ScanSnap - iX100 (BLACK) Document/Photo/Business Card - Scanner -,12ppm/12ipm, USB/Mains Powered USB2.0, LED. Mobile/Portable Scanner, Scan A4, A5, A6, B5, B6, Wi-Fi or USB, 600 dpi, HIGH SPEED

I bought this mainly for use by my husband who has been on the lookout for portable, good quality scanner for some time, though with both of us working out and about, it's proved to be a valuable tool for us both already!No more hoarding scraps of paper for notes and diagrams, no more trying to straighten out crumpled papers hastily shoved into laptop bags at the end of meetings and a quick way to permanently record business card details before they turn into an unmanageable pile.The Fujitsu ScanSnap iX100 scanner is very compact and solid, it looks sleek and easily fits into laptop bags and handbags alike. Don't be fooled by the small size, being barely wider than the A4 sheets it scans, it scans quickly and results in high quality scan images appearing on your connected device in seconds. Not only can you scan any paperwork up to A4, the scanner will recognise if you scan in two halves of an A3 document and merge them back together using the accompanying software. You have to feed the pages in one at a time, but the accompanying software will group together pages automatically if fed through in quick succession.The accompanying software is easy to follow and set up, connecting the scanner quickly and easily if you follow the instructions (seriously, the steps are simple, just make sure you follow ALL of them).You have to feed one sheet at a time although it has the function to combine a series of single sheets into one document. The software has some nice inbuilt auto-correct functionality, which will nicely straighten and correct images if you accidentally miss-feed documents into the scanner.Once set up and charged, the scanner can be used completely wirelessly. No power cables, no data cables, just turn on and scan. The battery lasts very well and sending of the images to computers and mobile devices is quick.Can't recommend this enough, has been our best buy off Amazon so far this year.

I bought this to cut down on the masses of paperwork cluttering up our house and wanted a hassle-free way to scan letters and receipts before throwing them in the recycling / shredder.Once set up, you can wirelessly scan items to your favourite cloud service (Evernote, Google Drive, Dropbox etc.) without the need for a computer or phone. Being battery operated, the scanner doesn't even need to be plugged in - just insert the paper and press the button once to start scanning and again when you've scanned the last sheet of your document. The scans are processed using ScanSnap Cloud to turn them into multi-page PDFs with searchable text. I have found that the search facility on Google Drive will find text in any of my scanned documents in seconds.I can't comment on the PC software, as I haven't had any need to connect the scanner yet. The cloud service does everything I need.Downsides? Not many. The paper guide and cover seem a little flimsy and without a PC or phone you're relying on Fujitsu to continue to provide the ScanSnap Cloud service during the lifetime of the device. Also, unlike larger, more expensive scanners, this won't scan both sides of the paper at the same time. I haven't found this to be a problem though.

I read numerous reviews before buying this as a gift and I have to say that I can see why some reviewers had problems with it. If you're just using it with a mobile phone then it can be frustrating to set-up - it can either be set-up to connect directly to the phone or to use a wireless access point. If you're just using it around the home then configure it to use a Wifi AP. I managed to do this using a computer, however, once configured we can now just using the phone and the scanner (all of the problems disappear). It's brilliant when you get it working.

I have tried other scanners but found this one really goodThe scan quality is excellentWorks very well with wifiIt's light and portableBattery life is not bad as wellThe downside is duplex but you can scan a document bothside by feeding the otherwise as one documentThe speed of scan is very good when you consider the size of the scanGenerally Fujitsu scanners are good

Very neat and quick scanner, small and compact and perfect for home use. Well made and easy to us. Recommended.

absolutely love this, so much so I've bought one for work and home. Software is very dated but it's okay. Great little device, shame it's not £40.

Excellent little thing, absolutely marvelous when out travelling.If you have paperwork on the go, this is a no-brainer.

This unit is small and mobile, works well and scans fast. Would like it to scan multiple pages but I guess you can't have everything!
