Epson B11B261202 DS-530 II 600 dpi Optical Resolution Color Duplex Document Scanner - 50-Sheet Duplex Auto Document Feeder

This is a review for the Epson DS-530 II Color Document Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. I've been using this scanner for a little over a week. I've scanned maybe about over 100 documents and 100 photos. I have no complaints. It works as expected. With this particular scanner, I can place two photographs of 5 x7 on the glass plate at a time. The built-in software will give you two separate photo files and will self-adjust the photos for alignment if they are not placed on the glass platen exactly straight. This feature is a real time saver. I continue to use the scanner as a document scanner because it's a little quicker than my all-in-one printers can scan and it gives me a good quality scan. The digital software, built into the unit, automatically performs some color correction to each photo and does that fairly well. This scanner also scans negatives, slides and does a wonderful job doing it. It has TWAIN and ISIS® drivers for seamless integration. I had many documents scanned and they look fabulous. There is a brief learning curve and you need to experiment with all the settings and how to use the included holders. It has fast speeds up to 35 ppm/70 ipm1. It has auto rotation if the document is not lined hp properly it also has auto cropping, dirt fetection and paper protection.

I am very, very happy with this Epson Duplex Document Scanner. I've used different brand scanners over the years, from flatbed, to handheld to desktop but they always end up disappointing me. this one surprised me a lot, no problems with jams, connection issues, etc. It was easy to set up and does a great job! definitely the technology every day advances more and more. In our office we digitize all of our paperwork from receipts and accounting policies and their safeguarding in our system is quickly, It has a good speed, and produces nice PDFs. we prefer to keep digital copies of most documents and recycle the paper. I just want to easily scan and this works really awesome. This Duplex Document Scanner has out-performed my expectations at this point, it is so fast, and the scans are perfectly aligned. it feeds flawlessly with a great image. even with the long skinny receipts with no issues at all. The actual scanning process is a sight to behold speedwise, even scanning double sidded doesn't slow down the unit. The program supplied is powerful and I like that I can make profiles for different types of scans. I highly recommend this scanner for heavy volume use.

First impressions: The unboxing of the scanner was straightforward and simple. The package arrived to my doorstep relatively undamaged. The product along with accessories were easy to remove from the box, and everything was connected to my computer within 10 minutes. The scanner is a nice modern, white color design that does not take up much footprint when closed up. Even with the rear feed tray and front trays extended, it does not take up an absurdly large amount of space. Setup & Usage: The device is standard USB 3.0 Type B, WITHOUT WiFi capabilities. The Epson Scan & Document Capture software installation process was a relative breeze. The latest version of the software, the “Drivers and Utilities Combo Package Installer”, can be found under the product support page on the Epson website. My setup process was performed on Windows 10, so I am not able to comment on the software installation for MacOS users. Scanning documents itself is fast and straightforward - just make sure you orient your documents correctly in the rear feed tray; documents go in with the front side and top being facing down. The scanner processes multi-page documents very quickly, with double sided capture working like a charm. Document Capture Pro was able to sense the sizes of my documents and receipts with ease, ranging from standard 8.5 x 11 letter size paper to long store receipts resembling the ones you get at CVS. The scanning software also allows you to choose a variety of document format outputs other than PDF, which is very convenient if you are scanning a picture vs. scanning text only documents. These settings can also be customized and saved as presets, for fast access and reuse in the future. I would like to highlight the duplex functionality of the printer, which saves so much time compared to non-duplex scanners. The speed at which the scanner processes double sided documents is quite quick, with the limitation being how fast your computer and the Epson software can process the scans. As mentioned previously, make sure you insert the front side of your double sided page face down, otherwise, the page order will be scanned and processed in reverse. This is not an issue for a single page of double sided content as it can be easily corrected in Adobe Acrobat, but if you are scanning stack of documents, it is less than ideal to have everything the wrong direction. Scan Quality: Being primarily a document scanner, the quality has been flawless on all my receipts and standard documents, with clear text that was easily processed by OCR and made editable in Adobe Acrobat. For color image scans, the color resolution and tones are slightly lacking, but for the most part, get the job done. Granted, this was not designed for scanning and digitizing photographs and artwork so if you are looking for a scanner that preserves image coloring with minimal tweaks to the software, I suggest looking elsewhere for something better suited for the job. See pictures for examples of quality. For the time that I have used the machine for its intended designed purpose, it has outperformed the previous scanners that I have owned. I hope that the device continues to perform well into its service life, producing speedy, quality scans. I have not needed to contact customer service for any reason, and hope it stays that way. I give this product an unbiased, 5/5 stars so far. My background is in Information Technology and Computer Engineering, so your experience with ease-of-setup may vary. The only really difficult part, is finding the download link to the software package, which can be easily accomplished if you know how to use Google. If not, then buying a scanner, quite frankly, may not have been the best move for you – may I suggest the local library with scanning capabilities on a computer and live support from the staff?

