Unrivalled scanning performance!

The ScanSnap iX500 for PC and Mac environments scans at up to 25 pages per minute or 50 images per minute in colour, grayscale, or black & white at an impressive 300 dpi resolution. Stack up to 50 pages into the automatic document feeder (ADF) and press the "SCAN" button to scan both sides of each page in a single pass. The iX500 will automatically detect and scan in black and white or colour, will recognize the size of each document and scan accordingly, will detect and correct for skew, will show images in their proper orientation with blank pages removed and will also reduce bleed through. All these intuitive functions help ensure that the first scan is the best scan and minimise operator involvement.

The iX500 comes with an inbuilt dual core CPU that enhances scanning performance even further. This ‘GI’ processor’ allows for scanning via WiFi to your PC* or Mac*, tablet or mobile device without the need for a host computer. It maintains the quoted scanning speeds even if the target device suffers from low memory or poor connectivity and with USB 3.0 support as standard you get a performance that you’d expect from a high speed, high volume device. Additionally creating searchable pdf’s is further enhanced through this new engine.
Scan your everyday documents from business card to A3 size (A3 possible with the use of the bundled carrier sheet) and then view, file, edit or distribute your digitised data.
*Online update to access this function required/Scanning speed may be reduced due to the network environment used/Only one computer can be registered for Wi-Fi connection

Intelligent Paper-Feeding and Detection
ScanSnap iX500 is equipped with a multi-feed detection sensor that can be turned on to help you avoid losing images. What's more, an interactive interface allows users to easily and quickly bypass intentional double-feeds such as a taped-receipt on an expense report or even a sticky note.
Inheriting the paper feeding technology that has been a feature of our award winning and market leading “fi Series” scanners, the iX500 incorporates a document separation method that uses “brake rollers”. Additionally using ultrasonic sensors that continuously check for double feeds and check for and easily bypass intentional double-feeds such as a taped receipt on an expense report or sticky note the iX500 ensures that you can scan quickly and reliable with the upmost confidence.

Quick Menu Productivity
The Quick Menu allows you to quickly transition between different scanning intentions. Just press the scan button and choose what you want ScanSnap to do. QuickMenu has been additionally enhanced so that now it can be set up to display your ‘Favourite’ scanning destinations or ‘Recommend’ an application for example if you are scanning a business card it could ‘Recommend’ CardMinder.
