software which is actually not in the box. you need to download these packages from the Fujitsu support web page. The results are excellent once you have managed to sort out installation and learnt how to operate the bundled SnapScan packages. I speak from previous experience with the Fi-5010 eox, as I am actually using using the iX1300 scanner with Vuescan Professional software which, in my opinion, is a much simpler and better integrated solution for my needs.You can use WiFi to share access with more than one device but as I opted to connect via the USB lead (in the package), I am not going to comment on the use of WiFiDislikes, not too much. Manuals are pretty well absent, although there is a single folded 'get you started' sheet. There is one point you should be aware of. The reason I am moving from my original scanner to the iX 1300 is because of the deterioration of the document exit rollers, which turned from solid to a sticky mess. You can replace the 'pick' roller , and that process is described in the 'get you started' sheet, however this process, does not include the exit rollers. This actually limits the lifetime of the scanner and I note that the iX1300 has a similar type of roller. The good news is that you should get about 10 years of use before you face this problem!

It's pricey, so I bought it after a lot of research. It's small and portable. It took me around 20 minutes to set it up (you have to download the software to set it up), but once it set up it's connected to my laptop wirelessly, and all you need to do is press the scan button.And behold - holy cow it's fast! And the scans are accurate! Colours are nice! And duplex (automatic).I'm very impressed. This machine is GOOD.The only caveat - if you want to scan to a 'searchable pdf' you will need to upload it to its cloud service.

Love the simplicity. Open the top and it's ready to scan. It even flips up the paper support and the return guide at the same time, Good design. Produces excellent scans and the software is comprehensive. I'm impressed.

For me the main issue in choosing a scanner was capacity/speed vs size/cost. I opted towards the latter in choosing this scansnap which meant that scanning in all my existing documents took longer than if I had opted for a larger model. However it was still pretty quick (30 pages a minute) and now I've done all the hard yards I only need to occasionally scan a document. A couple of other caveats - the software interface initially was very confusing. I had to ask the helpdesk something but the gentleman was very helpful. The main thing to learn is how to add scans together (a 130 page document will take at least 5 scans) but once you figure this it out it's plain sailing. The only real frustration were the paper jams - I think maybe 1 in 10 scans resulted in a jam - it's easiest to cancel and re-do it. Oddly there seemed little correlation with paper quality. The other fault was occasionally missing the odd page out (I did find myself watching to check this did not happen or at least checking how many pages were sent afterwards to ensure one was not missed out). Overall I would give the product 4.5 stars. The positives outweigh the negatives and if you, like me, only have a modest home office this will be a good option to consider.
