Features
Optimized user experience
ScanSnap iX1600 features an intuitive 4.3 inch touch screen for complete end to end scanning and data utilization with just one touch.
Customize to your preference
The scanner comes with up to 30 default profiles in addition to 30 customizable profiles. Customize the profile on the touch screen based on your scanning needs.

Scan anywhere you want whenever you want
Wi-Fi (2.4/5GHz*1) compatibility allows you to directly connect to your smart devices*2 or cloud services*3 without PC. While the device uses existing Wi-Fi environments in Access Point Connect Mode*4, connection is also possible in environments without Wi-Fi using Direct Connect Mode, as the scanner itself functions as an access point.
- *1 Availability may vary depending on region. 5 GHz Wi-Fi is not available with Direct Connect Mode.
- *2 The ScanSnap Connect Application is required when using smart devices.
- *3 Available services vary by region.
- *4 Access Point Connect Mode requires a Wi-Fi access point or router.
Ideal for team sharing
One scanner supports up to 4 user licenses* each allowing user profile and icon customizations. Perfect for team sharing.
*It comes with multiple software licenses: 4 for ScanSnap Home, 4 for ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap™, and 1 for Kofax (Win/Mac). Additional licenses may be purchased for ScanSnap Home.
Stress-free usability for any users
Friendly user interface enables even the most technology challenged users to scan and complete their tasks with peace of mind.
Steady and versatile paper feeding
Inheriting the Ultrasonic Sensor and the Brake Roller from our business scanners, the iX1600 continues to provide superior reliability for various paper types. Each paper is fed individually to prevent feeding errors.

Have images clean all the time
Receive notifications on the touch screen whenever Dust Detection spots dust that may result in streaked images. Maintenance notification beforehand enables you to reduce the hassle of time-consuming rescans.
Even if streaks do appear on scanned images, the Streak Reduction function removes them, reducing the hassle of time-consuming rescans

Scan receipts and much more
Reduce paper preparation even before hitting the scan button. Scan oversized or difficult documents, including envelopes, using Manual Scan Mode*. Small documents such as receipts or business cards are easily scanned using the Receipts Guide, eliminating curl or skew issues.
*Manual Scan Mode is available when using ScanSnap Home.
Best experience with ScanSnap Home
ScanSnap Home is the ultimate document management platform which combines all of your favorite functions into one. Easily manage, edit and access data from documents, business cards, receipts and photos with the software. You can scan large volumes of various types of documents from color photos to double-sided landscape documents with a host of intelligent automatic image processing functions.
Connect to ScanSnap Cloud without the PC
With ScanSnap Cloud, you can choose to scan data directly from the ScanSnap iX1600 to your favorite cloud service without a computer or mobile device. The software automatically recognizes and organizes your file type by documents, receipts, business cards and photos, and sends it to the appropriate cloud based on your pre-set profiles. You simply need to select a profile that is set to connect to ScanSnap Cloud and press the Scan button on the iX1600's touch screen. Your scanned data can then be managed within your selected cloud service.
