Scanning those accounting files took a couple of weeks, working a few hours a day. Plus a lot of time shredding. After I moved, I decided to go entirely paperless. Each scan takes a few seconds, or a couple of minutes if you have a long document. You set it to duplex scanning, and you can also check a box to have it ignore blank pages. If you have a back page that has smudges on it, sometimes it gets scanned, but you can delete them from the resulting Pdfs.
We use ours all the time at home and it handles whatever we throw at it. Great for organizing tax receipts. I have a five year old type M? Point is you have to use the it often otherwise the feedermechanism will fail en have to redo and take the papercopy out of the machine……….. I highly recommend the ix It would automatically use the ScanSnap Manager software to complete the scan, which would show up in PDF Pen with no other intervention on my part.
I can scan using the new ScanSnap Home software. Now I am wondering if ExactScan will bring back that capability? Note, I called Fujitsu. I am not sure how that is relevant since the function worked when I was running Mojave. Thanks, Joe. Since you have the Si, your model works with the new bit ScanSnap Home software and therefore works under Catalina. Very interesting!
I wonder if that implies that it would accomplish what you want? Great point. Additionally, the user interface is much easier to understand than the old Fujitsu software.
I highly recommend it. ICA is a proper device driver system to allow a common API to be used for accessing a wide variety of scanners. TWAIN, on the other hand, really is not. I think this is best explained through an example. I routinely use Photoshop Elements. When I select one, the associated application is launched. I perform the scan using that app. The only difference between the TWAIN interface and launching the app directly is that when I launch the app directly, scans are saved to files, but when I launch the app via TWAIN, scans are sent to the calling application Photoshop Elements and no files are created.
I have no idea if anybody has actually implemented such an application. Hi, and thank you for the article! The only reason this occasionally is not perfect for some S users yet, is due to their entry level scanners nature, which needs very low-level driver control to actually work and scan at all.
For all except really high-end scanners this is always done in software on the computer side. The reason I considered the JPEG print issue you raised an edge case is that most users scan PDF, the default is PDF, and one actively need to change the configuration to a combination that does not print by default on current macOS versions.
I have more trouble understanding the dismissal of the suggestion. Would that take endless time and resources? Everyone has to prioritize support inquires, and do you do a rare exotic combination, or features multiple users are asking for? The easiest certainly would be to simply gray out printing for non PDF file formats for now, but I guess then we get support inquires why users can enable printing,. The gotcha appears to be if you request to also have a copy saved to a file, in which case respecting your choice of jpeg would present the current problem again.
Well, I expect most of few users who use the printing option to actually keep the file created. IMHO it is also not the right UX design that enabling one option changes some other option somewhere else. I will likely add disabling and graying out the print option for non PDF file formats today.
My understanding is that many users do not enjoy the new Fujitsu software. Just purchased a pro license based on this discussion. I had looked at ExactScan last year, but for reasons unknown, was unable to get it to recognize my Fujitsu sm scanner.
Saw this discussion today, and was motivated to revisit this, and try to see if I could get it to work. Works exactly as expected, will hopefully buy me a few more years of use with my aging Fujitsu. Does anyone know if you can run the old bit Manager in a virtual machine on I too have the SS Home software, which they provided at no charge.
It is not as intuitive or easy to use as the prior SS software, but it gets the job done. I also have the sm and have delayed moving to Catalina because of it. I would not know how to go back to what I had and would end up worse off than I started.
Obviously you were not concerned, moved ahead and it worked. Thanks for posting as that has given me the courage to start the process! I hope the improvement of Catalina over Mojave will prove worth all the angst this have given me.
Using it mostly for documents. However, only one could bind to the scanner at a time. It has updated software and drivers, and scanning to different devices is just as simple as it used to be. And with the new model coming out, this will definitely be discounted heavily. Your email address will not be published. Skip to content Paul.
Scanning Speed The Fujitsu Scansnap ix desktop scanner scans at 25 pages per minute, color or monochrome, at dpi resolution. Paper feeding This scanner has a very advanced paper feeding system. Image Quality To achieve the desired scanning quality, Fujitsu has created 5 different scanning modes that are already configured. Auto Mode scans in simplex or duplex at 25 pages per minute.
Normal Mode scans in Colour and Grayscale at dpi. Monochrome scanning is dpi in Simplex or Duplex at 25ppm. Better Mode works in Color or Grayscale at dpi, while Monochrome dpi. Speed remains constant at 25ppm.
Best Mode in Color and Grayscale at dpi. Monochrome scanning is done at dpi and the scanner works at 25ppm. Excellent mode for high-quality scanning works at a resolution of dpi and dpi monochrome. The speed drops to 7 ppm. Fujitsu Ix vs Epsonw Epson makes a lot of scanners, and given their distribution network, they are quite popular.
