Epson WorkForce ES-580W Wireless Color Duplex Desktop Document Scanner for PC and Mac with 100-sheet Auto Document Feeder (ADF) and Intuitive 4.3" Touchscreen

This little scanner is super fast! It will scan a 300 page real estate document in less than 2 minutes!

I love so many things about this multi use scanner! It makes it extremely convenient that I can scan things using my to my iPhone, tablet, or computer. It also makes it very useful that it is wireless and a touchscreen so it's easy to navigate through the options to perform the tasks that I need to get done. It scans up to 100 pages at one time quickly and effortlessly, so I'm able to leave it while multitasking instead of having to hand feed a page at a time. It's also easy to share documents using the scanner, and I can save them to an USB drive, upload to my iCloud or my email. It also has added bonuses and features such as auto crop, blank page deletion, background removal, dirt detection and paper-skew correction with Epson Image Processing Technology. One of my favorite things about the scanner, is that it has Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection which helps prevent missing pages, and staples that get left in papers which sometimes accidentally happens. It was super easy to set up the scanner, and I also love the size, shape, and look at the scanner. It has a streamline and professional look and it's also the perfect size so that way it doesn't crowd up too much desk space. I'm very happy with the functionality and performance of this scanner!

I was amazed at how easy this Epson WorkForce ES-580W Document Scanner was to set up. The software had step by step instructions for downloading to my laptop and there were no glitches. After the scanner was turned on I set the language and time' the download was complete and ready to scan in less than 10 minutes. This is the easiest way to save documents whether you are looking to scan recipes, receipts, invoices or any other documents to your computer, email or online cloud storage. It even has the capability to scan without a computer to a USB memory drive.   The best part is it's wireless but also comes with a USB cable if you want to hook it up directly to your computer. The touch-screen is easy to navigate and the unit has a 100 sheet auto document feed. I did a trial scan of some recipes and saved them to my laptop in a RECIPE file.  Next I scanned a variety of about 20 invoices using the auto feed and every sheet ran through perfectly. This scanner is perfect for home or business and I plan to use it in my home office to keep everything neatly organized in computer files. I am very impressed with how simple the instructions were and easy to download the software to be ready to start scanning and get organized.  No more piles of receipts and invoices, everything is neatly filed on my computer. Whether you are scanning 3x5 recipe cards, invoices or 8x10 documents, the paper width can easily be adjusted to the width needed. There is also a scanner maintenance tab where it shows step by step photos for cleaning the roller. I can't say enough on how easy this document scanner is to use from set-up, using, storing and cleaning when needed.  I am totally impressed with the quality, the construction, how easy it is to operate and the overall look and size of this Epson ES- 580W.  This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-580W Wireless Duplex Touchscreen Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. 

This Epson scanner has all of the features I need - double sided scanning (what the pros call "duplex,") wireless upload to cloud destinations (I use Google drive,) and a color touch screen to adjust scan settings. I use the scanner primarily to declutter my life by scanning bills and letters as soon as I get them so I don't have paper lying around. The touch screen lets you adjust things like if the document should be scanned in black and white or in color. It's very easy to setup and use and feels sturdy in terms of build quality yet it is compact enough to fit anywhere. This scanner fits into my workflow because I can use the screen to decide where the document should go and the documents are scanned on both sides automatically. And what's even better is that, unlike other scanners, this scanner is wireless and can upload straight to the cloud without a computer. You can adjust where documents can go (called destinations) on the Epson website and it's all free. If I have a lot of documents they all fit in the 100 page input tray which is more than double what other scanners have. You are also able to quickly digitize business cards because it can scan those too without an issue and without manual cropping.

Fast scanning. Does Double sided papers that wouldn't feed thru a canon duplex laser printer scanner.

