We encounter electronic data and paper documents every day. That’s why document digitization remains critical, especially for remote workers. The Fujitsu ScanSnap iX1300 is a powerful and compact scanning solution for home offices and telecmmmuters on the go. Take a look at four compelling reasons to make the iX1300 your next upgrade.
Powerful Capabilities
The ScanSnap iX1300 offers plenty of functionality. Several helpful features make it an excellent choice for digitizing small document batches:
- Manual front feed and automatic feed modes
- Automatic document feeder with 20-sheet capacity
- Scan speeds of up to 30 pages per minute
- Supports up to 8.5 x 14 paper size
The iX1300 includes U-Turn Scan, eliminating the need for an exit tray. Sheets feed through the ADF, following a U-shaped path as the machine scans them before exiting to its top stacker. Return-path scanning through its front feeder captures data and images from plastic cards, photographs, pamphlets, and booklets.
Compact and Portable
With the iX1300’s lightweight construction and small size, it easily fits on a desk or in a laptop bag. Weighing only 4.4 pounds, it’s lighter than a two-liter bottle of soda. Measuring 11.5 by 3.9 by 3.0 inches, its desktop footprint equals a letter-sized sheet of paper. The iX1300 also comes with a simple AC 100 to 240 V power adapter. Thanks to its USB and WiFi connectivity options, you can use it from any location.
ScanSnap
Many of the iX1300’s capabilities lie in its ScanSnap software. It automatically comes with ScanSnap Home, a productivity-boosting scanning app with features that improve document quality, keep you organized, and save you time:
- Optical Character Recognition
- Image correction
- Document categorization
- Intuitive icons and controls
For multilingual remote workers, ScanSnap Home offers even more benefits. It supports several languages besides English, including Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, and French. Receipt scanning also includes multilingual support plus currency recognition including euros, Canadian dollars, Korean won, Chinese yuan, and Japanese yen. You can find a complete list of supported languages in ScanSnap Home’s documentation.
Updating Technology
Fujitsu’s U-Turn Scan technology makes duplex and multi-document scanning possible within the iX1300’s compact footprint. With its continuous scanning method, it pulls sheets from the ADF at its rear and feeds them around to the exit slot at the top. The iX1300 also includes Return Scan, a manual feed mode that lets you easily scan booklets and cards. You can operate both modes through its One-Button scan feature.
The iX1300 includes direct scan-to-cloud functionality plus support for scanning to mobile devices, email, printers, and more. It also serves as a dedicated scanner, letting you image documents and save them directly to your Mac or PC. If you’ve struggled with how to scan from printer to computer, know that scanning from the iX1300 is much simpler and ensures better quality results.
Enhanced Productivity
The Fujitsu ScanSnap iX1300 is essential equipment for remote workers. Portable monitors further enable location independence, so you can work from virtually anywhere. Adding the iX1300 and a portable monitor also extends functionality, allowing you to do more in limited spaces.
