Customer Ratings & Reviews

My initial impression of this scanner is that it is built really well. The scanner itself weighs a few pounds and feels built pretty solid. Setting up the scan is fairly easy. The physical part of setting up the scanner is really easy. The difficult part is the downloading and installing the drivers onto my computer. I am using a PC with Windows 10. My first attempt in installing the driver caused my whole computer to freeze so I had to do a force restart. When my computer restarted, I was able to reinstall the driver which this time it worked with no problems. This is one of the reasons why I give this product only 4 stars out of 5 stars. The scanner software is very easy to use once installed. You add your document to your scanner and you can initiate the scanning from your computer which is really nice or you can initiate it from the actual scanner. For the price point, I am very surprised that this scanner does not have the ability to do wireless scanning. This scanner does not have the ability to be wireless and can not connect to your wifi which really sucks because either I have to have the scanner on my desk by my computer or I have to have a really long usb cable for the scanner. A positive and cool thing about this scanner is that it scans super quick and I am super impressed with its ability to scan both sides of a document at once and can do it very quickly. If you have a ton of documents to scan, this scanner will make your life so much easier. You can also scan all sizes of papers from regular sheets or paper to receipts. It is so easy to use once it is set up. This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-865 Color Duplex Document scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

When I received and opened the box, I was surprised at how light and small it is. This is great since you are able to move it around, if needed, and it does not take up a lot of space on your desk. Taking it out of the box was easy, especially since it is so light. I don’t mean light as in flimsy, I mean that in weight, and it does feel quite durable. The quick start guide was great! It was so simple and walked me through the steps of setting it up. The setup was fairly quick, the only thing that took a while, I would say about 20 minutes or so, was downloading the software. I then went on to test it out. Boy, this thing is quick! I was so surprised. I have never used a scanner that was this fast. The page shoots right out in about a second and your scanned page is immediately on your screen. I then went on to try a double sided document. I was thinking I would need to turn it over, making sure it was the correct way so it didn’t end up upside down on the screen (a common problem I have had with other scanners in the past), but to my surprise, I looked up on the screen an both sides we already done in one scan! In order to try something besides a regular sheet of paper, I took out an old box of photos that I do not have any digital copies of. I adjusted the paper tray to the size of the photo and clicked the button. It scanned perfectly and also scans the other side of the photo. I saw on the computer screen that you can turn this option off, but I decided to keep it on, since most of my photos have names and dates and other important information on the back. How neat that you have the option to do this and can save all your important photo information. I plan on doing more old photos so that I can share online with friends and family, and also have plans to save a lot of digital copies of documents so that I can clear some clutter. I can’t wait to use it some more. It is also simple enough that my 9-year-old daughter can use it, and she is enjoying helping me with the photos.

The Epson WorkForce ES-865 is small but mighty for an at home scanner. You can easily set this up following the provided instructions in a matter of minutes. This scanner is compact but it gets the job done for sure. It scans at a quick pace and produces a very high quality picture in no time. I use mine mainly for work since I am now working mainly remotely now due to the pandemic and it has been a godsend. I have attached to emails to co-workers and I have had no issues and best of all no complaints. The scanner defaults to 200 dpi image but you can adjust this to your liking as well. The software you install, Epson ScanSmart is easy to learn so you can become better acquainted with your scanner so you can use it for more things such as a document archiver to reduce your paper in your home. It also has the capabilities to scan on both sides as well. All in all I am very happy with the Epson WorkForce ES-865 Color Scanner in my home office. This is a great addition to my Epson printer. It gets the job done and it hasn't let me down. This is a review for the Epson Workforce ES-865 Color Duplex Document scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

If you are looking for a way to quickly scan numerous documents, then the ES-865 Color Duplex Scanner is the absolute best on the market. I've owned other scanners and this is absolutely beyond fast. The ES-865 can scan 65 ppm at 300 dpi and can scan both sides in a single pass. Fully load the document feeder (100 pages) and then they are scanned in less than 2 minutes. You're able to scan business cards and ID cards. It also has a Slow Speed Mode for delicate scans. This a great addition for virtual schooling as it saves time by not having to take a picture of the work and then submit it. Easily scan and post. Time saver equals happy Dad! Epson has surpassed what I would have expected in a fast document scanner. It also has double-feed detection and Skew Correction to help with misfeeds. Output resolution from 50 to 1200 dpi. Small footprint scanner fits easily on my desk. Also handles most paper sizes for great quality scanning. It includes a LCD front panel with push buttons for operation.

