The device itself in small and light weight. Comes with 4 batteries, cleaning wipes, install cd, everything you need to start using it right away... except a charger. Which is why I gave it a 4/5 stars. Everything mechanical has been flawless, connected to the internet right away, can send scanned files to any of my devices; laptop, phones, desk top, tablets.

I needed a way to scan documents. The Epson Workforce DS-40 is small, compact, and has numerous ways it can communicate with your computer or Tablet. I have hooked this up to my PC / Laptop via USB and the process is relatively easy. You install the included software and then press the blue button on the scanner whenever you want to start a new scan. For iPads, you download Epson DocumentScan from the Apple app store (it's free). You then change the Scanner to be a wifi device for your iPad to connect to directly. If you want more detailed settings, the Epson app on PC provides many different sliders and settings. But I tend to use default settings and scan to PDF with great success. It's important to keep the scanner clean (they include one soft cleaning kit and one dry cleaning kit). Dust and specs can create lines in your scanned image. But, again, cleaning is pretty simple to do. If I had a complaint, sometimes I have difficulties getting the document to feed into the scanner and or feed the image straight. That can lead to lopsided scans. It becomes a bigger pain when you have been scanning a series of documents into one file only to realize one of them isn't very straight afterwards. The software is supposed to straighten documents, but its functionality seems to be hit or miss. Still, the price and the portability make this a solid pick-up.
