Product Manuals

Q: I want to scan a large batch of old -photo's with text on the back. Can I continuously feed differently sized photo's and scan both sides at the same time? Can I put each photo in a different file?

A: Hi, The WorkForce ES-300WR Wireless Color Receipt Scanner can scan photos but that is not its primary purpose. It is a receipt scanner. Epson makes a dedicated photo scanner, the FastFoto FF-680W that has a straighter feed path, scans faster, and comes with photo management software. The FF-680W is available at Bestbuy.com (inventory levels can vary). Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.

Fantastic scanner that seems to do it all..quickly
I got this scanner because my wife and I have a LOT of receipts that we need to get organized and this scanner seemed to be a good choice based upon its brand reputation, my prior experience with Epson, the speed at which it would scan documents and the software that came with it allowing for easy filing and sorting of scanned documents. My main trepidation was setting the software up because reading previous reviews of scanners in general it seemed it could be quite difficult. Although I am very computer savvy, at my age I don't like wasting a lot of my limited free time fooling with configuration issues and I'm sure many of you out there do not either. The scanner arrived and out of the box I was impressed with just how small it was. This is a very small footprint. The instructions were pretty much idiot proof across the board using pictures to guide you. The only question I had was pulling out the "ears" that hold the back of the paper was not really shown too well and I had to look at it for a few minutes before I figured out how to pull them up to set it up correctly. Once that was done connecting it to my wi-fi was quite easy using the app. No problems whatsoever and way easier than 99% of everything else I have setup like this. So if you're worried about this being a bear of a setup, worry no more as it is quite easy. Using the scanner is great, it has PDF software included that is quite good and when you scan documents you can setup a certain folder for everything to go to. Of course there are a variety of methods to use to store documents in but I think including the default de-facto standard of PDF is a good one. Scanning is incredibly fast, to the point of, as one reviewer said, watch out for a paper cut because once you feed this little guy the paper he will suck it in pretty quick. When the scanner scans the document it does both sides all at once which is great too. The scans come in very clear and you can edit them to a large degree within the PDF software included ("Power PDF"). This is a great scanner backed by a great company (I also use the Epson printer line and would recommend them as the printer of choice as well after using printers for over 30 years) and one that I would highly recommend if you are looking to take charge of some of your receipts or just, whatever you may need a scanner for. It is certainly not the cheapest one on the market at $399 but you get what you pay for and this scanner is well worth the price. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Excellent Portable Scanner
This portable scanner is the perfect companion for the business traveler who required to scan documents on the go. It has compact design that can fit in portable computer travel bags along with the rest of work tools. I was amazed how fast this thing scan being battery operated it also support double side scan. You can use it any where any time as long as the battery has juice, if not just plug it up using the USB cable or A/C adapter. A/C adapter is dual voltage by the way for those Int’l travelers, universal plug is not included. Great quality build and it has a nice compact design. This thing is great for scanning documents, receipts, IDs, even business cards thanks to the switch selector on top of the scanner. The software (download) for the windows 10 is very good, loaded with lots of features, the phone app was very straight forward. You can save files in various different format such as: PDF, email, Image, Word, Excel, Evernote, PowerPoint, Dropbox, and Google Drive and few others. Scanner can be use via USB, Wi-Fi network, or Wi-Fi direct connect. One thing I did notice that some parts of the scanner are very fragile such as the two wings that support the palate and the paper tray. I also had few issues for instance when some of the documents were not properly lined up they will get stuck, when that happened I had to shut down the app, and the scanner and re-start again. Overall this this scanner is excellent for what it was meant to do, and it does it in a very efficient way. In the box includes the Scanner, USB cable and the power adapter. Pros: Portability Fast Scanning Light weight Double Side Scanning Wireless Cons: Some fragile parts

Great Scanner fo Macs; Some Features are Complex
The Epson-ES-300WR represents the current state-of-the-art in scanning technology. The software Epson includes gave me goosebumps as I witnessed how far OCR has come. It’s been quite a few years since I last tried to unravel the mess older iterations of this technology made trying to parse words and numbers from scanned documents into editable documents. Erase those memories. This is different. SETUP: Requires opening the top cover to expose the paper feed and the POWER Button and plugging in the power cord and USB 3.0 cable (if you are making a WIRED connection to your computer). This portable is wireless, also, with the ability to connect to your network or create a wireless link to a single device. (I didn’t test this with my Mac) There is a built-in rechargeable battery. It’s very easy to scan at client locations. Completing the installation took a few minutes. After a sample scan, I was given the opportunity to save the files (depending on image format chosen) as a PDF, JPEG, PNG, Bitmap, TIFF or searchable PDF or create either an editable WORD or EXCEL (and Powerpoint only in Windows) file type. If you choose either WORD or EXCEL, you are directed to install those APP conversion files In the SETTINGS MENU. You can select other SAVE locations including “Evernote”, email, “DropBox”, a Cloud Drive, Epson’s “Receipt Manager”, etc. PERFORMANCE: Double sided (duplex) scanning begins when you press the button, but watch out for a paper cut, ‘cause this scanner is fast. And, it’s silent. Despite the small size, there is a paper feed that unfolds like origami, and it should handle 20 pages. My first test scan was a government document, with two columns, dates, numbers, titles, and footnotes. In the past, I would never do anything other than save as a PDF. This time, I selected “SAVE AS WORD DOCUMENT” and sure enough I got a saved .docx file. Opening MS WORD, there was my form . . in every way available for editing . . in every way replicating the text in columns . . . in every way allowing me to change titles, or footnotes or numbers. The only flaw? The unique icons used at some subsections were converted into letters, which of course, could be edited as needed. I tried the same thing with a page of mutual funds and associated values. But this time, I asked for an EXCEL file. This didn’t fare so well. My sample output struggled with indents and aligning numbers as it selected columns and rows to fill. I was going to need to do some work. (You could also use other OCR software.) Switching to a collection of photographs, they were scanned quickly and I was given the choice of creating PDFs or JPEGS or TiFF. Image detail and color quality appeared fine and a variety of save parameters can be modified. A range of photo-centric parameters can be modified in the SETTING MENU to solve color, contrast, resolution, gamma or other problems with your originals. The front face of the scanner has a dedicated slot for BUSINESS CARDS (plastic, cardboard) and it can parse addresses, names, phone and email using its included software and it recognizes Mac’s CONTACTS. Well, I'm still working to integrate the pieces, 'cause these software elements are confusing. The instructions for the CARD SCAN software could be easier to find and use. SUMMARY: This version of EPSON’s scanner collection is portable, easy to setup and easy to use for the more typical features (documents//OCR/pictures). [Note to Epson: It’s portable . . please include a simple case.] The idea of scanning documents to subsequently edit is completely practical, because you don’t need to undo OCR errors in most text documents. More complex numerical scans will probably require more effort, although my short ownership period may be the fault here. If you’re archiving photos or documents, this is as close to flawless as a scanner can get. Some features could use updates and/or better instructions. I can recommend this EPSON scanner, but there is a steeper than necessary learning curve for some features.
