Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I upgraded from my workhorse IX500 and based on the current firmware that wasn't a good move. While the IX1500 is much easier to configure thatn the IX500, day-to-day it's more difficult to operate: (1) Single-button cloud scans have now become two-button scans (you have to press "OK") to acknowledge the document has been saved (2) Single-button-long-press (long document) scans have now become six-button scans: they still work, but you have to change the scan mode to manual, scan, acknowledge, then change back It kind of makes you wonder whether the IX1500 firmware was designed by a different team. I think it does have the potential to be a great scanner, given the hardware. But the firmware would have to be fixed as follows: (1) Remove the annoying delays and acknowledgments (2) Buffer stuff and retransmit when the destination is available (I'm happy to put it on a UPS) (3) Introduce a single-button long document scan (4) Optionally, pay for the Paperport patent and introduce scan-on-insertion I will add one star back for each feature if and when it arrives.
