Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Epson WorkForce ES-580W has significantly improved my workflow. The wireless capability means I can place it wherever it’s most convenient, and the duplex scanning ensures that I can quickly and efficiently handle all my scanning needs. The touchscreen is a game-changer, making the scanner incredibly easy to operate, even for those who aren’t particularly tech-savvy. The build quality feels robust and durable, and the sleek design looks great in my office setup. It’s clear that Epson has paid attention to both functionality and aesthetics with this model. In summary, the Epson WorkForce ES-580W Wireless Duplex Touchscreen Scanner is an outstanding product that offers excellent performance, ease of use, and high-quality results. Whether for personal use or a busy office, this scanner is a fantastic investment that I wholeheartedly recommend.

The automatic document feeder is wonderful; I've already plowed through around 5,000 pages of documents since buying it, and it's taken big 25-page stacks of documents without ever misfeeding. (You still do have to be reasonably careful to straighten letter-sized documents before feeding, but that's expected.) Double-sided scanning works very nicely. The provided software is relatively bare-bones (no ability to highlight or redact documents, etc.), but it's very easy to use and produces nice searchable PDFs. Strongly recommended.

Great product! I use this mobile scanner for my mobile notary business and it truly makes everything easier to navigate! Set up to my phone and laptop was very easy!

Very easy to setup out of the box and connect to my computer. Scanning is fast and good quality, OCR works very well when creating PDF files. Excellent product.

Great Scanner, fast and clear. It scans both sides really fast. I have a firm and its necessary for my business.

I’m still learning all the features of this scanner but it has everything I need plus more.

I love this scanner! It is fast and easy to scan multiple pages quickly! I am so glad to have it.

Great scanner for my mobile notary business. Scans back fast and clear.

Awesome Scanner! You will love how easy it is to set up and use. Plug’N’Play makes it simple to get started. If you need a scanner then this is your model.

Easy setup right out of the box. Great scans of documents and pictures.

Easy to use and install. Can scan multiple documents.

Keeps disconnecting and have to use USB. The scanner itself is great, however the supporting software is not.

I read tons of reviews before deciding to buy this Epson scanner. Got it home and after one day, I had to go back to Best Buy and purchased a different one instead. I bought this scanner in particular because it said it could scan up to 100 pages. I would have been satisfied if it could do 80, or even 70, but it didn't even come close. At best, it could handle about 30-35 pages without having a paper jam. Anything more, and I'd get a paper jam and would have to remove some pages. I used standard 20# paper, and I fanned it as per the instructions. I even called Epson and described the problem to them. They said it sounded like it was a defective part. It also would grab the paper and ruin the originals, both with roller marks and indentations on the top and on the sides. I bought the Epson Receipt Scanner instead, but ran into EXACTLY the same problems!!! Epson said that it uses the same mechanism. The rep assured me that I wasn't doing anything incorrectly, and again said it sounded like a product defect. So that was 2 scanners I had to buy and return. I eventually kept the Epson FastFoto scanner. However, I ended up spending $150 more. The FastFoto doesn't handle 100 pages either (as advertised), but at least it handles more than 35!

This is a nice, really fast desktop document scanner. I have used many scanners but this one is a piece of art loaded with technology. I have been using this wireless scanner for about a week and really impressed so far. It is easy to set up, quiet, fast, and very easy to use. It is a powerful way to de-clutter and organizes your life from loads of papers. The instructions were user-friendly and easy to follow. The large 4.3-inch touch screen and wireless connectivity allow to easily scan to a smartphone, tablet, computer, or a cloud. It has 100 sheets ADF which quickly scan stacks of paper. The wireless feature is a bonus in getting our old and new paperwork scanned into files and eliminating boxes of old paperwork and enabling us to share family records. The documents scanned really fast (up to 35 ppm/70 ipm) and the best part was it is a duplex scanner which means you insert the page once and both sides are scanned. I scanned all the bills (crushed, crumpled receipts from grocery stores, gas stations, etc. that are really thin) at a lightning-fast speed without a paper jam!! And believe me, this is the first time I was able to scan without a paper jam. I also scanned my driver’s license and credit cards which were really easy because of this device. The software is easy to use and understand. The application has all the rich features which I love and has a different number of dropdowns that are simple to understand and work with. I used the custom mode to have it work according to my wish. It worked pretty well, and the output was awesome. Using Epson ScanSmart software I was easily able to preview, email, or upload my scans to my choice of device. The included TWAIN driver ensures compatibility with most document management software. Wirelessly scan to cloud storage accounts, create searchable PDFs, and get remarkable image quality with Epson Image Processing Technology. It creates searchable PDFs with optical character recognition (OCR); convert scanned documents to editable word and excel files If you're in the market for a stand-alone desktop scanner or scan many documents day to day, take a serious look at the ES-580W Wireless Duplex Touchscreen Desktop Document as it is fast, accurate, and easy to set up while taking up little space. Highly recommended! This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-580W Wireless Duplex Touchscreen Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

