Save energy as well as trees

It supports in advance the new version of "Energy Star" power saving standards, planned to be introduced in September 2013. The iX500 was designed from the outset to save energy. Its new CIS imaging sensor and red/green/blue LED light source help to reduce operating power by 40%, to just 20W, whilst consumption is slashed to 1.6W or less in sleep mode (2.5W when Wi-Fi is enabled). It even turns itself off completely when unused for a specified length of time.
* ScanSnap Connect Application is available as a free download from the official application distribution service of the device (e.g., Google Play, Amazon App store and Apple App Store).
** A3 scanning is possible through the use of the bundled carrier sheet
