Scanner-free scanning Since the launch of the first ScanSnap model in 2001, the brand has been built around a simple promise: you don’t need to understand IT to benefit from digitisation.

Now, with ScanSnap Camera you don’t even need a scanner to scan. PFU (EMEA) Limited’s GM Sales, Brian Fortune, said: “By making high-quality document capture freely available on a smartphone, we’re helping more people experience the value of digitisation, increasing the accessibility of scanning. Our reseller partners are then perfectly positioned to introduce the wider ScanSnap portfolio for when users need greater speed, volume, reliability or functionality. It’s about creating more conversations, reaching more customers and growing the market together.” A choice of models Today’s ScanSnap range offers a choice of models for different working styles and document capture needs, from the ultraportable iX100 for scanning on the move; to the compact iX1300, offering fast, space-saving Coinciding with the 25-year anniversary of ScanSnap scanners, PFU EMEA (Limited) is extending the brand’s reach with the launch of a free ScanSnap Camera feature.
