We loaded ScanSnap Home on a second Windows 10 desktop and it spotted the scanner via its wireless connection. Profiles for all users are displayed on the scanner’s touchscreen so you’ll want to customise their names to show which host a scan will be sent to.” The software bundle includes Abbyy FineReader for optical character recognition (OCR) and Kofax Power PDF Standard for creating and editing PDFs. You simply need to select a profile that is set to connect to ScanSnap Cloud and press the Scan button on the iX1500's touch screen.

Support for Fujitsu's core computing products - including notebooks (LIFEBOOK), tablets PCs (STYLISTIC), PCs, servers (PRIMERGY), and storage (ETERNUS) - is provided via a central portal. 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. Scan your documents, receipts, business cards and pictures and let the software file each format - even suggesting file names.
