is it worth getting the deluxe software bundle

Yes, the deluxe software bundle was worth getting. This is the best scanner I have ever owned. Now I know why my employer's IT department chose Fujitsu for our front line employees. I am finally getting things organized in my home office.

If you are speaking of the bundle software versus just the scanner the answer is "YES!". The software alone has a value equal to or exceed the cost of the scanner alone. Adobe so that you can create and edit PDF's. The disk had both the old Rack2Filer and the new Rack2Filer Smart software which is the way to store documents (and the source file as well which can be edited from the binders". Cardminder, though not perfect with many of the new creative business cards, is also useful software. If you are in an organization using SharePoint you can save directly to your SharePoint site with the added software. In my opinion the scanner without the software is just a way to create a PDF almost like having and auto without any roads. We had used the earlier S1500 the ix500 is a great improvement.

I believe it is. As of now, I'm just using the full version of Adobe. As I get more organized, I expect the Rack2Filer will come into play.The scanner itself is excellent, making fast 2-sided scans with excellent resolution/quality.

I think it is worth it if you are going to do a lot of scanning where you want to try to organize it all. If you are just doing one-off scanning, I would say no.

Can anyone tell me if the Rack2Filer software works with standard pdf files or a proprietary file it creates? My concern with buying the bundle over just the scanner (I already have Adobe Acrobat) is that if propriety file formats are required to use the organization tools, I may some day lose access to my scans.

I just bought the scansnap S1500 and in less than 2 hrs I eliminated 2 feet (yes a two foot high pile) of paper files and billing statements. The interface still needs some work and the addition of a few functions but all in all a 4 out of 5. don't know what the deluxe is. Maybe it comes with lettuce, tomato and fries.

The updates are free, the upgrade (I.e. LR 6) will not be free. You can use this version forever if you choose to!

You will need an active support contract to download ANY software. It's around $100 a year ballpark.

To my knowledge, there is not. You will need to buy a product key for each. Which cost the amount of the software.

No you do not have to have the software. It does make it b faster to program especially if you have more than once unit. Make sure you get the programming cable if you get the software

I wish I could be of help, taking into consideration that I have only used the developer edition and not the standard version, I cannot say which is better, but if your not into high tech app software development, I don't you will be needing the developer edition and I don't you would even notice the difference, hope this helps.Cheers.

Software isn't included. You will have to use your own OS cds for installment.

The Deluxe version definitely does, I just looked. I initially had Quicken Starter, but I never did a file import. ... because after I had it for a couple of weeks I received a great update offer from Quicken to the Deluxe version. I know this does not answer your question directly, but I can say this software package is incredible. I do a lot with the Deluxe version.

From my experience I would say no.....mine came with old software and even when it broke and I had to send it to Montreal to be fixed it came back with the old software....this was 6 weeks ago.

No you will have to buy it. It has a very watered down version office suites I think. It stinjs.

If you're going to spend this much money to get a great printer just pony up and get Simplify 3D for your software. Shareware is great but this package excels on ease, higher levels of accuracy and controllability. As far as your computer you can run anything to control your printer or use the SD slot. Simplify 3D had memory errors when I used a lower end processor, this was may upgrades ago. I upgraded my notebook and had zero issues with slicing or controlling the M2 printer but I think anything you get today in a computer will be able to run it.

Yes. I think the main difference between this and the deluxe is the format of the software. It also do not do state taxes (I am in WA state where there are no state taxes).

I have the same question. Is it worth paying over $200 for the IS enabled version?

Yes. The widget is pretty decent and offers integration with their website. It is also possible to download the SDK and develop your own software (if you are a c/c++ developer or can afford paying a software developer ;))

Yes, it is. You can't go wrong with either unit, but if money's no issue, the Top Deluxe is the unit of choice. Enjoy.

I don't believe so. if you purchase any software from anyone it will be the same. Keep all of your paperwork, activation codes etc and usually any company will allow you to use it on at least 2 computers. I think I have it on 3 at present. This one is pretty tough to learn. I haven't had time or the inclination to invest in learning it.
