This is very convenient, as most users already carry such a cable in their go bags. No special adaptors or power supplies are needed. My favorite part about this mobile scanner is that it can be charged by a standard USB to 6micro-USB cable. According to Fujitsu, the iX100 can continuously scan about 260 sheets on a single charge and about 140–160 per charge for normal casual operation. I was able to tote the scanner around in my bag for about a week on a single charge doing causal scanning of business cards and handouts at meetings (watching jaws drop on clients was secretly pleasurable). The iX100 battery lasts surprisingly long when you consider the speed, power and compact footprint of the scanner. If some sales person hands you a letter sized folded brochure with an image that crosses the centerfold, simply fold the pages backwards and scan both sides - the iX100 automatically stitches the pages back together. Another amazing feature of the iX100 is the Automatic Image Stitching. This scanner is so fast with its continuous document feed mode that you can scan a page, flip it over, scan the second side and auto-process the documents faster than most competing duplex scanners. The small footprint of the iX100 means it is a simplex scanner, but don't let that sway you if you're used to duplex scanners. Gone are the days of trash and rescans and manual image manipulation after scanning a pile of documents. The Secret Sauceįujitsu's custom GI Processor is amazingly fast at intelligently making all the adjustments and corrections that have plagued scanners up until now. The continuous document feed (CDF} saves time by allowing the user to keep feeding documents to the scanner, letting the Auto Deskew, Auto Orientation, Auto Color and Auto Paper Size Detection features do the work. The Dual Scan mode of the iX100 meant I was able to feed business cards into the scanner one after another without pause and from any position on the paper feed - even without waiting for the previous card to completely exit the flat path. With a quick press of the scan button on the app, the scanner woke up and started to purr. Having recently returned from a business training trip, I had a pretty nice stack of business cards, flyers and receipts I wanted to capture. Returning to the ScanSnap Connect Application, I saw that the scanner was discovered, connected and ready to scan. Login information for this private WiFi network is found on the bottom of the scanner. Within a few seconds the scanner was ready to go and was emitting a private WiFi SSID that my iPhone and iPad were able to connect to via the standard iOS WiFi settings menu. To power on the iX100, the paper feed door is opened to activate the Direct Connect mode there is a small WiFi toggle switch on the back of the scanner. Initially I installed the ScanSnap Connect Application and launched it. Getting the scanner to work with my iPhone and iPad were amazingly easy. I wanted the test the "no PC needed" mode of the iX100 and decided to do a mobile only setup first. In the box was the scanner, a USB cable, Setup DVD and documentation. Construction seemed pretty sturdy and up to par with previous Fujitsu ScanSnap products. Measuring in at a svelte 10.74 x 1.87 x 1.42 inches and weighing just a hair over 14 ounces, this scanner is small. Upon receiving the ScanSnap iX100 I immediately tore into the box and was pleasantly surprised by the extremely compact size of the device.
