You are most welcome Kerry. I'm glad that you think so. Enjoy the guides and feel free to share. 😊 Happy New Year! 🎆

Elizabeth, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you find the information in my videos concise, clear, and easy to understand. Your support means a lot to me, and I'm glad you enjoy watching them. If you ever have any questions or suggestions for future videos, feel free to let me know. Thanks again!

Thank you Chantal. It's true. The continuous scan mode really makes it easy. I can only imagine how much longer my scan job would have taken if I would have needed to stop between each scan to respond to a prompt on the computer or press the button on the scanner. By being able to feed each photo in one after another, it make the job a snap. I guess that must be why Fujitsu calls it the ScanSnap. 😊🖨

You are most welcome. Thank you for saying so. I'm glad that you find my video to be helpful. Please feel free to share with any friends, family, colleagues or anyone else who you think may also find it to be useful. I wish you all the best with your KZfaq channel. I just put some 'likes' on all your videos. 😊

You are most welcome Barry. I'm glad that you think so and I appreciate you sharing. I hope that you're having a great weekend. 🙂👍

Thank you so much PizzaPino! I really appreciate it.

You are most welcome. Thank you for commenting! 😊👍

Good morning. That is wonderful. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. 😊👍

Hi Rosie. You are most welcome. I talk about the ScanSnap iX1400 in a FAQ video. Here is a link to that video, and to the time where I talk about it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7dnqrKgtd-Vhp8.html. I hope that this will help you decide. Please let me know if you have any other questions. 😊👍

You are most welcome @SolidCactus. I appreciate it.👍 I'm actually in the process of making a comparison video to talk about the differences between the two but that video won't be ready for a while, and I wouldn't expect you to wait. I think that deciding between the iX1300 and iX1600 all depends on what you are intending to do with the scanner. For example, if your primary purpose is to scan standard documents, the iX1600 has a maximum daily duty cycle of 6,000 scans, whereas the iX1300 is only 3,500 scans. Also, the iX1600 holds 50 sheets in its ADF feeder whereas the iX1300 holds only 20. What I’m trying to convey here is that the iX1600 is much more of a pure, fast, high-quality document scanner. Of course it can scan photos and business cards and plastic cards and other things, but it doesn’t have a front return scan like the iX1300. As I show in this video, the iX1300 will scan basically anything that will go through the front return slot (as long as it isn't too tall, wide, or long). The iX1600 doesn't have this feature and isn't capable of scanning things like passports and projector slides and ski passes and some of the other stuff I scanned. Is that helpful? Can I ask what kind of scanning jobs you think that you'd be doing the most?

I’m thinking of having this scanner on my desk and being very compact for quick scans! I like the front load feature a lot but have one final question that will help my decision if you can answer! Can I use the ix1300 without a connected PC? Ideally I just want to send to the Scansoft Cloud without having to have it plugged in to a PC? Does it have a web interface I can manage it with?

@@BoxingCactuar. This may be the scanner for you then, particularly with respect to being very compact and available for quick scans. As I understand it, the answer is yes. If you take a look at the following video from Fujitsu, it explains how their people have engineered ScanSnap Cloud to provide exactly the solution that you're describing: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7CXfLx8yM2bdmg.html. Personally, I like to keep my scans on my local computer which is backed up to Microsoft OneDrive so I've never actually used ScanSnap Cloud. However, based on our discussion here, and the fact that I plan to make additional Fujitsu videos, I think that I'll look further into it and get some firsthand experience. 👍 Let me know if that is helpful. If you pick up a iX1300 and want to tell me about your experience using ScanSnap Cloud, I'd love that. It's a pleasure chatting with you about this. 🙂

@@SeanDillman The main difference between the ix1300 and the ix1600 is that it doesn't have a display. Can the Snapscan app (Android & IPhone) do the same thing that I can set in the display on the ix1600? I would like a Snapscan App (Android & iPhone) Review.

