Spend less time on naming files
ScanSnap Home uses the text, such as shop and company names, found on your scanned documents to recommend file names. Not only does accuracy of information extraction increase the more you scan, but edits made to file names are learned for later naming suggestions.
Spend less time on correcting files
Corrections made to company names attributed to scanned business cards, for instance, are reflected on successive scans with the same attributed company, allowing you to bypass the hassle of repetitive post-scan operations.
Spend less time on finding files
Scanned data is automatically recognized and grouped into four categories: documents, receipts, business cards and photos. No need to be concerned about spending time on sorting data by yourself.
The software helps you quickly search through large volumes of data with keyword search. Recognition of information in both PDF and JPEG formats as well as creation of folders and tags enables you to find information you need easier than before.
Optimized workflow for your usage with profile icons
Since you can create a profile of frequently used preferences on the ScanSnap Home, scanning process can be done just by choosing a profile and clicking "Scan" button.
The ability to rotate and edit scanned images prior to sending to "ScanSnap to Folder", "ScanSnap to Email", "ScanSnap to Print", further enhances efficiency.
In addition, with "Quick Menu" profile, you can choose destination and operation after scanning.
The ScanSnap Home provides optimized scanning workflow depending on your preferences.
Mix and match your devices and scanners
Use your ScanSnap scanners on an unlimited number of devices. Whether you are in the office or at home, you can choose your most suitable device for the situation, all using ScanSnap Home.

Temporary switch settings quickly from Scan window / Touch panel

Customized scanning profiles will not always address immediate scanning needs and you may want to make minor adjustments from time to time. In times like this, make temporary setting adjustments from the 4 small buttons next to the big Scan button. These settings will only apply for a single batch so that there is no need to worry about these minor changes impacting future scans.
What's more, with iX1600 equipped with its big touch screen, you can temporarily switch to Manual Feed mode by pressing the Scan button for 3 seconds. Ability to quickly switch between scanning mode enables flexible scanning of mixed batches.
