Epson DS-70 Document Scanner

PRATIQUE ME SUIT PARTOUT

I was skeptical - didn't see perfect reviews. I'm giving it a perfect review. Set up quickly! no disappointing malfunctions during install. Scan was clear and smooth. Super easy. This is my second feeder. The first feeder I ordered years ago started to get weird, as it scanned a few hazy lines during the feed. Running diagnostics etc. never resolved the lines. Tossed it after getting this one - nothing lasts forever (?) It's new, no issues - crossing my fingers it will last many years like the first one. If you need to scan a document from time to time or receipts (super small business things) I find it helpful that I can hide it away behind the computer monitor when I'm not using it. What a great idea that someone thought of this small scanner! I don't need anything huge. The printer has one, and the scanner was always a dysfunction. Cheap all in one machines have failed at true -"all in one". When you are tight on space you don't want tons of bulky junk!

Having many boxes of paper documents stored for years I decided it was time to shred all the paper taking up space in the Condo, that said I knew there would be some documents I would need to keep (taxes, etc) The documents I wanted to keep I set aside and scanned them into PDFs using the Epson DS-70 and then stored them on a thumb drive, and backed up that thumb drive to another thumb drive, I then shredded the paper documents versions. I wish I had gone for the wireless DS-80 but it was significantly more expensive and I wasn't sure if I would make use of it in the future. I have since used the DS-70 to scan important receipts for warranty purposes. It is fast, small, and very easy to use.

Working from home I need the ability to scan forms to send to co-workers for job completion. Normally I would take a picture with my phone and then email from there. However, that was just taking to long and the quality was gone in the document. I received the Epson DS-70 today downloaded the software, plugged in the device via the USB cable provided, adjusted the settings for the image quality and was well on my way to scanning the documents I have been waiting to send. This is a small unit but handles the documents well. It is a single document scanner so you have to feed through one page at a time. Not a deal breaker due to the fact that you can add multiple pages before finishing the job. It does not perform like your more expensive table top scanners but this is a portable scanner and an inexpensive one at that so think of it as a simple machine with no frills. It is not a duplex scanner so if your documents are two sided you will have to scan both sides one at a time (again no big deal). If you are looking for an inexpensive scanner that is ready to go then I would recommend this scanner.

I dislike it doesn't work.