Hi ​@@MrDahoox . You are the second person to ask a question about this in the past week so I think that the time has come for me to make that video. Thanks for your feedback. I'll add a ScanSnap App review to my list. In the meantime, the ScanSnap App does sort of the the same thing as ScanSnap Home but instead of having access to various different scan profiles that you can use, you basically just need to set your settings and you only have one profile. Meaning, if you scan a bunch of documents using the Mobile App, and you set the file format, filename, color mode, image quality, scanning side, feed, blank page skipping, etc., you will be good to go. However, if you then switch over to scanning photos, you would need to go into the app and change the scan settings (assuming that you don't want to use the same settings to scan photos and you want to use to scan documents). Does that make sense? Is that helpful? A video would definitely make it easier for me to show this.

HI Matthew. You're most welcome. Receipts are getting ridiculously long aren't they? Fortunately, this scanner does handle long receipts and I even made a video showing you how it works. Here is the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7J0icJhyM22gIk.html. 👍

Hi Tiawana. You are most welcome. That's a great question. No one has ever asked me that before and I didn't know the answer, so I decided to make a custom video answer for you. Please see the following KZfaq link for my answer: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLyUmKRpvLu7cXk.html 👍

Hi Lutfor. Thank you for that question. I have looked at the Brother ADS 1700W quite a bit in stores (mostly in Staples and Best Buy) but I have never owned one or used one extensively so I couldn't necessarily say if the iX1300 is better. I am always looking for ideas for new video content so I will add your suggestion to my list for the future. Thanks again Lutfor. Happy New Year! 🎇

Hi Friedel. You are most welcome. Thank you for watching and for all of that great feedback! Other people have also commented on the music so I may try removing it in future videos. My apologies for not having an affiliate link for Europe or Germany. You are the first person to request one! I am looking forward to having a great start to 2023. I hope that you will have a great new year too and I wish all the best for you and your family. Frohes neues Jahr! 🎇🎈🎉

Hi Friedel83, Turn on subtitles, go to settings (gear), then subtitles, click, auto-translate, select German. Then comes the English video with German subtitles. I also miss a affiliate link for Germany.

@@MrDahoox Hey Maghoo, i know this setting 🙂 But then where is the challenge? 😉 I am loooking english reviews to improve my english skills ... And when my B1 or B2 Oxford english is not enough then i activate the german generated subtitles ... 😇But thanks for the tipp anyways!!! BTW i bought the iX1300 in the meantime ... great scanner!!! Have a great start in the new year ✌

@@Friedel83 Thank you for your answer. I ordered the iX1300, it should arrive today. I am curious. I'm sure I'll be scanning New Year's Eve

Thanks for that@@MrDahoox. I didn't know about the auto-translate feature. Thank you for teaching me something new in 2023. Happy New Year. 🙂🎆

Hi Nancy. I'm glad that you are finding that it works great. I'm a lawyer and I very much agree. When you say WIFI direct, do you mean Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)? If so, here is the link to the setup page on the manufacturer website: www.pfu.ricoh.com/imaging/downloads/manual/ss_webhelp/en/help/webhelp/topic/wf_wifitool_pc_direct.html

Hi Amit. The ScanSnap ix1300 is primarily designed to work with Windows and Mac computers, and it does not have native support for Android devices. However, you can use the ScanSnap Home mobile app to connect your Android device to the scanner and scan documents wirelessly. Here's how you can use the ScanSnap ix1300 with Android: 1. Download and install the ScanSnap Home mobile app from the Google Play Store on your Android device. 2. Connect your ScanSnap ix1300 to your Wi-Fi network using the Wi-Fi button on the scanner. Make sure your Android device is also connected to the same Wi-Fi network. 3. Launch the ScanSnap Home mobile app on your Android device and tap the "+" button to add a new scanner. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions to select your ScanSnap ix1300 from the list of available scanners. 5. Once the scanner is connected, you can use the ScanSnap Home app to scan documents and save them to your Android device. Note that the ScanSnap Home mobile app is not as fully-featured as the desktop version of the ScanSnap Home software. You may not have access to all the features of the scanner, such as OCR (optical character recognition), and the scanning process may be slower than it would be on a desktop computer. As for other Android software beyond this, I'm not aware of any.

