Epson WorkForce ES-200: Compact, Color Portable Document Scanner for Professional Results

Jennifer C.: Some reviews mentioned difficulty with network setup and we had the same challenge. Instructions in the User Guide how to connect to the scanner wirelessly on a wifi network were inadequate. But after getting over that hurdle (go to the website and pull up the FULL user manual which has detailed instructions), it's been a great experience. The software (I'm using a MacBook) is very easy to use and you can save multiple custom settings you might use frequently. I'm using it to digitize household papers. I've scanned probably 100 papers (300 dpi setting) into pdfs so far. For multiple pieces of paper, I've not had more than 10 in a single scan, which it has handled without problem. I've also scanned a few cash register receipts. It had trouble with one receipt that was particularly long so I cut the receipt in half, scanning the pieces separately. My favorite feature, which was a must-have for me, is that it scans double-sided on one pass (no need to flip the paper and scan again). If I had the opportunity to decide again, I would still pick this scanner, and I would recommend it to others. Just have someone who can help with network setup if you want to use it...

Nicole Sharkey: I had to use this on a work trip where I had to scan multiple documents with several hundred pages. This is a very quick scanner and while the feeder doesn't hold a lot I got in a habit of adding a few pages while it was still scanning to keep the process going rather than stopping after the 20 pages and having to continue the scan after reloading. I had downloaded the software prior to my trip and had no issues using it while offline. I was able to change the settings to my desired resolution, change between color and black and white as necessary with no issues. The word recognition was also really helpful to create a searchable document.

Linda Lee: This scanner is so fast! I couldn't believe how quickly it scanned a pile of papers. I work with contracts and need to send copies to everyone once they are fully executed. This scanner is so much faster than my old one and I love that it scans both sides of the paper at once. I also love that after it scans you can pick if you want both sides or just the front and you can adjust the documents quickly after they get scanned in case a page or 2 is a little crooked. I also love that you can choose to Save it or Print it or Email it... right away and I like that it doesn't take up that much space on my desk. The only negatives are this: You can't adjust the brightness of the pages and although you can scan pictures into jpg format, pictures don't come out very clear. So if you're looking for a scanner for documents to put into PDF format this scanner is great! But if you're looking to scan pictures it would be best to buy a flat bed scanner that works better with photos.

O arquivo digitalizado pode ser salvo, enviado para a nuvem, enviado para a impressora, entre outras opções.

DS: For the last 12 years during tax season I have sat, painstakingly scanning docs on my flatbed scanner. I never realized how horrendously slow it was. This year it gave me attitude, so I finally decided to buy a dedicated scanner and I chose this one because it offers duplex (both sides) scanning. When I opened the box I plugged it in and it basically set itself up. No issues at all. It prompted me to insert a page to do a test scan. It was QUICK! So I proceeded to scan my tax documents. Two packets of docs totaling around 35 pages were scanned and ready to email to the appropriate place in under a minute! This is a process that usually takes me at least 20 minutes. I noticed a few of the reviews said that the pages sometimes scan a little crooked. This happened to me too, but the docs can still be read easily. I'm sure there's a fix, but in this case it just doesn't matter. I'm kicking myself that I took so long to get a dedicated scanner. The ES-200 is incredibly easy to use.

Little Hugs Big Dreams: I just bought an Epson ET-4700 a few months ago & didn't want to buy a separate scanner just to scan years of paperwork I needed to back up. After trying to scan maybe 3 pages max, the Epson printer is made to only print well, but the scanner really sucks! too slow & sometimes the papers get stuck. So being cheap was not an option anymore because I had boxes & boxes of tax papers & documents I need to free up half of my room! This little scanner works soooo well, it scanned really quick, great quality & soooo easy to set up & use.
I can't believe I waited this darn long to get a seperate scanner, please, if you are on the fence, get this one! It's not too expensive & works beautifully!
I highly recommend!

Dennis: Wow, what can I say, this is a great little scanner! I bought it to replace an old Canon flatbed scanner that I have been using for 7-8 years to scan documents into my computer. What used to take 20 minutes to scan a 10 page double sided document I can now do in a couple of minutes - and the image quality is excellent!

I was planning on keeping the old flatbed scanner in case I wanted to scan photos, but the image quality is so good on the ES-200 that I have no need to keep the old one around.

The software that comes with the scanner works well. You place the sheets in the feed tray and then press the scan button. The software automatically opens on your computer and it begins scanning the pages. When it has finished, you can delete or reorder the pages, then either save the document or do one of many things, like emailing it or uploading it to cloud storage. The software can do OCR to automatically detect the text in a document making for easy searching or copy/paste.

Word of warning though, the scanner does not come with a software disk, just a sheet of paper with a web address where to go to download the software. But I had no...