I am SO happy with this scanner so far! First things first, the quality of this scanner is amazing. And, it's durable too! This scanner is built so well that I don't feel like I'm going to break it when I use it. It also uses the best software for a scanner, which makes it much easier to use. The first thing you are going to want to do, is plug in the scanner and then download the drivers from the internet, onto your computer. It is super easy to download the drivers, and the instructions that come with the scanner give you step by step instructions on how to do it. Once that's done, you plug in the USB cable and that completes the set up, and you are ready to use the scanner! Using this scanner has been a breeze too! It's SO easy to use. You just put the document you want into the scanner, press the scan button and VOILA! This scanner is also VERY fast! I can't believe how fast it scans a document! I've never had a scanner that can scan in 1 second. It shoots the document right through, and then the scanned document pops up on your computer screen instantly. You can also use this scanner to create PDF and editable excel or word files. I have never seen a scanner that can do that, so that was a nice bonus for me! This scanner can scan up to 100 pages at a time too, which is a LOT. It is lightning quick and intuitive. Another thing about this scanner that I love, is how easy it is to navigate. The buttons are super easy to use and respond fast. The LCD screen is also nice and each option on the screen is labeled clearly so it's easy to know what option you are using. There are a lot of buttons but each one is labeled so you don't get confused as to what they do. It's just a really well laid out scanner!! Once you are done using the scanner, you can just power it off until next time, or leave it on whatever you want to do! It boots up really quick too which is also really nice. All in all, I LOVE this scanner and don't have enough great things to say about it! If you are someone who is looking for a GREAT professional/personal scanner, this one is perfect! You will not regret trying it, so give it a shot!!!! This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-865 Color Duplex Document scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

While the brown box it comes in may be a bit unassuming, this high-speed scanner is no joke! I remember when they finally added auto document feeders to flatbed scanners and I thought that was a great time saver. Well, my expectations have just been reset. This scanner screams through documents. I put a stack of 25 pages in the feeder, some had previously been stapled, some had been folded in half and some had printing on both sides, the ES-865 flew through the entire stack in less than 30 seconds with no feed issues and very good image quality on both front and back of the page. It really does bring a smile to your face knowing you can get scan huge piles of documents in just minutes. The default image quality (200dpi) on high speed is certainly good enough for any document archiving, but you can choose a lower speed with higher quality should you need it all the way up to 1200dpi. The Epson ScanSmart software is fast and easy to use, it lets you control most of the settings for the scanner and helps get your work done quickly. The only thing I would change would be to make the screen on the scanner a bit larger as it makes it a bit difficult to go through the on-screen settings, but as most of this can be controlled by the software anyway it is not a big issue at all. Overall, this is a fantastic document scanner (receipts and photos too!) and I am truly impressed with the quality and speed it delivers and would recommend this to anyone that needs to do significant amounts of document scanning or archiving.

I love the size, it's perfect to move it wherever it's needed. I am using it to work from the house and I am also taking the opportunity to scan some documents that I had physically saved and that took up a lot of space (now I will save them digitally). This Epson DS-865 Scanner is super-fast, it is something impressive especially with quality that it does and the resolution that the scanned documents have left me speechless. Scan both sides of documents with a single pass saving me time by not having to scan them individually. The physical structure of the scanner is solid with good quality rigid plastics and has a good fit of the components. The footprint is small and compact and that helps with desktop placement and positioning. I've scanned a lot of pages and I haven't had a paper jam. The output trays and automatic feeder are versatile and easy to handle so different paper sizes are adapted. You can scan business cards, ID cards, photos, among others. After opening the packaging and assembling it use the included quick guide to set it up. Super simple, simple and easy to understand. I was able to download and install the software from the website successfully and install it without “This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-865 Color Duplex Document scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”

