Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Epson WorkForce DS-510: High-Performance Color Document Scanner by Loren Rindfleisch

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great scanner for archiving your paper files

I have a larger Epson multifunction device but the sheet feeder is having a problem with paper smaller than 8x10. I bought this one because it was supposed to work on smaller paper and got a nice surprise. It's fast. If you want, it scans both sides at the same time, which makes archiving old documents easier, and simply flips through the pages at incredible speed. It would have been better if the input tray was rotated backwards a little more as tri-fold pages sometimes mis-turn and then feed heavily, but I'm getting used to this and learning how to get the paper to behave a little better . I'm still very happy with the speed of this little gem and so far it's handled my small paper needs with no issues. Well done Epson. PS - I forgot to mention two other points: 1) The included ABBYY OCR software works very well, often better than more expensive software. This is a stripped down version of the full package but can be upgraded at a reduced price if needed. 2) The scanner also works great with Adobe Acrobat. I prefer to use it over the bundled scan and save pack, mainly because I use it with my other tools, not because there's something wrong with the Epson software.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Negative gift
