Description
The ScanSnap iX1600 suits a home office or small team that wants to clear paper from the desk and find it again digitally. Load a stack, choose a touchscreen profile and scan both sides in one pass. Up to 30 profiles let you keep different destinations and settings ready for receipts, correspondence and shared office tasks.
ScanSnap Home brings scanning and organization into one application, including searchable PDF creation. Wi-Fi offers flexible placement, while USB provides a direct computer connection. This is the black iX1600 with a 50-sheet feeder; its compact body closes between sessions, with extra desk depth needed when the paper trays are open.
Features
- Single-pass duplex: captures both sides without manually turning a stack over.
- Touchscreen profiles: select repeat jobs from the 4.3-inch color display instead of recreating settings.
- Two connection choices: Wi-Fi or USB connects the scanner to a compatible scanning workflow.
- Searchable documents: ScanSnap Home can add recognized text to PDFs so you can search their contents.
- Paper-feed checks: ultrasonic overlap detection and length detection help identify multiple sheets feeding together.

Choose where your scans go
Before converting a large archive, scan a small sample and check page order, legibility and destination. Keep original documents when you still need the physical copy, and back up your digital files separately.

|---|---|
| Shared scanner | Give frequent jobs distinct profile names so users can pick the right destination. |

Common questions
Can it scan without a computer?
Yes, after setup, supported ScanSnap Cloud workflows can send scans directly over Wi-Fi. A cloud account, internet connection and a supported destination are required.
Will it work inside my TWAIN scanning application?
The iX1600 uses its own ScanSnap driver and does not provide TWAIN or ISIS. Check this before buying for software that requires those interfaces.
Can it scan receipts and photographs?
Yes. Match the loading method to the original; use an appropriate optional carrier sheet for fragile items. It is a sheet-fed scanner, so a bound book cannot be placed on a glass bed.
Which computers are supported?
Check the current ScanSnap Home support list for your exact operating system and processor before ordering. Software support changes independently of the scanner hardware.
