This Work Force is a Workhorse
I generally do not do reviews unless something is really bad or something is really good. This scanner is one of the really good ones. It takes a bit of time to install the software, but the process is seamless. The scanner does scan at 35 pages per minute as advertised and it doesn’t seem to make any difference if you are scanning single sided or double sided, at least I didn’t notice any. I have been scanning at 600 dpi so I don’s know if it slows it down any at aa higher setting. The documentation and advertisement says it has a 50 page document feeder but you can easily get 60 or more 20 pound bond pages in the feeder. One of my concerns was that almost all of my files were over 50 pages and I was concerned that I would end up with a volume one, volume two, etc. That worry was quickly banished. You can put in your first 50 or 60 pages in the document feeder and scan them. Take them out of the tray and put in another 50 or 60 pages and press scan again and they get added to your pdf file. You can just keep doing this and end up with a 150 or 200 page or larger pdf if you want or need. I had been trying to scan my files using my Brother All-in- One and, although it did scan at about the same speed, when it encountered a staple that I missed which would result in a jam it was a disaster trying to get the page out without tearing it to pieces. (I have a new rule – absolutely no staples in any of my files as they are a time consuming pain to remove and I invariably miss one or two) With this scanner when I miss a staple it does generally jam, but clearing the jam is quick and simple. Just remove the non jammed documents, open the cover and lift out the page that is jammed.remove the staple or the post it note that you put on that page, as it also won’t scan a page with a post it note attached, reinsert your pages in the document feeder and press enter on your keyboard and it is off and running again. There is no tearing of the jammed page as I sometimes experienced with the Brother All in One and clearing the jam is a snap.One of the features I love is that the software will automatically rotate the scanned page 180 degrees. I prefer to feed my documents from the bottom of the page as it is generally not as ratty as the top of the pages where staples were placed or corners got crumpled, so rather than feeding it top first into the document feeder, I place it in bottom first and when it gets scanned it automatically rotates the image so the top is on top, something I wasn’t able to get the software I used with my Brother All in One to do..The software lets you name the file and direct it where you want to send the PDF file (I send mine to the hard disk for storage). Once you designate a destination for the file the program remembers where you sent it and will send the next document to the same directory by default or you can direct it to another directory. I have seen a few complaints on the reviews about the software and that concerned me in deciding to purchase the scanner, but i found the software easy to use and intuitive.I have scanned about 15,000 pages so far and the scanner has worked pretty much flawlessly (I have not seen a single double feed). The only issue I ever have (besides the stupid staples that I miss) is that on a few occasions the scanner lost connectivity with my wireless router and that sometimes takes a few minutes to re-establish.This is, over all, a great scanner and is highly recommended.LATER. So four years and about 50,000 letter size scans later and this is still working like it was brand new. Awesome scanner

Returned item – features are more limited when connected via wireless network!
I wish I did not have to give a star rating – I will be returning this product because it does not support my use case. The wireless model of this scanner costs a bit more, however the way I wish to use it does not work for wireless operation. I called Epson support and they confirmed this.I feel I should mention that I did not have any problems with setup or scanning documents, mainly I used the feature to generate searchable PDFs and it scanned multiple documents OK. Unfortunately I don’t feel it would be fair for me to give the scanner a star-rating, while it certainly works it doesn’t meet my needs due to a (seemingly) arbitrary design decision that I only discovered after purchasing.In my use case, I set up the scanner on the wireless network (remember, I’ve paid extra for the wireless model). I wish to place documents in the scanner, push a button, and have the scanned documents saved to a PC and processed into searchable PDF’s. It turns out the only way this is possible is if you start a certain application on the PC. I don’t mind this – I thought I would just add the application to windows start-up and leave it running all the time. However, it is by design that after 15 minutes the application terminates itself and must be started again manually!This means that for me, in practice, it would be necessary to first visit the PC, (re)start the application, then visit the scanner and scan my documents. I understand that to some this might seem nitpicky, but for my purposes this defeats the entire purpose of having a networked (wired or wireless) scanner as opposed to one that is connected via USB cable.Epson’s included software is more user-friendly than others I’ve seen (Fujitsu), it is unfortunate that they did not make this 15-minute timeout an optional feature of the software. Epson support confirmed for me that there is no other way to do what I want other than connect the scanner via USB. For this reason I’m going to have to return the product.

Super Easy To Use!
Have only had this scanner for a few days now but it works great, the color option is awesome, and is super easy to use! I’m not a techy person so the set-up wasn’t possible for me to do alone, but only took my I.T. guy a few minutes to do.

so simple!
I have all but gotten rid of the stacks of papers in my office. everything is on a thumb drive thanks to this little wonder. takes up hardly any space – scans both sides at the same time and saves documents in seconds. recognizes receipts and put everything where it belongs. wish i had this years ago.

EXCELLENT SCANNER ONCE INSTALLED. mmm NEEDED HELP FOR WIFI AND ENDED UP SUSING USB CORD
Ok, Epson has a great scanner here. However the set up is not intuitive. They could easily have paid the extra few bucks to have an all in one set up program that does the heavy lifting. But they got CHEAP, and made it difficult. If you have a firewall, protection subprogram that will interfere with the wifi set up. However, you can go usb cable which is included. However, it is only 6 feet long and there are no extensiions I was able to find. Overall, good product, once installed. This is my second. The first was purchased a year ago and is performing perfectly.

So fast and easy that you’ll never need to keep a piece of paper again
My boss bought this scanner for my desk and after I set it up and used it the first day, I bought one for myself. I deal with an excessive amount of contracts and court cases, and this scanner is perfect to get hard copies with wet signatures into electronic form. It’s also the answer to getting rid of physical trial binders after the case is finished.

Me ha logrado sacar de una montaña de trabajo. Lo que hacía en un día. Lo realiza en 20 minutos. Igual cuenta la capacidad de la PC que procesa los datos. A mi me resultó súper excelente!!

This replaced a portable scanner for scanning receipts and invoices. It’s fast and anything I put in it, including stacks of tape receipts that I used to have to photograph for our accounting software. A little more than I planned on spending but worth every penny.

ótimo produto e de fácil instalação
From the 613 –
It arrived quickly and was very easy to set up with a wireless connection to my devices. It replaced a Fujitsu Scansnap scanner that i have used for many years. I had originally intended to buy another Fujitsu but after reading the great reviews for the Epson I thought I’d give it a try and was not disappointed.

La uso en oficina, muy eficiente, fácil se vincular con Windows, con Mac no tuve tanta suerte, pero la velocidad de escaneo es muy buena, diversos documentos y no ocupa mucho espacio, la vinculación de WIFI es buena, recomiendo ponerla lo más cerca posible del módem para mayor eficiencia en la señal