I was amazed at how easy this Epson WorkForce ES-580W Document Scanner was to set up. The software had step by step instructions for downloading to my laptop and there were no glitches. After the scanner was turned on I set the language and time' the download was complete and ready to scan in less than 10 minutes. This is the easiest way to save documents whether you are looking to scan recipes, receipts, invoices or any other documents to your computer, email or online cloud storage. It even has the capability to scan without a computer to a USB memory drive. The best part is it's wireless but also comes with a USB cable if you want to hook it up directly to your computer. The touch-screen is easy to navigate and the unit has a 100 sheet auto document feed. I did a trial scan of some recipes and saved them to my laptop in a RECIPE file. Next I scanned a variety of about 20 invoices using the auto feed and every sheet ran through perfectly. This scanner is perfect for home or business and I plan to use it in my home office to keep everything neatly organized in computer files. I am very impressed with how simple the instructions were and easy to download the software to be ready to start scanning and get organized. No more piles of receipts and invoices, everything is neatly filed on my computer. Whether you are scanning 3x5 recipe cards, invoices or 8x10 documents, the paper width can easily be adjusted to the width needed. There is also a scanner maintenance tab where it shows step by step photos for cleaning the roller. I can't say enough on how easy this document scanner is to use from set-up, using, storing and cleaning when needed. I am totally impressed with the quality, the construction, how easy it is to operate and the overall look and size of this Epson ES-580W.