I would definitely say that this workforce scanner is amazing it is super fast and very effective and efficient. What I really like about it was from the beginning I thought it was very easy to set up and followed the directions. It worked right away without having to research or do anything other than just set up. I also like the fact that the size is perfect for my small Home Office. It's very compact but powerful exactly what I needed for working from home. I definitely feel like it's very simple to use and gets the job done with little effort. One of the really cool things about it is that it's able to do double sided in a single pass meaning that you can scan both sides easily and also very quickly. But I also think it's great for saving documents to my computer or scanning things into my computer to save for later. It also works really well with word which is super convenient since I use word documents and word files all the time period I would definitely recommend for a few reasons one being the size it's super compacts great for small spaces plus it integrates really well with technology and is super fast at getting the job done. “This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-865 Color Duplex Document scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”

I am beyond pleased with using this Epson workforce color duplex document scanner. Unpacking and set up was very easy, the scanner itself is actually surprisingly light weight with small, non bulky cords. The given instructions made downloading the software very simple and installation was quick. Setting controls with the full color LCD screen makes scanning documents simple and worry free. I absolutely love how it scans both sides at the same time, saving time and giving beautiful results. The color from document to scan is just as vibrant and and full of pixels, leaving your saved files easy to manage, edit, save, and or send to others. I have been using this Epson scanner to scan my homeschool worksheets, art work, and documents for schooling at the end of each learning period (monthly). This makes keeping track of each years school work and progress, so much easier and less pile up of paperwork. I would highly recommend this product, great quality with fantastic results for both home and office use.

I am really impressed with the quality and speed that this scanner provides. It scans both sides of the documents with a single pass, it saves time not having to scan them individually. This is very easy to set up and use, the driver that is included with this allows it to work smoothly with any software. The size of the scanner is great, perfect size to move around to wherever it's needed! I love that I am able to upgrade to the accounting edition. I am very unorganized, so the upgrade helps me keep all my important receipts, papers, and even pictures organized and easily accessible. Now that I have used this scanner, I don't know how I managed without it!

I was quite surprised when I opened the box and found this very small form factor Epson ES-865 scanner and rightfully so since having a scanner that doesn't take up a ton of desk space is really awesome. Once opened it came with everything needed to get started quickly. In the box were the scanner, power block, printer cable, and quick start guide. It took me about five minutes to set up and start the software install. Once the software was installed I tested the scanner and it's so quick that if you are not looking you will miss the quickness in which is scans. Once I scanned I checked out the quality of the scans and I will say it is superb in capturing the document in the true form right out the box at 200 DPI. You can of course change your DPI and other settings in the app to get better quality of scans to your liking but I was happy with the standard settings. The application itself is good but the issue is that there are two different scanning apps under the Epson folder for this device, Scan Smart for when you hit the scan button on the scanner, and Scan 2 from the OS for scanning. I find that Scan 2 gives you more option before scanning to choose what your scanning. Other than that they are easy to use and not to complicated. Would I recommend this scanner to people? Yes, I would since this is the fastest, and smallest scanner I have used in a long time for home use, and the ease of use and quality makes it a great option for people who scan a lot or for a home-based business. I have seen smaller scanners with clients in the IT field but are usually not this fast or the image quality is ok at best.

This is a very versatile and very fast document scanner, perfect for the small business or home office. It is compact, well-constructed, and performs very well. Setup is very easy, unboxing only takes a few minutes. Simply attach the feed tray and remove the shipping tape that prevents pieces from moving and potentially being damaged in shipping. The scanner is packaged securely and there were clear instructions for unboxing and setup as soon as you open the box. Loading the software is also very easy, the download and installation completed without any issues on my Windows 10 laptop. Once installed, connect the scanner's USB cable and power it up, and you're ready to scan. The scanner itself is excellent. I was skeptical that it could perform as advertised in such a small device -- but I was pleasantly surprised. This scanner is amazingly FAST and produces very high-quality scans for documents with text, images, and mixed content in both color and black & white. I have passed nearly 1000 sheets through the scanner in a short week of ownership and it has not jammed or misfed a single time, nor have I had any issues with misaligned pages, which is not uncommon for auto-feed scanners. It scans single and double-sided (duplex) at blazing speeds and accuracy. The input tray holds between 50 and 100 sheets of standard paper, depending on the paper weight. Two software utilities are included, Scan 2 and ScanSmart. The Scan 2 is more of a basic scan utility that allows you to select a variety of settings on the scanner. The ScanSmart software is a bit more user-friendly and is great for larger scanning jobs and for saving scans to Word format with OCR. My initial reaction was that I was disappointed that the scanner did not support WiFi. At this price point, it seems like that should be a given. However, after doing some research and thinking about it, I believe that the reason that WiFi is not supported is simple: WiFi speeds are not fast enough to keep up with how fast this scanner can scan pages. USB 3.0 provides 5 Gbit/s bandwidth, and the vast majority of WiFi routers and laptops out there supporting 802.11ac are going to max out at less than 1 Gbit/s at best. If you look at the competing scanners that do include WiFi, their scan speeds are nowhere near as fast as this scanner. It was a necessary trade-off. It might have been nice to include WiFi with the caveat that scan speeds would be drastically reduced, so that for occasions when we don't need the ultimate speed we can have the convenience of WiFi, but I'm sure that would have resulted in a lot of people calling customer support and posting bad reviews if they didn't understand the limitations of using the scanner over WiFi. So for that, I totally understand why they chose to not include WiFi on this scanner. Overall I am very impressed with this scanner, it is perfect for my home office business uses.

