ScanSnap iX2500 good replacement for Fujitsu fi-6130z
I originally ordered the ScanSnap iX1600 sheet fed scanner but then realized that it was used and would soon become non-eligible for manufacturer repairs. I sent it back and then ordered the ScanSnap iX2500 which is the new replacement for the iX1600. The iX2500 is brand new, comes with full warranty and hopefully won't become outdated soon. As a bonus, the new iX2500 was priced lower than the iX1600! (I switched to the ScanSnap iX2500 because my trusty Fujitsu fi-6130z is not supported by my recent upgrade from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11 Pro.)The ScanSnap iX2500 arrived within 1 day and was easy to set up. (Download the installation files from Fujitsu first - you will be taken to a RICOH website via a link on the Fujitsu site.) Setup was easy just by following the prompts on the scanner, but YouTube videos are also easily found and are helpful for novices. I set the new scanner up on my Windows 11 Pro tower this morning and so far no error codes on the computer and the scan process is much faster than the fi-6130z (which I still have connected to my Windows 10 Pro machine as a backup.)I have been using PaperPort since the days of my first HP ScanJet flatbed scanner (mid 1990's) and the current version is 14.5. Unfortunately, the ScanSnap iX2500 does not use a TWAIN driver like the fi-6130z did, so scanning into PaperPort requires a few extra steps. For those using PaperPort who wish to have seamless transfer of the scanned file into any PaperPort folder, the TWAIN driver can be downloaded as a free trial to insure compatibility with your scanner and then can be purchased at snaptwain.com to get full functionality. Although pricey, this addition is worth it to me.The ScanSnap iX2500 fits nicely on my desk. It actually takes up a little less room than the fi- 6130z. I am using my scanner hard wired with the supplied USB cable, but wireless connection to your network and integration with smart phones is an option during setup and doesn't look complicated.Scan quality is excellent whether using the downloaded ScanSnap Home software or PaperPort 14.5. Photo image quality is excellent and the speed is much faster than what I have been used to. I also installed the free ABBYY FineReader PDF / OCR software downloaded from the RICOH website, but have not had a chance to try it yet.Ver másVer menos
