Review on 📄 Epson DS-1630 Document Scanner - 25ppm Speed, TWAIN & ISIS Drivers, 3-Year Warranty with Next Business Day Replacement by Henry Brown

The capabilities of this scanner are impressive considering its small size. It measures just 18 x 12 x 5 inches (approx) and is fairly light (9 pounds), yet it can automatically scan a stack of 50 pages at 25 ppm (or 10 ppm duplex). for general document scanning, not for photos. If you want to scan photo prints or negatives there are much better options like the Epson V600 Photo which scans at 6400 x 9600 dpi as opposed to this scanner's 1200 x 1200 dpi. This scanner can produce decent quality scanned photos, but I wouldn't buy it as a photo scanner at all. The strength of this scanner is its document feeder. I haven't had any problems with paper jams, even with some folded or crumpled papers. For documents that won't fit in the ADF, you can lift the top and place it on the scanner's flatbed glass and scan. The scanner uses Epson's Scan 2 software, which gets the job done and has a decent level of customization and options. The power cord is a bit odd - it's a typical dual-barreled power cord, but the plug is angled 90 degrees to the cord to match the scanner's power connector, which is tucked away in a small corner on the back. It's ok if you never lose the power cord while driving - then it will be difficult to find replacements as I believe a regular twin cord won't do if you can't bend it 90 degrees straight into the socket. USB 3 cable included. I'm using the scanner with my old iMac which only has USB 2 and it works fine so it's backwards compatible. I think for normal office use this scanner is a good buy.
