iX1600 - The Most Powerful ScanSnap Scanner

[@knightingify]

Note that if you want to use any cloud features (like syncing to DropBox) you are required to register a ScanSnap account. Per the privacy policy they do share your data with 'affiliates' and they may disclose your data to ANY third party for a variety of reasons based on their sole discretion, such as several subjective reasons like 'safety of the general public' or for 'other measures against improper acts'. It sad that in this current day we, the general consumer, can not simply buy a piece of hardware and use its features without the company requiring us to waive our rights to privacy.

For those concerned about following federal laws like HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), where one can be fined hundreds of thousands of dollars for breeching the privacy of just one patient, ScanSnap is really risky.

Seriously? That’s crazy! Good to know.

The first thing I would scan with the Scansnap iX1600 Scanner are the many pages of personal journals and other writings I have penned over the years, in order to compile them into publishable works some day.

I've used a Fujitsu ix1400 (predecessor owner) for a number of years now. I see that Ricoh supports Linux, though only Debian based Ubuntu 18.04 is the highest version supported. They are a bit behind since the LTS version at Ubuntu has been bumped up to 24.04 now.

Can it scan F4 size?

Can you directly connect to a USB Flash Drive and scan your documents into the Flash Drive? Or do you need a computer to act as a "middleman"?

Can you connect it directly to a computer with a USB cable?

[@nathanjamesbaker]

Yes, you can.

So only 300 dpi for color? Wow

[@michaelkiese7794]

The dpi for color photos is up to 600 dpi. I looked it up on the Amazon description.
