iX1300 Wireless or USB Double-Sided Color Document Scanner, 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 use the ScanSnap iX1300 for scanning documents, and it has been very helpful for keeping paperwork organized. It scans quickly, produces clear digital copies, and the double-sided scanning saves a lot of time. The compact design is one of my favorite features because it does not take up much space on my desk. Setup was straightforward, and I like having the option to connect wirelessly or by USB. It works well for receipts, office documents, forms, and other paperwork. Overall, this is a reliable scanner for a home office or small business, especially for anyone trying to reduce paper files.

I’ve had the ScanSnap iX1300 for a little while now, and I’m honestly blown away by how good this compact scanner is. It’s small, but the moment you feed a page into the front, it wakes up instantly, pulls the document in, scans both sides fast, and sends it straight to ScanSnap Home without any fuss. The automatic paper handling is one of my favorite parts — the feed arm pops out on its own when you open the top, and the return tray actually slides out during scanning to catch the pages, then tucks itself back in when it’s done. It feels incredibly well‑designed. The setup was simple, the wireless connection has been rock‑solid, and the ScanSnap software is surprisingly powerful. It even names documents automatically based on the first line if you want it to. The scan quality is excellent — better than I expected from something this compact. I’m very picky about how my equipment works, and this scanner has been perfect for my needs. I’m really happy with this purchase and wouldn’t trade it for anything.

I bought the first one in 2022.. After almost two years, in March 2024, it broke down. I quickly ordered a new one. The qualities of the second device, especially the software, were very disappointing. I bought my first Scansnap because of the quick succession of scanning documents. That is "no longer" due to the "automatic" scan function that apparently cannot be switched off. You now have to press OK after scanning each individual document, sometimes this can be done quickly via an Enter, but sometimes it only works via the mouse. With those unnecessary actions, the speed is gone. Another disadvantage is that if you want to scan receipts, the device chooses to scan only 1 side. This even goes so far that if a receipt is in the scanner the wrong way around, a white document is delivered. But beware, that's not all: if you have made an [important] note on the back of a receipt, it will NOT be scanned - because it is a receipt. Yes, that means that you now have to check your equipment, the scanner and your laptop, on the work done to see if they have done their job together properly. Terrible. In my view, the computer checks me, my job is not to check the computer and the peripherals. Thanks Scansnap for the lost notes. But now it is the end of October 2024 and now the "new" device is showing the necessary quirks again. The device thinks that there is already a document in the manual feed, while that is not the case. After this thought, the device does nothing more. This one can also go on the waste mountain. But this is half a year after I bought this new one. I think that is going too far. In summary: this used to be a nice scanner but it is nothing anymore, well, it is a device with a lot of quirks and it eats up my time and attention.

I needed a scanner ASAP. Not only did Amazon deliver the same day, but the ease of use of ScanSnap (after a rough start-up) was exactly what I needed. The scanner is genuinely portable and compact. The online app is user-friendly. I did have issues with connecting, but honestly, it might be my device or user error. For the price point and my functional needs — I highly recommend!!

Did my research and decided on the ScanSnap iX1300 and I am very happy with this purchase. The scanner is small, unobtrusive, easy to set up, I ran a 10-page test document within minutes of unpacking the scanner. Excellent page feeder, no snags, beautiful scan quality. This is saving me so much time during the busy work seasons. Note: I am a Mac user and some reviews stated it was difficult to set up and glitchy. I did not experience any of that, it has been working smoothly since Day 1.

This works and works well, whether text or images. In fact, as an image scanner it works much better than I anticipated, coming near to purpose-dedicated flatbed scanners. The only downside I can figure is that it can possibly feed a little crooked, which a flatbed would allow you to adjust and re-scan. However, it really does feed pretty accurately and that downside is a small risk.

I have had this scanner for about 6 months. it is fast and easy to use. The best feature and why I brought it was for the duplex scanning which is very fast. I have used the scanner feature of ink jet copy and scanners for long time and after various issues I decided to get a standalone. the first one (different vendor) didn't work so I was suspect on another one. Nevertheless I got this one. in addition to the scanning abilities, the footprint is small and doesn't take up a large space. About a month ago my computer stopped working during a scan. after several attempts to restart and had to call the service desk for help. The operator was very very patient and worked to get me started again. Therefore the product as well as the service is outstanding.

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

Great!

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.

The best

No obvious from the listing that this will be shipped to the UK form Overseas. Arrives with a non -UK power plug
