Over the past 6 months I have been looking for a more efficient and effective way of managing all the documents, receipts, business
cards, invoices, and basically all the papers that go along with owning a business.

Prior to me purchasing a document scanner I had been using my Canon MX880 which does have
many of the features of the document scanner, but doesn’t have the mobility and
database and document search features this has.

Fujitsu ScanSnap IX500
Fujitsu ScanSnap IX500
Â
I was looking for the device that had the greatest
capabilities, ease of use and compatibility with both PC and MAC. I must have
compared these two devices at least 20 times before I decided to buy one. Â The Fujitsu was a bit more expensive, but I felt
it had a better name and company behind it. I bought it from Costco where it is well priced and is very good with returns if necessary. However, i will not need to return this device.