This es-865 scanner is so easy to use. I found out from unboxing to set up and use. Once out if the box you plus 2 clrds together then 1 end into the back of the scanner and the other into the outlet. It also has a cord to go from the scanner to the computer. The easy set up guide that is included walk you through the simple steps. 1st you need to go to the website to download the program. Answer a few questions and your all set. You pull the top tray and then the bottom out. Once everything is set up and install it is time to use it. You load the papers at the top and hit the scan button. They shot throught and pop up on the computer. You can then edit/rotate, name and save to the appropriate folder. This scanner is nice quick, quiet and can scan color or black and white print/pictures. This scanner can scan both sides at once and up to 65 pages per minute which eliminates flipping and rescanning. “This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-865 Color Duplex Document scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”

I love it! It came in a small box and as soon as you open it, it tells you how to pull it out or remove it from the box to avoid damage. At first look you can see its quite small, which In my opnion its great as it doesnt take much space in your office. Setting it up was rather simple and quick. The instructions are very clear. All the programs are downloaded directly from website to your computer, no disc needed. The installation was quite fast and was able to scan my first document with no problems at all. You have the choice to adjust it to the size in width of your document to avoid it from moving and causing a paper jam. All in all, I think its a great scanner. Simple and very user friendly.

I only have words of love for this amazing duplex document scanner, it is easy to use and super useful for scanning color documents with high quality and well detailed digital images, the connection is super easy, I love its led screen and its speed of scanning is super good for those days that I am stuck in the office and need to get the papers out fast, if you have an office you need this in your life.receive this epson workforce es-865 color duplex document scanner that I received free of Charge ro do a beta test an Review

This high quality scanner is very user friendly and was ready to go in fifteen minutes right out of the box after downloading and installing the necessary online driver software. The product arrived tight and securely packed, which included easy to follow directions, the power cord, and usb cable to connect to a laptop or desktop computer's usb port. I have been using this scanner for close to a week and I am highly impressed by the scanner's durable design, portability, and especially the speed and accuracy that the Epson WorkForce ES-865 Color Duplex Document Scanner is able to scan duplex (front and back) documents without having any jamming issues and the tray can hold up to 100 standard sized sheets of paper! I especially like that there are several options available on how to store and save completed scans, such as using Dropbox, Google Drive, Word, Excel, attaching to emails, print, or even sending to OneDrive. I noticed that the scanner did not have any Wi-Fi capabilities, but for the purposes for which I use this scanner, I think by having Wi-Fi ability possibly would've slowed down the scanner's speed. I highly recommend this scanner for the office or home business that needs a high rate of scanning speed with clear, high quality duplex sided scans. This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-865 Color Duplex Document Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test.

The scanner works fast and the Epson software that manages the scanner is great because let you rotate pages or delete unwanted pages before saving the document. However, the scanner constantly detects ghosts jams and keep doing it even after you clean it.

I want to start off saying that I love this scanner. It is one of the easiest scanners I have worked with. It comes with step by step instructions for installing the Epson ES-865 program. It is also very simple to put together. This scanner is compatible with windows 10. I was able to put about 8 pieces of paper, at once, to be scanned. It gives you options for one sided and double sided. It was a window on the scanner that also helps you set your your scanner or cancel pending scans. I am a stay at home mom with tons of school paper work and other important papers I tend to lose track of. I absolutely love this scanner and I recommend for any home or office!
