Epson WorkForce ES-50 Portable Sheet-Fed Document Scanner for PC and Mac

Quick to set up and scans in a jiffy. I have the Brother DS-640 at work and this Epson is far better. It has wireless capabilities as well. Takes up little space on your desk and can tuck away in a drawer.

Works great and clear photos! - only things I’ve notice is this dos not do great with thicker cards but will work for majority of the items you will plant to copy!

Very nice single sheet scanner. Use is easy and scans well into our app.

I bought two of these for a medical practice and as long as the scanner is powered up it works very well. But if the device goes to sleep, the device May no longer be available because it disappears in the hardware list. Once that happens it could be several hours before it reappears. I called Epson support and they told me that the scan to utility does not have the capability of turning the sleep mode off. The WIA driver stops working in Windows 10 and 11 even though it says the WIA service is running. Disabling the WIA driver completely disables the device. The device will not run solely on Twain. Keep that in mind before you buy this device. When it does work it does a fine job of scanning medical IDs and DL's.

So far I have been liking this scanner! Software that comes with it is great, plus the scanner moves pretty fast. It's only one page at a time and does not do double sided, but the speed of the software and intake make up for this. Image quality is pretty great in color and in black and white documents.I had to make some minor changes to the default settings. For starters, the base resolution (200 DPI) is pretty low and makes smaller text harder to read, so I bumped it up to 300 and documents are looking much better now. You may also need to turn down the brightness for some documents, especially photos. The scanner has a very bright light, which is great for black and white documents but can cause issues for color documents.Overall really liking this product so far, and was just what I needed for my workflow! Saves the space of keeping my hunky printer / scanner around.

I bought this scanner to use with a Mac running macOS 15. The description clearly says it's macOS compatible but I didn't realize that this device is quite old and it doesn't appear that Epson has updated driver and software for it in years. The instructions tell you to go to a web page that no longer exists to download drivers and software. When you do find the product page on the Epson website, there are appear to be no downloads available for any OS - Windows of Mac - made in the last several years. It's completely useless without the "included" software which is unavailable.I'm returning it.

Very easy to set up and use. Works great.

Not knocking any stars, because I should have researched this better. I have a Chromebook for my work and needed something to scan documents, especially while on the go. This doesn't work with Chrome, unfortunately. I do have an old Windows-based Surface Pro that I can use with it, but it's a pain to go back and forth between laptops. As far as how it works, it does well. Scans quickly and cleanly, and everything is easy to organize.
