We also subjectively evaluated the images quality against predefined reference targets for scanners.įinally, we looked at the device’s bundled Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software.
Our evaluation includes consideration of its performance for double-sided scanning and its ability to handle business cards. To put the scanner through its paces, Enex TestLab performed a series of independent tests, including measuring its performance at managing a 40-page document, and handling a mixture of media exhibiting different paper weights, sizes, colours and ink types. In terms of warranty the ix500 carries a one year Return To Base (RTB). It can handle a diverse range of paper weights and sizes, from business cards right up to folded A3, but because it is not a flatbed scanner, it won’t handle pages with staples or other types of binding. Though small, this machine is fast and flexible.
