Advanced Paper Feeding System

ix500-roller-20140529g

Inheriting the superior paper feeding technology of our professional-grade scanners, iX500 achieves exceptional feeding reliability using “Separation Roller” technology to minimize jams and multi-feeds.

Advanced Paper Detection

ScanSnap iX500 is equipped with an ultrasonic sensor that can be turned on to help operators avoid losing images. What’s more, an interactive interface allows users to easily bypass intentional double-feed such as a taped-receipt on an expense report.