============================= >>>>> Bottom Line Up front: <<<<< ============================= The Epson WorkForce ES-580W document scanner does everything right. It’s compact, easy to use, handles multiple paper/document sizes with ease, has TWAIN driver support and best of all – IT IS WIRELESS! Scanned documents can be single OR duplex – Black and White or Full Color – regardless of the input provided – the ES-580W’s image quality was spot on. From the office and productivity style workloads that I used it for, its pretty hard to beat. What I liked: =========== - Small foot print, and super easy to get setup and going on a basic level - Colorful responsive 4.3” touchscreen - High quality, fast document scans, regardless of document size/shape - It’s WIRELESS!!! - USB port for direct access What I didn’t like so much: ====================== - while sturdy – still feels a little to light and plasticky to me - lack of detail on mobile app name/installation/usage - you MSUT install Epson Smart Scan Software to unlock full device potential =============================================== >>>>> Personal Observations after a regular usage: <<<<< =============================================== If you’re in the market for a document scanner – chances are you have a lot documents you need to scan A LOT of documents - quickly, accurately – and OFTEN. I can definitely say that this was the case for me. I have traditionally relied on larger/commercial grade document scanners in my office environment of ‘yor – however as we all know – the ‘RONA” has fundamentally changed the way a lot of us “work” these days. I haven’t been able to use those fancy commercial document scanners stored away at the big office for months now – so I have been relying on my Multi-Function Laser “All in One” – to do all the heavy lifting at home since then. Enter the Epson WorkForce ES-580W document scanner. Initially, I didn’t know what to expect given, the compact size of this unit - particularly compared to what I was accustomed to using traditionally at work. For starters, I was pleasantly surprised at how well the Auto Document Feeder handled the 50-100 sheets of documents that would feed throughout my day. I have a lot of presentation style slides, and contract type documents I am constantly scanning and sharing/collaborating with members of my team – and while my traditional Multifunction all in one would handle it…it was a cumbersome process, that wasn’t exactly the most time efficient. – the ES-580W on the other hand…. made it significantly faster and easier thanks to its 4.3” touch screen and wireless access from ALL of my devices across my home office (and then some … more on that a little later). Thanks to the TWAIN drivers, uploading the scans directly into Photoshop for the times you may need to made some creative adjustments to any images you’re working with. That being said, my use with the ES-580W was mainly for 50-100 mixed photo document scans for sharing with other as previously pointed out. For those purposes – I couldn’t ask for more than what this Epson has to offer. Images were crisp, clear and in no way any different than if I had used my Multifunction’s built-in scanner – only the ES-580W did everything I normally do in a fraction of the time. I was a little skeptical with the duplex scanning functionality – seeing as how you can some times run into issues with them “misaligning” the images as it passes through the auto document feeder – but I am happy to say that wasn’t the case in any of the documents I was working with. BONUS – I also found that the ES-580W worked really well to scan receipts and invoices as well…. I consider myself a huge organization guy – borderline OCD – and I traditionally file all my invoices any receipts in my trusty 6 drawer filing cabinet that is dedicated for just that. I have been telling my self I need to digitize my records and invoices, and man was I happy when I saw that the ES—580W handled all the odd shapes of traditional receipts and mixed sized documents with ease. Interestingly, EPSON makes similar devices that are marketed for just hat purpose, but the ES-580W seems to excel for work AND play – so to me it is the better value. I didn’t heavily use the USB functionality to make direct scans from there – but if you’re the type that is constantly moving large workloads/documents on mobile thumb drives/external storage – I imagine that will be huge for you. The 4.3” inch touch screen made using the menu’s easy – and for the most part, set up was painless and quick. Epson did a good job making the ES-580W being one of those things you don’t really need to read the instruction to get it set up – you can just plug it in and get going, or it will tell you what you need to work right on the display. Speaking of software - If there was some room for improvement – it would be nice if the the packaging or setup guide had a little more detail regarding software installation instructions. While it included very rudimentary instructions, and made a mention of installing the desktop “Smart Scan Software” – it made NO mention of the name of the Epson mobile App required for use on mobile devices – for reference it is called: “Epson Smart Panel” – on Android - which is not the same as the desktop software. It would be nice if Epson made mention of the name in the instruction or at least kept the software name the same – because if you search “Espon” in the App store you get at least 3 or 4+ hits of legitimate Epson software products. While the Desktop “Smart Scan” software was super and easy to use, it is key to installing to get the most functionality out of the ES-580W. The mobile “Espon Smart Panel” has a very clean, well-organized layout – however not all of the functionality is available in the mobile app interface when I compared it to the desktop software. Regardless, it made running scans and work loads from my other PC's, tablets, and mobile devices a breeze...it was fun to see what I could do. Mainly, though, for me having the ability to have team member collaborate and run scan when working with me in my home office that much better - so if that is something your finding yourself doing - a wireless device is a must. ========================== >>>>> Closing thoughts: <<<<< ========================== The Epson ES-580W is hard to beat from a home office perspective. It scanned all the power points, slides, worksheets, spreadsheets … receipts .. invoices… etc, etc – without skipping a beat. The Auto document feeder never jammed, and the resulting scan quality was great. The time the ES-580W has saved me from my traditional routine more than justifies what Epson is asking for this device, at least from my point of view. Yes, it is a little on the “plasticky” side – but what isn’t these days – the light wight and small foot print more than makes up for it. I can’t recommend this device enough if you’re looking to add a solid document scanner to take your “work from home” routine to the next level.

I purchased multiples of these because I was going to digitize my world. I hate having paper around. I remember reading that this was supposed to have a life of about 200,000 scans. Well, I haven’t even hit 5,000 scans yet and it no longer senses that paper is loaded to be scanned. I’ve done all of the trouble shooting. Nothing works. It’s out of the 1 year warranty. It’s money down the drain. So, if you want to throw away $400 for it to last about a year and a half…this is your product! If you want something that lasts longer, look elsewhere.

