Use any iX2500 as your personal iX2500

The iX2500 is the perfect companion in this era of diverse and flexible work styles.

Operate from the large 5-inch touch screen, even without a PC or smartphone
The scanner comes with a large 5-inch capacitive screen with improved response, enabling intuitive operation of the scanner. You can view scan profiles that were created on your PC or smartphone as visual icons on the touch screen. Once a scan profile has been made on a PC or smartphone and imported to the scanner, you only need to operate the touch screen to save data directly to a cloud service, or to send data via email. In addition, you can easily switch users on the touch screen to display your settings and icons. This makes it easy to share the scanner between colleagues and family members.

Comfortable scanning with ultra high speed performance and large capacity

High performance as a flagship model
The iX2500 thrives at 45 ppm and can hold up to 100 A4 sheets at a time. Even when the Receipt Guide is installed, 50 A4 sheets can be loaded, making it easy to scan large vol umes of documents.

Stable paper feeding technology
The iX2500 is equipped with the brake roller feature and the ultrasonic multi-feed sensor. These features ensure smooth and stable paper feeding and reliable multi-feed detection. Additionally, the scanner's skew detection function stops feed operation to prevent dam age if paper is fed at an angle, thereby protecting your important documents.

Wi-Fi connectivity for both smartphones and PCs
The ScanSnap iX2500 supports Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands) and enables wireless saving to smart devices and the cloud without needing a PC.
With Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) compatibility, the scanner ensures robust and stable communica tion, even in environments with radio interference and congestion.
Additionally, it supports the WPA3 security protocol and TLS 1.3, safeguarding your valuable information.

Accesses to the same data regardless of device and time with Data Syncx4
