Fujitsu Announces the Launch of the Newest Addition to the ScanSnap Line, the ScanSnap iX1500

Fujitsu Ltd., the world's leading scanner manufacturer, has announced the release of the ScanSnap iX1500, the next-generation model from the best-selling ScanSnap line of personal document scanners. Designed for ultimate ease-of-use, the iX1500 digitizes the paper in your environment, transforming it into secure digital files to increase productivity in your lifestyle.

“With our ScanSnap line, we’re making scanning approachable for all types of users”, said Yasunari Shimizu, FCPA’s Chief Executive Officer and President. “The ScanSnap iX1500 has experienced a significant evolution with improvements in design, function and software, but has maintained its core appeal as a simple to use, fast, and compact productivity tool. With its new touch screen and enhanced user interface, it enables everything to be done intuitively at the user’s fingertips.”

Key Features:

An optimized user experience that keeps evolving 
The iX1500 is built with ScanSnap’s one-touch simplicity. It increases scanning efficiency and continuously evolves to satisfy the user experience with various automation functions. 

・Simple from start to finish
Transition from scanning to using data with just one touch of the 4.3-inch touch screen, a first for the iX Series. Performing basic tasks, such as setup and Wi-Fi configuration, checking scanning status, and choosing save-to destinations, with the touch screen is easy - even for first-time users. Users can scan with pre-configured profiles optimized for each user’s workflow. With the iX1500, repetitive tasks such as sorting, saving, organizing, and connecting scanned data with other applications are made as simple as possible.

・Create unique user profiles
You can save information to specific destinations based on individual user preference when sharing the scanner among multiple*⁽¹⁾ users, such as family members.

・Connect to popular cloud services with ScanSnap Cloud
The iX1500 features ScanSnap Cloud, which connects to your favorite cloud service to manage your documents, receipts, business cards, and photos. You can create preconfigured shortcuts right on the touch screen to send scans to a specific cloud, or use ScanSnap Cloud’s intelligent sorting feature to deliver scans to the correct cloud service automatically.

ScanSnap Home offers excellent functions to organize and search through your data using folders, tags, and keywords. You can now identify the digital information you need more quickly and easily than before.

・It learns and optimizes performance as you scan

The iX1500 automatically names and suggests titles for your scanned files based on content and preset naming conventions. Suggestion accuracy is improved the more titles are repeatedly edited, allowing users to avoid spending time on repetitive corrections. Edits made to company names attributed to scanned business cards, for instance, are reflected on successive scans with the same attributed company.

The iX1500’s adaptable and aesthetic design enables it to blend into any space, so it can remain where it is used the most, such as in your living room, study room, or office.
