Fujitsu Scanners in the Legal Sector

Our legal institutions have often been accused of being locked in the past. Unwieldy filing systems and lots of paperwork form a large part of many solicitors’ offices around the country.  Just like other sectors, however, new technology needs to be embraced and in recent years, the CPS has been working hard to go fully digital.

The latest scanning technology is becoming important for the legal sector.


It’s a way to store vital files, documents and evidence safely. Going digital enables your customer’s firm or office to access information at any time you need it. This can not only greatly reduce costs in respect of administration, saving both time and money, but allows all legal staff to work much smarter. Scanned documents can be stored on secure cloud services and accessed when needed, searched for easily and even printed out remotely on even smarter multi-function printers.

With the CPS now fully engaged in turning their processes digital, law firms and other parts of the legal profession need to make every effort to keep up with the pace. The latest range of Fujitsu scanners are ideal for the legal profession and are beginning to play a big role in storing information for the sector.

There are two models that fit perfectly with the needs of the legal profession: the ScanSnap iX100 and ScanSnap iX500.

Both are highly compact devices that can easily fit on a desktop and work well with both Mac and PC. They scan quickly too, which is important for busy offices, with rates of up to 25 pages per minute for the iX500 and 12 ppm for the smaller iX100. With wireless connections, you can also scan directly to a pc, printer or device such as iPad or smartphone.

At a price of around £170 for the ScanSnap iX100 and £350 for the iX500, you get a lot of power and functionality for your money. The iX100 is highly portable and works on a lithium battery, so if you need to carry it with you and scan important documents on the move, you can. The iX500 is the perfect office machine and can handle substantial volumes of paper, enabling your legal firm to easily switch its filling system to the digital world.

Reliability is also key with both these products – they are becoming a popular choice with legal firms simply because of the ease of use and the ability to handle lots of paperwork without the usual paper jams.

Combined with all this is access to the highly secure ScanSnap cloud which means you can store your documents safely and access them on various devices even when you are away from the office. This is the one area that is set to revolutionise the legal profession and allow everyone from barristers to legal support services to communicate and access information much more efficiently. 

As a value added extra, you can join the Fujitsu Imaging Rewards Scheme. Reselling ScanSnap products or referring colleagues and partners to the scheme once you have signed up can give you the chance to earn points which can be redeemed against a wide range of prizes including holidays, the latest tech and even jewellery.

The Fujitsu ScanSnap iX100 and iX500 are fast becoming industry standards for the legal profession. They are the cost effective and reliable devices that make sure your customers keep up with the digital revolution.
