Major update for ScanSnap iX2500: new ScanSnap Go feature enables personalised scanning just by holding your smartphone near the scanner.

PFU Limited has released a major update for the flagship model of its ScanSnap series of image scanners, the ScanSnap iX2500, which digitises documents quickly with one touch.

This update introduces the ScanSnap Go feature*, which allows users to instantly enjoy their own personalised scanning experience with any iX2500 by simply holding a smartphone close to it – ideal for shared offices, hot-desking environments and other flexible workspaces.

With a tap, your customised scan profile settings appear on the scanner’s touchscreen (including your usual destinations they are set up to scan to), allowing any iX2500 to function as your own personal scanner, transcending time, location and device.

This allows you to quickly and easily use iX2500 units across different locations, on another floor or a shared office. In addition, ScanSnap Go makes it easier to share the scanner among family members.

*ScanSnap Go is available in the latest firmware update of ScanSnap Home for Mobile.

Features

Simply bring your smartphone close to instantly connect to any iX2500 with your own scan settings.

If you already use an iX2500, ScanSnap Go will temporarily connect your smartphone to the iX2500 when you bring it close. The same settings you usually use will appear on the scanner touch panel. This means you can instantly use any iX2500 anywhere with the same feel as your usual ScanSnap iX2500. Once disconnected, user information is cleared from the iX2500 unit itself, ensuring security.

The ScanSnap Go feature makes scanning more convenient for both business and home use.

  • Scan with the iX2500 located at the branch office you visit while on a business trip

  • Scan documents instantly at trade shows

  • Scan at home quickly with your own settings without switching users