Hi there. You bet. This scanner can connect by USB or wireless. Here is the USB specifications for this specific scanner: USB 3.2 Gen1x1 / USB 2.0 / USB 1.1 (Connector Type: Type-B)*11

Hi Marilena. Oh wow. That's great that you found one. Yes. The iX1300 can definitely scan passports. I actually made a video about scanning passports that I'll be posting in a week or so. 🙂

@@SeanDillman Thanks again for your prompt reply and all your help! That seals the deal for me then, iX1300 it is 😃 And I'll keep an eye for the new video :)

@@marilenacantizani You are most welcome. That's great. I'm loving my iX1300. I hope that you'll love yours too. Tomorrow I'll be posting a video about how to scan long receipts (or other long documents), including with the iX1300. If this is something that you think may come up for you, keep an eye out for that one. 👍

Hi Andrew. Please excuse the delay in my response. The holiday season was busy for me. I think that the answer is yes but I would like to test this for you before answering definitively. I will be returning to my home office soon and can run a test when I'm back. Is that helpful? Do you still want an answer to this?

Hi Amanda. That's a great idea. I think that the iX1300 may not have that level of functionality. For something with this level of sophistication, you would need to look at something like the fi-8170 (which I also have a video on). With an iX1300, if your student assignments had each name in a prominent location on the document, and if it was typed in (not handwritten in pen or pencil), the ScanSnap Home software may be able to auto-detect the information and use it to name files; however, this is not a guarantee, and it would not automatically route it to a folder for each student. That being said, I do believe that this could be achieved using the fi-8170 and the larger suite of available software. Is that helpful?

Hi Jim. That's a great idea for a video but unfortunately I don't have a Chromebook. 😟 Given that the Chromebook will run Android apps, did you install the ScanSnap Connect app?

Hi Margarita. I can try. What kind of work program are you using?

Hi there. I suppose it is difficult for me to say for sure that it will meet your needs without knowing more but I can say that I love my iX1300. I use it all the time. I think that it offers a lot of value for the price. I am not sure if there is a better/cheaper alternative, because something cheaper may be of lower quality. You mention scanning mail and random documents. This scanner makes very short work of most scanning jobs. As I show in my video, there was almost nothing that I couldn't scan with it. As long as I could fit it in the machine, it scanned it. So in short, I can't offer a guarantee or anything but I am fairly confident that it would work well for you, based on your description of what you want it for, and based on how well it works for me. I hope that this is helpful. Thank you for asking me your questions. 😊

@@SeanDillman thank you so much for the quick reply! I love your channel and subscribed ❤️ my only other question I had to ask was does the scanner have an issue with documents that come in the mail because they’re folded? Do I need to try to straighten them first or can it scan it just fine without straightening?

@@RankingMaster11 You are most welcome. Please excuse my delay getting back to your follow-up question. When it comes to items that come in the mail, it all depends on the size (how wide they are and how thick they are). However, generally speaking, when I receive standard letter sized mail that has a few pages in it, like an electrical bill or a bank statement, I can usually scan the entire envelope first without opening it. After I open it, I scan the individual pages. As for straightening the pages, I sort of try to run my hand over them to get the folds out a little bit, but they aren't really a problem. In short, the iX1300 scans regular mail items just fine. 😊

Hi @@RankingMaster11. Please excuse the delay in my response. Thank you so much for subscribing to my channel! In my experience, it does have a bit of an issue with pulling two documents at the same time when they are folded from the mail. Whenever I get a letter from my bank, it usually contains a two or more page document which I usually need to unfold and try to straighten. If I don't try to straighten out the pages, the iX1300 will often pull the pages all as one page and fail to scan each page. So YES. This is an issue. 😊

Hi Yadira. Congratulations on the new purchase. Please take a look at my playlist on desktop scanners. I go into all kinds of deeper information on the iX1600, but most of the information is the same for the iX1300 because they use the same software (ScanSnap Home). In Short, I believe that if you create a single scan job made up of multiple pages, you can use the viewer tool in ScanSnap Home to drag and drop and remove pages so as to create single files. Give it a go and let me know if this answers your question. 😊👍

@@SeanDillman Thank you

Hi Ray Ray. Thank you for that. I appreciate it. You are not the first to mention the music. I like to have it to hide small background noises and add some energy to my videos but perhaps I will look for new music to use in 2023 or remove it entirely as you suggest. Thanks again. Happy New Year. I hope that 2023 is a great year for you. 🎆

Hi Lutfor. I actually did make a video about scanning passports using this scanner. I did not yet post the video as being public because I was waiting to finish my fi-8170 review. Here is the link for the KZfaq video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZtB-lLpjqZmUlaM.html What a happy coincidence that you are asking about this and I have the video ready to go. 🙂

@@SeanDillman Thanks a lot man. Your videos are so helpful. Appreciate them, and also thanks for your fast response.

