Those specs are similar to those of the Raven Pro Max. Another recent sheetfed/flatbed combo, the HP ScanJet Enterprise Flow N6600 fnw1, is much shorter and leaner, closer in size to lower-end models like Epson's DS-1630 and PCMag's Best of 2019 winner the Xerox Duplex Combo Scanner. What it does is complex, how you use it is simple. Its wireless connectivity, an intuitive touch screen and advanced software, "ScanSnap Home", enable you to do anything from scanning papers, converting them into fully editable files, to utilizing data in your commonly used applications. With its various automation functions, it intelligently adapts to your preferences and continues to evolve around your needs, enabling you to work in a smarter way. ScanSnap Cloud delivers scanned data directly from your ScanSnap iX1500 to your favorite cloud services without a computer or mobile device. The software automatically classifies your file type by documents, receipts, business cards and photos, and sends it to the appropriate cloud based on your pre-set profiles. To activate cloud scanning, just create a free ScanSnap Cloud account and log all instances of ScanSnap Home into it. We then created a new profile to send scans directly our Dropbox account and all we had to do was load our documents and select this from the touchscreen.” Scan and share your files via the cloud with your team or family. Have your documents at hand wherever you are.

At least two of the fi-8270's more direct competitors, the Raven Pro Max and the HP ScanJet N6600, come with Wi-Fi wireless and Wi-Fi Direct peer-to-peer networking, in addition to Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.2 connections. This Fujitsu supports only USB and Ethernet, offering little or no support for scanning from handheld smartphones or tablets. The Raven also has an auxiliary USB port for scanning to flash drives and other USB storage devices. Connectivity consists of Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.2.

Support for Fujitsu's core computing products - including notebooks (LIFEBOOK), tablets PCs (STYLISTIC), PCs, servers (PRIMERGY), and storage (ETERNUS) - is provided via a central portal. As I've said more than once, OCR accuracy is at least as important as raw speed; the fastest scanner on the planet is worthless if you must spend too much time fixing conversion errors. The Fujitsu fi-8270 proved error-free down to 5 points in our Arial font test and 6 points with Times New Roman. That's superb—and these days, fairly average for professional-grade scanners. Cloud scanning is outstanding – ScanSnap Home supports Dropbox, Google Drive and Photos, Box, OneDrive and Evernote. You can also send receipts directly to the Expensify and Shoeboxed cloud services for expense accounting.”

Designed to be a comfortable fit even when the cover is closed, it dramatically reduces the handling of documents before hitting the scan button. Like the Raven Pro Max, another PCMag favorite that combines that company's Raven Pro sheetfed document scanner with a flatbed attachment, the fi-8270 teams Fujitsu's fi-8170 with a flatbed, as you can see in the image below. The combined devices measure 9.2 by 11.8 by 22.7 inches, and the unit weighs just over 19 pounds. The fi-8270 (left) replaces the fi-8170's output tray with a flatbed add-on that doubles as an output bed. Fujitsu also offers free ScanSnap Connect iOS and Android apps. With it loaded on our iPad, it discovered the scanner, which displayed our device name on its screen and allowed us to pull in scans over the network.”
