Scan123 requires a TWAIN compliant document scanner but not all TWAIN models will work. First, and most importantly, the beginning of this list shows the hardware which under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should be purchased for use with our applications.
Not Compatible/Not Supported
(It is absolutely critical the below devices not be purchased with the intention of using on the platform as advertised, there are no exceptions as there are insurmountable technical compatibility issues)
Fujitsu ScanSnap Series - IX & S series (not TWAIN compliant)
A ScanSnap, identified by an IX or S preceding its numeric model number, while attractive in price, is completely incompatible with our application. This is due to its design using a proprietary driver. A ScanSnap model Fujitsu will NEVER function as intended and is to be avoided at all costs
Panasonic Document Scanners (technical issues)
Xerox Documate Series (technical issues)
All-in-one Printer/Scanner combos (any brand)(not supported)
Network Scanners (various reasons: not TWAIN compliant, requires proprietary software, technical issues)
fi-5000 series (no longer supported on Windows 10)
Certified Scanners
We recommend the Fujitsu-fi series scanners because we’ve found them to be extremely reliable and long-lasting.
Fujitsu:
- All fi-7000 series
- fi-7180
- fi-7160
- fi-7140
- fi-7030
- All fi-8000 series (7000 series replacement)
- Any fi-6000 series (can be difficult to find)
Other Recommendations (Not Certified)
Our software has worked with most other desktop scanners that use a TWAIN compliant driver. These are not certified with Scan123 but will work. We do warn that depending on the Scanner, some settings require additional configuration and some issues can occur due to the Scanner's Manufacturer software and not Scan123.
