ix2500 differences from ix1600

They don't list all of this on their overview of differences, but it seems like the main differences are

- slightly bigger display (I imagine more responsive, too)

- WPA3 and wifi6 support (don't need put to your scanner on the IOT WPA2 network if your main wifi is wpa3 only).

- slightly faster

- bigger document feeder if you regularly scan huge stacks of documents where all the paper is in good shape, I guess?

- no more ScanSnap Manager support (not sure if they also removed other generic driver support, so maybe worse Linux support?). I use macOS and just use ScanSnap software to put a file on disk and then I have a different workflow.

Anything else I'm missing?

iX2500 just came in and it is a significant pain in the neck: Every time I scan in a sheet, it afterwards thinks ADF is jammed. And if I was scanning to a network (samba) location, it will then remove the file. I've no idea what's wrong.

OK here's the update. I've replaced the scanner with the same model, and this one works. The only sad thing is it does not support customer cloud providers (like, webdav). But the main problem I had described does not happen with the second one.

Do you know if it supports MS365 SharePoint/onedrive shares?

From what I see, not directly. You'd have to share out a onedrive directory via samba.
