ScanSnap iX500 for desktop scanning
The Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 is a new duplex document scanner built around a CIS sensor and 3-colour LED light source. It targets offices and home workers who need fast double-sided capture of paper up to 8.5 by 14.17 inches. A USB 3.0 port and IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi give two ways to connect without extra cables. The 6.62 lb chassis fits on a typical desk at 11.5 by 6.2 by 6.6 inches.
25 ppm duplex speed at 300 dpi
The single specification that decides fit is the rated throughput: 25 pages per minute in normal mode at colour 150 dpi or monochrome 300 dpi, simplex or duplex. Best mode reaches 600 dpi colour at the same 25 ppm, while excellent mode drops to 7 ppm for 600 dpi colour and 1200 dpi monochrome. Buyers who need sustained high-resolution archival runs above 7 ppm will find the throughput insufficient.
Bundled software enables searchable PDFs
The included ScanSnap suite adds one-touch scanning, automatic image rotation, blank-page removal and OCR that creates searchable PDFs. A dedicated mobile app lets the scanner send files directly to iOS or Android devices over Wi-Fi. Users who only want raw image files without OCR or cloud routing can bypass the software and pull TWAIN or ISIS data through the USB 3.0 link.

Questions about this item
What does 25 ppm at 150 dpi mean for everyday scanning jobs?
The scanner captures 25 single- or double-sided A4 pages per minute in normal mode at 150 dpi colour or greyscale and 300 dpi monochrome.
How fast is the USB 3.0 connection in practice?
The USB 3.0 port transfers data at up to 5 Gbit/s, so a 25 ppm scan stream moves to the PC without bottleneck.
Will the 11.5" x 6.2" x 6.6" footprint fit on a shallow desk shelf?
The unit measures 11.5 inches deep, 6.2 inches wide and 6.6 inches high, so it needs at least that much clear surface area.
