Can it scan both sides of a page at once?

Yes. The ADF scans both sides in a single pass, so duplex documents come out as one file.

Does it need a computer to scan?

No. Over Wi-Fi it can send scans to a phone, tablet or cloud service directly, and Wi-Fi direct mode works without a router.

Can it scan receipts and plastic cards?

Yes, through the Return Scan slot. That path is straight rather than U-turn, so stiff and small items pass through safely, one at a time.

How does it compare with the iX1500 or iX1600?

Those models have a larger touchscreen, a higher daily volume rating and a bigger ADF. The iX1300 trades that capacity for a much smaller footprint and the Return Scan slot.

What comes in the box?

The scanner, a power cable, a USB cable and setup instructions. ScanSnap software is a download.

Is 600 dpi enough for photos?

It is fine for snapshots and documents. For archiving or enlarging prints, a dedicated photo scanner at higher resolution is the better tool.
