Fujitsu will be mailing a shiny new ScanSnap iX500 to Texas lawyer Jeb Loveless (@JebLoveless), winner of our ScanSnap iX500 giveaway in the LAB.
Condolences to everyone else, but thanks for the excellent haikus! (And a couple of neat Vines, like this one.)
Stay tuned and sharpen your Vine skills. We’ll be giving away another scanner in the near future …
Let’s keep this short and to the point. The Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 Sam just reviewed is the best scanner. We love it, and so will you, which is why you should enter our giveaway. All you have to do is visit the giveaway thread in the Lawyerist forum, the LAB, and follow our goofy instructions.
(n.b., You can do better than the haikus submitted so far. Sheesh.)

The ScanSnap iX500 once again proves Fujitsu knows how to do desktop scanners better than everyone else. The iX500 improves the best features of its predecessor, and adds some killer new ones, like the ability to scan to any mobile device straight from the scanner, with no computer required.
The ScanSnap iX500 keeps Fujitsu at the top of our top picks for scanners. Here’s why.
The brand-new Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 ( here’s the press release) looks like it will once again raise the bar for compact desktop document scanners — before the competition has even caught up.
The big upgrade from the ScanSnap s1500 is the ability to scan without a computer. The iX500 has a built-in image processor and wi-fi, you can scan to memory or to a nearby mobile device. And Fujitsu provides its own app, so you don’t have to wrestle with Eye-Fi.
It’s a bit faster, too, at 25 ppm, and you can read about the other upgrades, like multi-feed detection and more-reliable paper-picking on the iX500 product page.
We’ve got a review unit on the way, and we’ll let you know if the iX500 is good enough to keep a ScanSnap at the top of our best scanner picks.
The Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 is “made for” Windows, and the S1500M is “made for” Mac. What that really means is that they are different colors and ship with the appropriate version of Acrobat.
However, if you switch from Windows to Mac, you may not want to buy a new scanner. Easy enough; you just need the Mac version of ScanSnap Manager, and your S1500 (no M necessary) will work just fine. You don’t even need a copy of Acrobat, I suppose because a Mac has PDF support built-in.
Clio just announced that ScanSnap users can now scan to Clio just by pushing the scan button, connecting your desktop scanner to the cloud. That’s pretty cool technology, especially considering the ScanSnap has been the scanner of choice for a few years now.
Whether because of the ScanSnap‘s popularity or because so many businesses are going paperless, there were a lot of new options for desktop and portable document scanners on display at TechShow. Fujitsu came offering new features, and HP and Canon brought new scanners targeted at solos and small firms.
See our Law Technology Buyer's Guide for our top technology recommendations.
The Doxie Go ultraportable document scanner is a game-changer for anyone who needs to scan documents on the go. That is because the Doxie Go is completely self-sufficient. Unlike, say, the ScanSnap S1100, you can leave your laptop at home and toss the Doxie Go in your bag by itself.
The LAB jumped to more than 900 members over Thanksgiving weekend, and we want to give back! As soon as we hit 1,000 members, we are going to give away a Fujitsu ScanSnap S1100 in the LAB! This is Fujitsu’s forget-you-have-it-in-your-bag tiny portable scanner, sure to make client site visits more productive and opposing counsel green with envy.
I’ll draw the name from a hat as soon as we hit 1,000 members, so join now to enter yourself in the contest. Once you log into the LAB, visit the ScanSnap S1100 Giveaway! thread to enter your name.

“Hi, When will you be reviewing the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i?”
by Sam Glover on June 28, 2012 in Legal Technology
Commenter Shaun Benater asks “Hi, When will you be reviewing the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i? I look forward to reading your review.”
We already reviewed the S1300, so I followed up with a Fujitsu rep, who told me what the i stands for. Here is the answer:
In short, the i is quite a bit faster, and the software has been upgraded. While you can’t get the speed without buying a new ScanSnap S1300i, you can get the new software updates for your current ScanSnap.