You are most welcome @@lutforrahman8809​. Please excuse the delay in my response. It has been a busy holiday season. Happy New Year. 🙂🎆

Hi Krauss. You bet. According to the Fujitsu website, "A3 . . . document sizes are required to be folded in half." Here is a link to the website: www.fujitsu.com/ca/en/products/computing/peripheral/scanners/soho/ix1300/#tab-b-03 Let me know if you have any other questions. 👍

I agree. I've personally never had a connectivity issue with any of my ScanSnap scanners. They work perfectly, either connected by a USB cable or wirelessly. On another note, I checked out your channel. I love it. I saw a big grey squirrel this morning. I walked a big circle around it so that I didn't disturb it. 😃🐿👍

@@SeanDillman😂😂 thank you so much!! I love em' Correct about the ScanSnap, far more of a seamless experience! Keep up the excellent reviews 👍👍

Will do @@StrongmanLovesAnimals. Thank you. Have a great weekend. 🙂👍

Hi Fred. You bet. The ScanSnap Home software which comes with the iX1300 offers OCR solutions. 😊👍

Hi there. My understanding is that F4 paper is 210 mm × 330 mm (8.27 in × 13.0 in). According to the manual for the iX1300, it supports a paper width of 50.8 to 215.9 mm (2 to 8.5 in.) and a length of 50.8 to 355.6 mm (2 to 14 in.), or even up to 863 mm (34 in.) for long page documents. This would suggest to me that the answer is yes, the iX1300 can handle F4 paper. 👍

@@SeanDillman thank you sir

You are most welcome Peter (@@peterfebrianz1345). Thank you. 😊

Hi Lutfor. You likely already know that TWAIN is a driver (software) that runs between a piece of hardware (like a scanner) and another piece of software (like bookkeeping software). Whether TWAIN is important to you would depend on whether you would want to use the iX1300 to directly scan into a piece of third-party software. For example, pharmacists may use TWAIN to scan medication prescriptions directly into specific software so that they can work with the information and fill orders. Accountants may use TWAIN to scan tax documents directly into tax software so that they can work with that information to prepare tax returns. In these instances, they may be using a scanner like a Fujitsu fi-8170. There are countless other examples of ways that people may want to use TWAIN, but these are a few. If you want to share more with me about what you are scanning and why you are scanning it, I can ideally give you better advice on whether TWAIN may be important for you. Thanks Lutfor. 🙂

@@SeanDillman Thanks. I mostly scan books which i use in ABBYY FineReader. I scan loose pages, office documents, legal documents for preservation purposes.

Hi @@lutforrahman8809. Great. Thank you for that information. That is mostly what I do with my scanner too. For me, I never find that I need TWAIN. That being said, I am starting a new position soon and will be spending time reviewing the fi-8170, which is TWAIN compatible. Keep an eye out for my future review video. I will mention if I ended up making any use of the TWAIN functionality. I will also be seeing if it may be handy in my new position, which will be more litigation focused.

Thank you for your question. Which list did you mean? Is there a HP scanner that you would recommend?

@@SeanDillman I don't have one in mind. I want to go paperless and was searching for recommendations & I am super impressed with what you can do with this scanner I've heard of. I think I will get it. The only reason I ask about HP is because I have a Laser Jet and it has a scanner, but it is large and cumbersome. I was surprised that a big name like HP did not appear. Maybe they just don't have anything that is small portable and fast like this Fujitsu ScanSnap iX1300. I can only see HP ScanJet Pro. This ScanSnap iX1300 seems great.

I bought it & it is amazing & simple.

I'm always trying to make my videos better so thanks for the feedback Cassio. 🙂👍

Thanks for the comment Jay.
