ScanSnap iX1300 Compact Wireless or USB Double-Sided Color Document, Photo & Receipt Scanner with Auto Document Feeder and Manual Feeder for Mac or PC, Black

I’m probably crazy but 20 years after college I still was holding onto my college notebooks and I refused to throw them out. We needed the space and so I decided to scan them with a printer/scanner combo. With over 25 classes of notes, it was taking an hour per class PLUS the notes were not duplex so I had a scan of the odd and even pages. As with just about any printer, I basically need to fix it every time I use it. The printer/scanner experience is just a trash fire. After so many paper jams and not trying to lose my sanity, I started looking for another solution. It didn’t take long to find this amazing scanner. Amazon delivered fast and the install was effortless on my Windows 11 PC. The instructions are so easy to follow, you connect it with a physical wire and then immediately it shows you how to set it up for wireless. It just works EVERY TIME. This thing is fast. As I stated earlier, it was taking me an hour to scan a single class of notes with my printer/scanner. This scanner completed all of my 25 class notes in under 3 hours. Plus all the scans look beautiful AND they are duplex (front and back of pages) in PDF format. The software is so easy to use. I’ll admit that the first few scans required some adjustment but once I got it tuned it was perfect. I was also afraid of getting any new devices since space is at a luxury in my home office. This thing is small. It folds up and I can slide it into a drawer. Everything about this device is awesome and just well designed. If you need a scanner look no further. It isn’t cheap but you a definitely going to love what you are getting if you pick up this scanner. Just the time saved during the holiday season more than made up for the cost.

I am converting my home art/craft room into a work-from-home office. There is only so much surface space on my desktop for all the gadgets I will need. This one closes up pretty small when not being used. It just flips open and closed and does need a little space behind it when the top opens and page guide flips up. I will occasionally need a scanner, but not a great big or large flat bed one that takes up a lot of space. This one is great. It work s very fast and I have not had any misfeeds, and then it closes up nicely. It has the option for front feed or top feed of documents. The resolution/dpi setting is OK and my documents don't really need to be super quality.

Great scanner! Used to scan over 2,000 old family prints. Simple and functional software (auto rotate & crop, etc). stack feeder handles 15-20 photos without jamming, manual feeding is also very good. Software has option to enhance photo image when scanning, I selected not, but not a bad feature. Overall scanned image quality is 9/10 (dependent upon the original print) and on par with more expensive HP flat bed scanner. Took about three weeks for this archiving process and scanner worked perfectly.

If you want something to destroy everything you try to scan, this is the perfect device for you. My biggest problem with this device, and the reason it is now sitting in my garbage can, is how much it loved to eat and crumple documents. Didn't matter if I tried to use the front or top loader, it typically crushed it at least half the time. Old Christmas cards in the front, regular 8x11 on top, didn't matter. Always a good chance the rollers would pull it in funny and spit it out creased, folded, or crushed, with a terrible scan. Today it turned legal documents into a crumpled mess, and I snapped the top loader trying to get them back. I guess I should not have trusted it with 6 pieces of paper. Other problems I've had, and while I will never buy from this company again: While setup isn't too difficult, it is tedious. WiFi scanning is a joke. Never once could I just turn it on and scan to my computer. Needed to use the USB cable, get it reconnected to the WiFi, and then could keep going if I needed it to. Rarely needed to scan more than the one document, so typically not helpful. The program interface looks like it was designed on Windows ME, and it works like it. Did not feel user friendly, way too many options with technical jargon, and why it would not just scan straight to My Documents without trying to create extra subfolders is beyond me. It also tries to read the document and autofill things, which it always got wrong, and made very difficult to edit. I want it to scan documents, enable some minor adjustments, and save to the correct folder. Why that is the last thing their program wants to do is beyond me. Finally, spring came off the back flap last month, so it would not stay closed. Could not for the life of me get it back in, there's no help online for this problem, and tech support was worthless. This is one of my biggest regret purchases, and I will never trust a ScanSnap with any important, or my money, again.

This scanner is amazing, so small yet can scan multiple items into your laptop or phone in seconds.

I really love this product. It is great at scanning numerous documents quickly. The only thing I notice is that I have to unplug and replug the scanner in the usb port to start up the software if you are not doing one scan after another.

The hardware is fine, but the software is slow initially to boot up (hence only 4 stars). After the first scan is done, things speed up and scans are fast. The original software was called "ScanSnap Manager" which was superior is performance and features to the current software called "Scansnap Home". ScanSnap scanners have excellent build quality. I have the older models X1100, X1300 and iX500 and now the iX1300. The latest software (ScanSnap Home) does work with all the older models. The iX1300 is particularly good for scanning cards and passports and is a better choice over the iX1600. The scans produce searchable PDFs and are devices I use every day for my records management. UPDATE. I have a MacBook Pro M1, but after use I have downgraded from 4 to 1 star. The WiFi connection is unreliable. The Hardware is excellent, but the software hopeless on a Mac. Looks like the software is built for Intel but runs on a Mac via Rosetta 2. Support is hopeless (they all pass the buck). Ricoh needs to build a native version of the ScanSnap Home software for the Mac. The software lets the product down. I have tried every thing over the last several months. I also recently purchased an iX2500 which suffers from the same problem as the iX1300. The scanner works fine when connected with USB cable. The only way to get the WiFI connection working again is to reboot the Mac. I am running all the latest software MacOS 26.01, ScanSnap Home 3.2.0(6).

The hardware might be OK - the software install is a convoluted nightmare

Je l'utilise depuis 3 jours et je l'apprécie beaucoup. Très facile à utiliser. J'ai scanné des papiers, des reçus et des photos. On peut mettre jusqu'à environ 25 feuilles ou photos à la fois. Je n'ai eu qu'un seul bourrage de papier, mais il faut dire que le papier était très épais. J'ai scanné les feuilles une à la fois et je n'ai pas eu de problème. J'ai aussi essayé de mettre plusieurs photos à la fois et ça l'a très bien fonctionné. Je cherchais à scanner plusieurs photos rapidement et facilement, et pour cela, ça fonctionne très bien. Pour les photos d'archive ou celle qui demande un traitement particulier, je ne pense pas que ça soit le meilleur scanner pour ça.
