Susan McEwen: The packaging tape was not attached, the foam packaging was all broken up, and the scanner will not work. I want to return it.

Sam Wales: I bought this item when they first hit the market years ago, bought another because I was use to the software and did not want up hill battle learning new. That said the scanning rate auto paper feed is way below advertised specs at 300dpi your looking at about 4-6 sheets per minute.
On the other hand it does the job its simple my previous model the auto feed motor gearbox became faulty other wise I would still be using it.
I do not use the text recognition software that slows everything down to almost dead a stop.(DO NOT INSTALL IT AT ALL!) In the office and pro mode there are numerous adjustments one can make before scanning which is handy for poor quality originals.
Its too bad Epson did not look at the auto feed and maybe re jig the scanning element for an up to date home office scanner( IE: FASTER)
This unit works on WIn 8.1 FYI . I don,t like all-in-ones as your left with half a machine working in event of failure of one feature.(IE scan or print)also THIS UNIT SIZE FITS IN AN EXISTING SPACE WHERES AS THE ALL IN ONE WOULD NOT Plus we have an existing Brothers laser printer

Comments: Faced with a project of digitizing all my Treasure Magazines, Operational Manuals, the usual onslaught of Bills and Misc, it was apparent to me that using my trusty Epson Perfection 4870 Scanner would be tedious. After a day or two researching the reviews on Amazon, Buzzilion, Epinons and Google-Yahoo Searchers, I decided on the Epson Workforce GT-1500. Amazon seemed to have the most competitve price including service so within 5 business days, I received my brand new GT-1500.

Software Installation and USB Hook-up to my Dell Laptop (Windows 7) was a breeze. I had de-spined a bunch of magazines & manuals in preparation of the 'project' using a 17 Page Rated Guillotine Cutter by XACTO.

I used the Epson Office Mode with enhance of the text descreening. Since the Treasure Magazines (Western and Eastern, Lost Treasure,...

Plato Walks Into a bar...: After many false starts with several scanners the Epson GT-1500 has earned a permanent place in this book scanner's office (until the prices on commercial units come down). Most of the reviews for the Epson GT-1500 are, quite reasonably, predicated on the idea that most customers will use the product in a small or home office environment. This review is from the perspective of one who wishes to use the GT-1500 as a book scanner or archival tool.

Pros:
- The GT-1500 is extremely fast. Much faster than any of the Canon or Brother scanners that I tried and faster even than Epson's own multipurpose scanner/printer/fax machines.
- Document handing on the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) is remarkably reliable. From glossy magazine papers to heavily milled 32lb papers to newsprint-quality paperback paper the ADF seldom jammed and never grabbed two sheets of paper.
- Resolution is great for OCR (Optical Character Recognition.

Cons:
- Epson Scan software is clunky and far from convenient. More on this later...
- For a Mac user, the scan to PDF function does not allow for an editable text layer behind an optical scan. In fact, it does not...
