SUNNYVALE, Calif.,  Jan. 30, 2013  /PRNewswire/ -- Fujitsu, the market leader in
document imaging scanners, today announced it will showcase the newest addition
to its award-winning ScanSnap product lineup - the next generation ScanSnap
iX500 featuring built-in Wi-Fi connectivity giving customers the ability to scan
directly to their iOS compatible devices1, at the  Macworld/iWorld Conference
and Expo,  January 31-February 2  in  San Francisco. Fujitsu will be giving live
demonstrations of the ScanSnap iX500, with partners Evernote and Mariner
Software showcasing their integrated solutions, at booth #610.  

The new ScanSnap iX500 is enhanced with faster scanning speeds, a new advanced
feeding system, an intelligent and customizable Quick Menu, and functionality
allowing users to easily scan to cloud-based services such as Evernote, Google
Docs, Dropbox, SugarSync and Salesforce. The ScanSnap iX500 also comes equipped
with a revolutionary "GI" image processor2  inside the scanner so users can
instantly scan and transmit PDF or JPEG files, to their mobile devices without
the use of a computer.  

Utilizing the free "ScanSnap Connect" app on their mobile device or tablet,
ScanSnap users achieve a whole new level of convenience in scanning; literally
from the palm of their hand. The "ScanSnap Connect" app can be downloaded in the
iTunes  App Store  or Google Play Store and can be used with both the iPad and
iPhone running iOS 4.3 or later and Android compatible tablets and smartphones
running OS 2.23.

Enhanced with USB 3.0 connectivity, the ScanSnap iX500 provides the same
easy-to-use one-button scanning and advanced imaging technology that customers
have come to expect with ScanSnap. Additional new and innovative features of the
ScanSnap iX500 include:

* Faster Scanning Performance:  Utilizing the increased power of its engine and
"GI" image processor, the iX500 can create PDF files at speeds of up to 25
double-sided color pages per minute (300dpi, color) -- that's 25 percent faster
than its predecessor.  
* Advanced Document Feeding System:  Inheriting the superior paper feeding
technology driving the higher-end scanners from Fujitsu, the iX500 achieves
exceptional feeding reliability using enhanced "Separation Roller" technology to
maximize feeding reliability across an even wider range of documents and
scanning situations.  
* Customizable Quick Menu:  For additional convenience and flexibility, the
ScanSnap Quick Menu is fully customizable and automatically appears after
scanning providing a quick and easy way to send those scanned documents to
several popular "Scan-To" applications. Furthermore, the Quick Menu incorporates
new intelligence that anticipates the appropriate application while keeping
users in the driver's seat for easy and faithful disposition of content.       
* Cloud Services Support:  Users can scan documents directly to Evernote, Google
Docs, Dropbox, SugarSync and Salesforce Chatter from their Mac or PC, giving
them even more flexibility to store, share and access their paperwork. Whether
it is scanning contracts, bills, invoices, or business cards on the road or
using a PC in one place and a Mac in another, consumers have the necessary tools
to be even more productive and paperless virtually anywhere.  
* Efficient Business Card Scanning:  Mac users can conveniently scan their
business cards and export the contact information directly to Address Book or
Outlook for Mac. While PC users can capture a business card, extract the
information automatically and export it to Outlook, Excel, Salesforce and other
contact management software.
