5.0 out of 5 stars ScanSnap iX2500 good replacement for Fujitsu fi-6130z

2026-01-04    -Amazon Customer

I originally ordered the ScanSnap iX1600 sheet fed scanner but then realized that it was used and would soon become non-eligible for manufacturer repairs. I sent it back and then ordered the ScanSnap iX2500 which is the new replacement for the iX1600. The iX2500 is brand new, comes with full warranty and hopefully won't become outdated soon. As a bonus, the new iX2500 was priced lower than the iX1600! (I switched to the ScanSnap iX2500 because my trusty Fujitsu fi-6130z is not supported by my recent upgrade from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11 Pro.)The ScanSnap iX2500 arrived within 1 day and was easy to set up. (Download the installation files from Fujitsu first - you will be taken to a RICOH website via a link on the Fujitsu site.) Setup was easy just by following the prompts on the scanner, but YouTube videos are also easily found and are helpful for novices. I set the new scanner up on my Windows 11 Pro tower this morning and so far no error codes on the computer and the scan process is much faster than the fi-6130z (which I still have connected to my Windows 10 Pro machine as a backup.)I have been using PaperPort since the days of my first HP ScanJet flatbed scanner (mid 1990's) and the current version is 14.5. Unfortunately, the ScanSnap iX2500 does not use a TWAIN driver like the fi-6130z did, so scanning into PaperPort requires a few extra steps. For those using PaperPort who wish to have seamless transfer of the scanned file into any PaperPort folder, the TWAIN driver can be downloaded as a free trial to insure compatibility with your scanner and then can be purchased at snaptwain.com to get full functionality. Although pricey, this addition is worth it to me.The ScanSnap iX2500 fits nicely on my desk. It actually takes up a little less room than the fi- 6130z. I am using my scanner hard wired with the supplied USB cable, but wireless connection to your network and integration with smart phones is an option during setup and doesn't look complicated.Scan quality is excellent whether using the downloaded ScanSnap Home software or PaperPort 14.5. Photo image quality is excellent and the speed is much faster than what I have been used to. I also installed the free ABBYY FineReader PDF / OCR software downloaded from the RICOH website, but have not had a chance to try it yet.

I bought the ix2500 Photo Edition to tackle a mountain of old photos, and the decision was straightforward. Most other batch scanners in this price range had troubling reviews—scratched prints, skewed images, and outdated designs. The ix2500 stood out as the newest model, and while Ricoh’s website and virtual assistant were no help in deciphering the four ScanSnap options, I went with the most expensive version and hoped for the best.Fortunately, it was the right call. After scanning over 1,000 photos, not a single one has been scratched or misaligned. The scanner handles up to 50 photos at a time with impressive speed, and it doesn’t flinch at mixed sizes or orientations in a single batch. Both the Wi-Fi and USB connections work without problem on Windows 11.While the 600 DPI resolution might not satisfy ultra-high-end needs, it’s perfectly suited for standard 20th-century photo prints and more than sufficient for viewing on modern screens and TVs. It’s also in line with what you’d expect at this price point for batch scanners.The software, however, leaves something to be desired. It’s functional, but the automatic color correction doesn’t quite match the quality of Photoshop Elements, so I use PSE for that step. It’s an extra click or two, but well worth it. My biggest gripe is the user interface—changing file names and folder destinations for each batch requires digging through four or five layers of menus on four different windows. Not ideal, but manageable. Also, the automatic orientation based on face recognition does not work. It is not a practical problem since I can orient the photos in the scan tray so that they are properly positioned.The one thing missing is the ability to scan slides. The 600 DPI resolution would be marginal for that application, but it is better than nothing.

Rápido, facil de usar, portable, muy versatil

Es mi primer escáner de esta marca, eh usado otros de la misma marca pero ya modelos pasados, pero su versatilidad en su programa para escanear en muy sencillo de aprender, anteriormente escaneaba con mi impresora, gran cambio con este equipo, ahorras mucho tiempo.
