PFU Imaging Solutions introduces the Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500, a document scanner designed to make digitizing documents as easy as possible and help companies transition to digital workflows.
Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 saves users time: they can now convert piles of paper documents into PDF files at the touch of a button! Simply place documents in the scanner, press a button and the information is instantly transferred to Android and iOS tablets and smartphones – either directly via Wi-Fi, or via PC or Mac.
A new approach called “Scan-to-Everywhere”: ScanSnap Manager software allows you to integrate third party applications into a Quick Menu and select the “destination” of your document with a single click or touch of the touch screen.
Automatically optimizes images for increased user efficiency as scanned documents are processed and enhanced directly in the scanner, so you get high quality images without having to process them on your tablet or smartphone. ScanSnap iX500 also supports USB 3.0 for fast data transfer to PC or Mac.
One touch scanning
Insert a paper document, press the blue scan button on the ScanSnap scanner or ScanSnap Connect app and that document appears on the device of your choice.
Scanning requires no technical skills on the part of the user, which is especially useful when one device is used by several people. Whether it’s in a meeting room, reception area or conference room, users can quickly digitize paper documents and share them with others as needed.
They can also connect their smartphones or tablets to the ScanSnap iX500 via the Wi-Fi interface built into the scanner. Images from paper documents can be transferred directly to Android or iOS mobile devices in PDF or JPG format.
Digital Technology = High Efficiency
The ScanSnap iX500 is the ideal solution for companies who need a professional document scanner to digitize their document workflow. The system seamlessly integrates paper documents-from business cards to A3 material-into digital processes, eliminating valuable time spent on paperwork.
Document scanner is equipped with smart features that speed up the scanning process and help you work more productively. These include intelligent cropping, automatic rotation of documents that are placed skewed or upside down in the scanner, and indexing and automatic keyword generation for quick PDF searches.
Handy quick access menu
ScanSnap users can now integrate third party software into the Quick Menu with just a few mouse clicks. Scanned documents will be transferred directly from this menu to the right application. The only requirement for the software is support for PDF or JPG formats. ScanSnap iX500 supports scanning to a variety of popular cloud environments such as Evernote, Dropbox, Google Docs, Salesforce and SugarSync.
