Bar Code Scanner For Chromebook

Holds Bar code reader very firmly, in places that are hard to get to.

I ordered the IX1300 after reading a lot of the reviews. I already had an IX500, but needed a second high speed scanner. I already had the IX500 working with my Chromebook so I figured adding the 1300 would be easy. It was not apparent or easy. A Chromebook is still new enough that installation is not necessarily a regular occurance. I ended up calling the Scansnap installation hotline. They were prompt and very helpful. After a little delving into seldom used settings and downloading a new software package we got it to work fine. The scanner itself works very well and takes up very little room on my desktop. I also plan to transport it from time to time as it is small and compact. I had to scan a 16 X 11 document. I tried using the IX500 document sleeve. The IX1300 has it's own so it wouldn't let me do that. However, just loading the document via the front slot worked fine with no sleeve needed. All it all a very nice package.

Perfect scanner for home office or small business - exactly what we needed. Some of the features that sets this scanner apart and very suitable for daily use is - (1) receipt scanning and integration with popular expense management software (reduces so much manual work and errors) (2) multiple paper size support so that small receipts to A4 printouts can be scanned in one go (3) feeding tray that makes scanning a breeze (unlike flatbed scanners where we needed to load documents one by one) and (4) duplex scanning - is a ultimate time saver for scanning two sided documents. Combined with paper tray, you can scan multiple page two sided documents in one go and do not have to go through merge operations like we had to with non-duplex capable scanners. On the "non functional" side, the scanner is zippy! It is quite fast at 600dpi. Another big convenience enhancer and time saver is its network capability where it sits on the network ready to scan. The fact that, instead of some kind of proprietary protocol it seems to follow network scanning standards. There are multiple advantages of this. First of all, I was able to setup using my iPhone instead of going through a full PC install and USB connector. Once wifi is setup on the device, I was able to scan documents from my PC, iPhone, Android device and even my Chromebook! For me, Chromebook compatibility was a pleasant surprise (photos attached). We have used scanners before that have a proprietary app and work on mobile devices, but this is the first scanner that simply was recognized and worked out of the box with a Chromebook that we use quite a bit.

This is a review for the Epson RapidReceipt RR-400W Wireless scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

The two color system is a pleasure to work with and the bar code function makes it so much easier for inventory control

Great stand for desktop use. Only one drawback is that bar code label took some work to remove.

Purchased this to use for positioning bar code readers, sensors etc to allow us to design permanent mounting fixtures for the devices on nachinery.

It seems well-made my Chromebook looks comfy in it.

I use this in school and my chromebook hasn't chattered.

Fits my 5 year old's chromebook well and seems to be sturdy enough.