The DS-530 II color duplex document scanner turned out to be great for someone like me who is a photographer. I purchased a ton of old photographs and I am happy to say the DS-530 really exceeded my expectations. Old photos from the 1940s were a breeze to scan and add to my collection. The DS-530 sped through stacks of photos and became a simple and efficient process. The quality was too notch. I also have been in the process of scanning all my documents to a digital copy Incase the original is lost or something. Usually with my older scanner I could only do a few at a time. I was also pleased with the ability to have the photos and documents added to my cloud storage easily as well. The smaller photos and documents were also easy for me to scan and upload. I was overall satisfied with the DS-530 II and how it handled my jobs. I definitely recommend it!!! “This is a review for the Epson DS-530 II Color Document Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”

I am very happy with this EPSON DS-530 II Color Document Scanner as it is very easy to install, configure and use. , for me it is the perfect solution since it is very fast and efficient (smart option). Now I can get the most out of my duty cycle as this scanner includes TWAIN and ISIS drivers for better integration with almost every document management system out there. In addition, this color scanner is very fast and safe for a super efficient work of my documents. Scan in color and I didn't get stuck even once ………………………………………………………………………………… This scanner does not have Wi-Fi, so you must be connected to a computer each time you need to scan. Also, keep in mind that each document must be face down at the time of processing. It has 5 buttons to its right in the following order. On -Double feed detection -Slow feed- Cancel and Start, in this scanner there is no margin of error and its function is duplex and it scans both sides automatically. Its size and weight are perfect, as well as its fast and safe shape, which makes this scanner of great quality and ultra-fast. This scanner was received free for testing and review.

The setup process of this compactwas easy- unbox, plug it in, turn it on, download the driver/software package, and then plug it into the computer when the setup asks you. Next, I had a stack of medical and registration forms for my kids school, many of them two-sided documents. Using the Epson scanner software, I toggled "2-sided" scanning, and "skip blank pages", and just like that in a matter of only seconds it simultaneously scanned both sides of each page, left out the blank sides and created a high-quality 200-dpi PDF that was both crisp while still compressing to a small file size ready for email. My past experience with SOHO scanners like the HP OfficeJet and Canon ImageClass lines of scanners shows that there was much room for improvement when it comes to scanners. Now that I've tried this, I never want to go back to 30 seconds of waiting for the scanner to warm up, move the reader head, scan the page, the duplexer pulling it back in to scan the other side, etc., because in the same amount of time, I could scan two-sides of 30 sheets with this Epson DS-530 II duplex scanner!

The Epson DS-530II scanner works great and is perfect for scanning all my paperwork and organizing it on my computer. It small, compact and portable. It's lightweight and fits nicely on my desk. The top folds out becoming the input tray and the return tray pulls out at the bottom. It was a breeze to set up. The software was easy to download and I had it up and running within 10 minutes. I was able to scan all of my paperwork quickly and accurately. It accurately counts the documents its scanning and leave out duplicates. The duplex feature works well and it automatically scans both sides of the documents. It scans in color as well, which is a nice feature. It's also adjustable for paper size, so you can scan small items, like IDs. It rarely jams but when it does, clearing the jam is very simple to do. It doesn't connect to wifi, so it has to be plugged into your computer to operate. “This is a review for the Epson DS-530 II Color Document Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”

Unboxing was quick and easy! There was a quick-start manual included that consisted of the basic steps of 1) unwrap, 2) plug it in, 3) download/install the software. The installation walks through the order in which to plug things in (power, then USB) and automatically detects the scanner and continues. The installer has a couple options as to which parts to install - it requires the drivers & document capture software, for example, but optionally lets you NOT install the manuals/updater/uninstaller if you'd like. Selecting everything says it will take 415.9MB of space. The rest of the installation was a breeze. Launching the "Epson Scan 2" gives all sorts of options for quality, de-noise, brightness, etc. My favorite was the option to de-skew based on either the page or the content itself! Scanning is VERY quick - I've included a video showing a scan at 600DPI, 300dpi, and 200dpi. The speed does not sacrifice quality, it's great & color-accurate. The document-feeder works great, accurately separating pages & feeding them through quickly. The document-catcher tray slides out and even has a flip-up stop at the end to catch the papers as they come out so they aren't pushed off the end onto the floor. In summary, it's an awesome scanner. It's quick, high-quality, and yet also compact - perfect to keep on the side of my desk.

At first glance it looks so compact, setup was such a breeze. My system recognized and installed the driver right away, I did however had to go to the Epson website to download some software. which also was quite easy to install, once installed completely, I had to try it first I scanned id cards.it scanned both sides I think it took about 2 seconds to scan 4 cards. yes, it was that fast, I then really put it to a test and scan 13 standard-size papers also full-duplex it's amazingly fast. by the way, it was able to scan id cards and my printer's scanner couldn't because the guides were able to close to form fit the ids. it will be an an amazing addition to any office!

bought this for our accounts payable however the scan preview is a totally different print quality than the actual scan. I cant believe how bad the actual scan is its illegible if there is any gray on the receipt
