There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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
Epson website kinda terrible to navigate, especially because they used the same model names just called v2. V1 scanner names pull up first on Epson website when you try to start out with the newest software. If you use the CD it came with (if it came with one) it might be easier.
I bought about 6 of these.
Software is simple. Scans are vertically straight and not skewed at all. Epson software also has scan cleanup if the scan isn't perfect.
I purchased this to replace a Fujitsu s1300. The Epson is superior. The quality of the scans are much better and much faster. The Fujitsu was about 18 months old and failed to scan (when scanning two pages, the first page would go through but not scan. The second page would feed about halfway through and stop, again without scanning). When it did scan, it left a black line about halfway on the document.
The Fujitsu is a smaller unit and more portable than the Epson but for my use it is not a factor.
While I have not used the Epson for more than several days, I would definitely pick it over the Fujitsu and Brother based upon my experience so far.