This is one of the fastest, smoothest working scanners that exist today, the Epson Workforce ES-580W scanner. It came well packaged, yet was easy to get out and setup. The accompanying guides made for a quick read since they are easy to understand and well-illustrated. The setup is easily done via the wireless-duplex-touchscreen. Instructions advise you to download the appropriate software for computer or phone and list the sites they are available at. Scanning can then be started from the unit itself, a computer or a smart mobile device. It will connect either via wireless or the included USB cable. I saw no difference at all between the two. You can directly load the output to a variety of places including the computer, cloud, email etc. It offers various output formats and will scan individual or large amount of items from its loading tray. I have set many pages on the tray and watched it scan with nary a concern, unbelievably fast. I wanted to see what would happen if it jammed and cross folded a document. It stopped and on the screen showed me how to resolve it in mere seconds. The output files are really good, sharp and colorful. I had been using a major manufacturer’s multi-function unit for scanning and as good as that is, this is massively better. This is a compact unit – about 12 inches wide with extendable input and output trays. The power switch is on the face and the unit is quickly ready to work.

This is an office must have!!! My wife is a CPA and telecommutes one day a week. She scans all kinds of financial documents all the time! At home we had a flat scanner and that is just not practical when you have 10, 15, 20 double sided bank statements ect. I also can work from home from time to time and bridging the paper world into the all digital world can be a real pain but the Epson Workforce ES-580 wireless scanner really makes some strides in making that easier. Set-up was easy as far as putting the unit together. The Epson comes with a usb cable if you wanted to connect it that way but the wireless part is really awesome feature. It makes it easy to set up where ever you need it with out having to carry a cable around. It doesn't have to be in close proximity to the computer. Keep in mind you still have to have a plug in near you though. I also really like the small footprint of the unit on my desk! Fits right in to my crowded office environment and looks sharp as well. I had a little trouble setting up the regular drivers from Epson’s website. The scanner was not connecting. I think it was because I have a dual band router and the desktop was on one band and the scanner on another. Make sure your computer and the Scanner are on the same band! I became impatient and just decided to do a direct wifi set up with my computer. Super easy. Got it all ready and scanned 10 double-sided documents with color logos on the stationary. IT BREEZED though them. Super-fast! The scan speed alone really impressed me but then the Epson software popped up on my computer and I was really excited. Getting documents scanned in is one thing but what is the format? Where does it save the documents to? Then I have to go find them and attach as an email or copy and paste into word to put into a work binder excreta… Well the Epson software box popped open after the scan and I had at a single click very useful and commonly used document management at my hands (see pic). I could save it to my HDD sure, but it had a box I could click to do an attachment, or to send to drop box, or Evernote, or Google drive, MS Word or Excel!! You can also customize where you send it! It also has a limited trial for receipt management. Super useful tools that really enhance productivity! Those are all the places I would send the docs anyway! I sent the documents to MS Word to see the quality. The scan was crisp and clean and the color logos were true to color. The documents scanned and looked presentation ready. Fast, awesome quality scan with super intuitive software makes this a winner for sure! If you have to still work in a paper world and transfer into the digital world this Epson Workforce will make life soooooo much easier!

The Epson WorkForce ES-580W Wireless Duplex Touch Screen a scanner was pretty easy to get up and running. It only had 3 pieces and was quick to assemble. You plug it in and are guided through the process. In fact the most complicated step would be connecting to your wifi which most people have done with multiple devices... Some of my favorite features included the ability to rapidly scan two sided documents or even something as small as a business card. The document feeder can hold as much as one hundred pages. It was also quick to send scans to your favorites thanks to shortcut keys. The Epson Scan Smart software .is easy for the novice user to figure out and quickly start using.The touchscreen was also easy to read and scroll through due to its 4.3” size. It also offers quick access to frequently used cloud storage accounts. The practicality of this device for home office use can’t be beat. “This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-580W Wireless Duplex Touchscreen Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”
