Description
The ScanSnap iX1400 is built around a simple routine: open the cover, load your documents and press the scan button. A direct USB connection keeps the scanner tied to one workstation, making it a practical choice for a dedicated home-office desk or regular accounts paperwork.
Its automatic feeder handles stacks of standard documents, and the two image sensors capture front and back together. ScanSnap Home helps organize the resulting files, with automatic image adjustments and searchable PDF output. Choose this model when you want the ScanSnap workflow with physical controls and computer-based file management.
Features
- One-button operation: starts your prepared scanning workflow without a touchscreen menu.
- Fast two-sided capture: scans at up to 40 sheets or 80 page images per minute in the rated modes.
- 50-sheet feeder: reduces individual page handling for everyday paper stacks.
- Automatic image cleanup: supports page rotation, deskewing, color detection and blank-page removal.
- Multifeed detection: ultrasonic and length checks help flag overlapping pages.
- USB workflow: connects directly to the computer used to review and save your scans.

A simple paper-to-file routine
For oversized or delicate originals, check the supported carrier-sheet method instead of forcing them through the feeder. Leave clear space in front of the scanner for the output tray and emerging pages.

|---|---|
| Capture | Use a consistent scan setting for each document type and preview the result. |

Common questions
Does the iX1400 have Wi-Fi?
No. It is a USB-connected scanner. It does not provide the touchscreen or wireless sharing workflow of the iX1600.
Can I make searchable PDFs?
Yes, using the supported ScanSnap software workflow. Optical character recognition adds a text layer; review important names and numbers because recognition is not perfect.
Can it work with an existing TWAIN application?
The iX1400 has a ScanSnap-specific driver rather than TWAIN or ISIS. Use ScanSnap Home to create files for other applications to open.
Will it work with my current Windows PC or Mac?
Consult the current ScanSnap Home requirements for your operating-system version and processor. Older datasheets list historical software support and should not be treated as a guarantee for every new computer.
