That is one of those “ideal conditions” numbers, and from talking to the folks at Fujitsu about this, they say with switching between wireless networks and that sort of thing, around 140 pages is more likely in the real world. The ScanSnap iX100 has a Lithium battery, and they rate it as being able to do 260 scans per charge.

You can also connect to it with a Mac or Windows computer if the computer has the ScanSnap software loaded on it. Video summary: the iX100 can create its own Wi-Fi network that you can connect to using your iOS, Android, or Kindle Fire device running the ScanSnap Connect app.

If there is no Wi-Fi network that the iX100 knows about, it will attempt to create its own. This is nice and everything, but what if there is no Wi-Fi network that you can connect to? Scan Using Direct Connection

Once the scanner is connected to a Wi-Fi network, it can scan to a mobile device running the ScanSnap Connect app (currently available for iOS, Android, or Kindle Fire), or it can scan to a Mac or Windows computer.

I set it up for my network at home, then set it up at a friend’s house, and it switched back when I arrived back home without me needing to reconfigure anything. There’s a Wi-Fi switch on the back that controls whether it will attempt to connect or not.Ī nice touch – the scanner will remember up to five Wi-Fi networks and switch seamlessly between them. If your computer or mobile device is connected to a wi-fi network, you can set up the iX100 to connect to it. How you do this depends on whether you are connected to a known Wi-Fi network or not. With no wires connected whatsoever, you can scan to a computer or mobile device. While you can use the ScanSnap iX100 as a USB scanner, I expect that most people (myself included) will use it wirelessly. If you’d like, you can use the iX100 as a USB-connected scanner, and this port is also used for charging the device – this is the first ScanSnap with a Lithium battery. Like the S1100, the iX100 has a USB port on the side. This is two seconds faster than the S1100, and almost as fast as the ScanSnap S1300i which is pretty remarkable when you consider the size. Speaking of faster and easier, the ScanSnap iX100 scans at 5.2 seconds per page. Again, a nice touch to make scanning faster and easier without a document feeder. It will keep waiting for pages until you hit the Scan button again to signal that you’re done. Then you can keep feeding paper in and it will grab it and keep scanning. You put the first page in the scanner and hit the scan button.

The video later on in this review shows how this works.īeing a mobile scanner, it obviously does not have a document feeder, so to improvise Fujitsu implemented what they call “continuous document feeding”. This is really handy for scanning dual-sided documents as the iX100 only scans single-sided. Like the S1100, the iX100 can scan “flat” where your paper goes through the back of the scanner, but it has an exit guide that you can flip up to have it return the paper to you. In fact, when I sat down to write this review I initially couldn’t find it because it was tucked away in my bag and I initially missed it. The was the first wireless ScanSnap, but it is a little big to throw in your bag.įujitsu sent me a review iX100 to check out, so let’s take a look. Over time more and more scanners were cutting the cord, and the S1100 was starting to show its age. As Mugatu so famously said in Zoolander, “Wireless scanners are so hot right now.” Today Fujitsu America is releasing their second Wi-Fi scanning model – the ScanSnap iX100.įujitsu has sold a mobile ScanSnap (the S1100) since 2011, but it had one limitation – it needed to be connected to a computer via USB.
