Fujitsu Unveils the World's Lightest and Fastest Wireless Scanner - Introducing the ScanSnap iX100 Mobile Scanner

Equipped with Built-In Battery and Wi-Fi Connectivity, ScanSnap iX100 Enables Anywhere, Anytime Scanning to Your Computer, Smartphone and Tablet

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --  Fujitsu, the market leader in document imaging scanners, today introduced the latest addition to its award-winning ScanSnap product lineup, the completely wireless ScanSnap iX100. The new mobile scanner is the world's lightest and fastest ScanSnap with a built-in rechargeable lithium battery for untethered anywhere, anytime scanning. Weighing in at just over 14 ounces, the iX100 scans a color document at nearly 5.2 seconds per page at 300dpi with a simple push of a button. And for the ultimate mobile experience, the ScanSnap iX100 is equipped with both USB and Wi-Fi connectivity options for scanning at home, in the office or on the road.

Equipped with the same revolutionary "GI" image processor technology in the ScanSnap iX500 desktop scanner, the ScanSnap iX100 enables users to quickly transmit searchable PDF or JPEG files such as receipts, business documents, bills, business cards, and plastic ID cards directly to a Windows or Mac computer, as well as iOS, Android(TM) and Kindle Fire mobile devices.

Utilizing the free "ScanSnap Connect" app on a mobile device or tablet, anyone can connect to the scanner through Direct Connect mode by selecting the iX100 as the Wi-Fi network and immediately begin scanning crystal clear images to their device. At home or in the office, users can connect to an existing wireless access point, or simply connect via the iX100 Direct Connect mode if there isn't a traditional Wi-Fi network available. Watch the tutorial videos below to see just how versatile the wireless technology is inside the iX100 to easily save documents to a computer or quickly scan them to a mobile device:

    --  At home or in the office: Connect via the Wi-Fi provided by a
        traditional in-home or office access point to the computer or to a
        mobile device.
    --  On the road: Through Direct Connect mode, the scanner acts as the access
        point that enables scanning in any location in the absence of a
        traditional Wi-Fi network in the environment.
The "ScanSnap Connect" app can be downloaded in the iTunes App Store and Google Play Store, as well as the Amazon App Store for Kindle Fire.

"The ultimate goal with the new ScanSnap iX100 is to meet the needs of our customers at the intersection of mobility and productivity, while providing all of the intuitive document imaging capabilities that our customers have come to expect from the ScanSnap product line," said Scott Francis, senior vice president of marketing, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. "From its built-in battery and Wi-Fi connectivity to its receipt and business card scanning capabilities, the ScanSnap iX100 gives customers the most flexible mobile scanning solution for anywhere, anytime scanning to a computer, smartphone or tablet."

Additional ScanSnap iX100 Productivity Features
The ScanSnap iX100 is geared to meet the needs of today's ever-changing on-the-go lifestyle by providing the same easy-to-use one-button scanning solution with advanced imaging technology that customers have come to expect with ScanSnap. These new and innovative features of the iX100 give consumers and business professionals additional intuitive productivity tools:

    --  Dual Scan: The ScanSnap iX100 is able to feed more than one small
        document at a time so that users can be more efficient and productive
        when scanning several business cards or receipts.
    --  Automatic Document Stitching: Documents larger than legal size(1), such
        as charts and diagrams, can be easily scanned and stitched together.
        Simply fold the documents in half, scan both sides, and the iX100 will
        automatically stitch it back together, producing a one-page image.
    --  Battery Powered: The iX100 includes a built-in rechargeable lithium
        battery capable of scanning up to 260 sheets(2) continuously and when
        fully charged.
    --  Multiple Document Feeding Options: With an adjustable two-way paper
        path, the ScanSnap iX100 is able to support a wide range of documents
        such as plastic cards, IDs or thick stock straight through. When in
        tight or cluttered workspaces, the U-turn path returns scanned documents
        upward back to the waiting hand of the operator.
    --  Continuous Document Feeding (CDF): Utilizing the scanner's Continuous
        Document Feeding (CDF) capability, users are able to scan several pages
        very quickly. Simply press the scan button on the first page and then
        insert each remaining sheet into the guide to have iX100 automatically
        feed them through.
