Super Scanner
I bought this Epson DS-530II scanner to destructively scan textbooks and reference books for myself so I can get rid of my many tubs of books. This thing is awesome! The help documentation doesn't quite match the software and during install it occasionally made references to it being a printer. Overall I was able to set it up for document scanning and book scanning with OCR with the built in software after a little work. I was worried my not-fantastic laptop might get angry with scanning 600-700 page texts, but I have not had any issues. Overall would highly recommend. I saw someone at work with a black scanner of similar model, and I am only sad I did not get this in black. Would highly recommend.
Great time saver for archiving paper files
I have a flatbed scanner which I use for one-off or high DPI scanning, and it works just fine. But I needed to digitize a lot of legacy documents and clear out file drawers - the thought of doing that will simplex, manual flatbed scanner made me shudder. A little bit of research led me to buy the Epson DS-530II scanner. The main buying point was duplex scanning in one pass, and people's writeups about how forgiving it was for wrinkled paper.
After fiddling with the settings and a few experiments, I was able to figure out how to make each two-sided sheet of paper a single document (the User's Guide is pretty well written, too.) I set up scanning profiles for my different categories of documents, and then got to it.
The scanner lived up to writeups and reviews. I had about 3 misfeeds out of ~500 documents, and those were due to badly torn leading edges; just turning them around and re-feeding solved the problem. Here's the thing: Day 1 took about an hour's worth of learning the settings and experimenting with setting up jobs. Day 2 took about 15 minutes' worth of feeding the scanner batches of paper, and I was done. That would have been hours of work with the flatbed scanner (load document, scan side 1, flip document, scan side 2, stitch the two scans together and save under a new file name, repeat.....).
If I only use the Epson this week to digitize those old files, and never touch it again, it still will have already paid for itself. I'm very happy with this little device.
So easy to use , so easy to set up
I love this scanner! I am just a house wife and My computer needed to be replaced after years..so the new one would not work with my NeatDesk and in order for it to work i needed to pay $200 yearly fee to store my files. Cannon's costs nothing per year. Works so easily.. It was plug in down load drivers and i was up and running. I scan important documents i need to save along with my cooking recipes, knitting patterns, there are times where i need to sign a document and email it .. I could not be happier!!!