The Epson WorkForce ES-580W Wireless Duplex Touchscreen Desktop Document Scanner is a superb scanner, in a very compact footprint. The setup was very straightforward (I didn't read the included directions). Head over to www.epson.com/support/es580w to download the most up to date software from Epson. Upon downloading the software, you'll be guided through a step by step setup process to install the scanner software onto your computer through the supplied USB cable. Part of the setup process includes setting the scanner to scan wirelessly, and send document directly to your computer. Once the software is installed, the firmware to the Epson scanner will be updated automatically to the most recent version of the firmware (see the pictures below). After your software is installed, the operation of the scanner is super simple. I found the touchscreen to be very intuitive (see pictures below), and quite responsive to the touch. The Epson WorkForce ES-580W has every feature you would expect a modern day scanner to have. It has Duplex (this means two sided scanning, for two sided documents) scanning capability, which is an absolute must have! It also allows you to scan through wifi, a feature my old scanner is sorely lacking! This is probably my favorite feature. It allows to to plug your scanner in almost anywhere, as it really doesn't take up much space. Simply feed the documents you want to scan into the document scanner, and touch "computer", which will then bring up the computer that you setup the Epson to scan to. Again, this is a really great feature. You also have the ability to scan to a memory stick/card as well. Although, I did receive the scanner as part of a promotion through Epson, I was very impressed that their instructions couldn't have been more clear that they wanted an honest, and unbiased review, so kudos to Epson for doing things ethically! This is an excellent scanner, for the money. This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-580W Wireless Duplex Touchscreen Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

Unboxing this Epson scanner was pretty straight forward. You will have 6 main items in the box. (Scanner unit, Document feeder, USB cable, AC Adapter, Power cable and Start Here poster) (Picture attached) Following the instructions in the Start Here poster took about 18 - 20 minutes (Software setup, Test scanning and firmware update) I used the wireless option setup for my office. THe touchscreen menu is quick to respond and has easy to navigate menus. (See picture attached for a picture of the touchscreen) I ran quite a few test scans ranging from 7 pages up to 75 pages. The scanner does a great job in document feeding. It did not skip any pages. I used the scan to folder option for the major of my work. Please see below for a snippet of some of my scanning data: 7 page Black and White scan One sided - 200dpi The scan had combination of text, maps and site plans It took 14.50 seconds to scan these 7 pages 325KB using standard compression 70 page Combination of color and black/white pages. Two sided (duplex) - 200dpi The scan had combination of text, maps and site plans It took 59.50 seconds to scan these 70 pages 5.52MB using standard compression This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-580W Wireless Duplex Touchscreen Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

I have to say Epson really has made a remarkable product. The ES-580W has actually surprised me. Usually scanners have been a pain connecting to older OS. It was very simple to put together and connect to the computer, my phone and the wireless network. The menu is quite self explanatory when setting up. The touch screen is a welcomed addition and doesn't require repetitive pressing to select a command. The size of the scanner makes for compact usage for those with limited space. If you drive, it is very travel friendly. Scanning up to 100 pages at a time is very helpful when I was scanning old documents. The great thing is you don't have to be a computer wiz to use the ES-580W. The functionality of this space saving work horse is worth having in your business arsenal. “This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-580W Wireless Duplex Touchscreen Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”

The Epson WorkForce ES-580W Wireless Duplex Touch Screen a scanner was pretty easy to get up and running. It only had 3 pieces and was quick to assemble. You plug it in and are guided through the process. In fact the most complicated step would be connecting to your wifi which most people have done with multiple devices... Some of my favorite features included the ability to rapidly scan two sided documents or even something as small as a business card. The document feeder can hold as much as one hundred pages. It was also quick to send scans to your favorites thanks to shortcut keys. The Epson Scan Smart software .is easy for the novice user to figure out and quickly start using.The touchscreen was also easy to read and scroll through due to its 4.3” size. It also offers quick access to frequently used cloud storage accounts. The practicality of this device for home office use can't be beat. “This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-580W Wireless Duplex Touchscreen Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”

I wear multiple hats in my home office to include homemaker, teacher, business owner, and student. In looking for a scanner I wanted something that would scan quickly, effectively, and quietly. I chose this Epson for the speed, double-sided, and wireless capabilities. To start, setup is a breeze, even for someone who isn't particularly technically savvy. Once you download the software on your computer, setting up the wireless connectivity is done step by step for you. Setup took me about 5 minutes from start to finish. I have been fairly happy with the scanning capabilities. The quality far surpasses my standard printer/scanner/fax combo that I was previously using. Furthermore, it scans documents considerably faster. One thing I was looking forward to, was being able to scan and open documents as editable word documents. While the quality of the PDF is great, the consistency of quality in the word documents is subpar. I've attached two pictures of the same document, one scanned as a PDF and one scanned as an editable word document. As you can see, there are some variations in the word document. Still, the capabilities offered by the scanner are far superior to what I was using previously. If the word document function was improved, I would have nothing but positive experiences.
