Fujitsu ScanSnap IX500 Deluxe document scanner (accessory)

Customer Review

This scanner is very fast and can scan both sides of a sheet in one pass, recognize blank pages (and leave) process as well as very thin paper. Perfect and convincing.

The unit does not control (!) The TWAIN standard. The manufacturer declares as the fact that the device is optimized to left and right keys in the supplied software without any additional settings "reinzuscannen" while the user must manually make many settings in TWAIN. However one can also integrate other (NOT PROVIDED) programs to which the scans are passed, they master it, to cause a work mitübergebenen document name at program start. But I have not tried it yet. Perfect would actually be when the scanner dominated both.

Deduction, namely clear, there is for the software "CardMinder" (on the Mac tested). Although these first reads business cards prompt, simply because the scanner just very gt and is afloat. But the software is terrible, because they can not even (manually) assign a gender, first and last name separated and the address will be sorted only in "ZIP" and "Address", where, in the address street, house number, zip code again city ​​and country are summarized. Each time you pass that on "contacts", verschindet tw. the "Address" and is unusable for lack Feldauftrennung anyway.

Since scanners and software is the manufacturer a bundle, one the (unintelligible) bad software must unfortunately be regarded as problem solving.

The scanner is so good to scan many documents that are required as a Jpeg or PDF, not recommended for card processing.

In the document processing, the OCR is not quite as good as the Acrobat-own solution. Depending on the scanner variant Acrobat XI is included, but is not integrated into the scanning workflow. After the scan, then you have to push off in a step mzweiten the Acrobat OCR which is not scriptable. It's frustrating.

Who OCR quality of the supplied solution is sufficient to have to accept, albeit a little more Dateinen. In a large number of documents in höhrerer dpi quality which is also a penalty because her unnecessarily much space is consumed.
