Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5What can I say? This scanner is so close to perfect. It does not have wireless capability but I didn't really need that function. I am so happy with the quality of my scans and oh boy, how fast it is. I was using an all in one that would take ages to activate the scanner. I am literally IN LOVE!!! Super fast setup! Compact! Perfect. Get you one!!

Compact, Fast and user friendly scanner
Posted .Pros mentioned:Ease of use, Papers, Scan qualityCons mentioned:Paper jamsThis is a nice compact and a really fast scanner. I have used many scanners but this one is a piece of art loaded with technology. It is compact, takes space and best thing I like is the flaps close inside it. And according to my HR it is cute. It took me less than 5 minutes to open the box install and get my first 10 scans. The instructions are so well written, I was able to install it by just using the illustrations (did not read the entire instructions when installing, but did go through them later). It is really easy to setup and install. In fact this was the fastest I ever installed. It uses a USB3.0 cable and can operate on both USB3.0 and USB2.0. I tired installing the software on windows 8 pro, windows 10 and windows 7. It worked really fine and the software installation was also really simple. After the software was installed it did update the firmware which took additional 30 seconds (really fast; and this happened only once). This is small but a beast, it scanned documents really fast and the best part was it is a duplex scanner which mean you insert the page once and both sides are scanned. I scanned all the bill (crushed, crumpled receipts from food joints, gas station etc. that are really thin) at 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 passport, driver’s license and credit cards which was really easy to because of this scanner. The software is easy to use and understand. The application is not fancy which I love, it user friendly (not fancy) and has a few drop downs which 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. Since there was no paper jam, I deliberately jammed to test the pause button, which is another amazing feature of this scanner. This button is like the extra brain, so in a paper jam we need to start scanning from scratch, but this button take that pain away from us and now we just need to re-scan the paper which is stuck and can resume the scan from there. Conclusion: It is a nice compact scanner which take really less space and is really easy to use. User friendly interface, fast and awesome picture quality or in short ‘Cute’. This is a review for the Epson ES-400 Duplex Document Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

Fast and Accurate Business and Home Scanner
Posted .Pros mentioned:Business use, Ease of use, PapersPackaging: The Epson Workforce ES-400 Document Scanner in black came in a compact box tightly packed with all cables properly bagged and taped down so they did not move about in the product box. The actual scanner was packaged between two sturdy styrofoam ends and placed in a protective bag to avoid scratches. The scanner had no room for movement and traveled via FedEx very well. Once the scanner is removed from the protective bag every single moving part was properly taped down and protected so that movement from transit would not damage or break the product. Setup: Included in the box was a simple Start Here guide which identified all the proper parts that should have been included in the box as well as how to properly remove the protective tape. Step 2 simply involved going directly to the Epson support site to download the Driver and Software Utility to install and setup the scanner. The website easily detected the correct version of Windows (including 64 bit) I was using and provided the direct download link. Once downloaded the setup file was super quick and easy and walks you through setup which literally took less than 5 minutes. Once the setup was complete the Epson Software Updater checked the firmware version of the scanner and instructed that an update was available. The Epson Software Updater does look a little outdated as far as software goes these days but it quickly downloaded and installed the firmware update for the scanner in about 2 minutes. Once the software and firmware were installed and updated the scanner was ready to go. Operation: The Epson Workforce ES-400 Document Scanner has a really small footprint especially when closed up and not in use. Once installed I tested various documents and scan settings resulting in better than expected results. Not only was this thing fast but the quality of the scans were amazing and really provided the detail needed to archive documents. I love the ability to scan both sides of a document at once as this not only speeds up your scanning but makes the process so much easier as you do not have to constant flip paper and try to remember what side you already scanned such as use with a flatbed scanner (my previous scanner). Controls were simple to figure out and the included software made it easy to start scanning in the file formats you want right out of the box with no hassle whatsoever. Conclusion: If you're in the market for a stand alone scanner or scan many documents day to day, take a serious look at the Epson Workforce ES-400 Document Scanner as it is fast, accurate and easy to setup while taking up little space when in use and especially when not. This is a review for the Epson ES-400 Duplex Document Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

Awesome Scanner
Posted .Pros mentioned:Ease of use, Papers, Scan qualityThe scanner was very secure in the box and it was a little difficult for me to get the scanner out. I like how the parts for the scanner though are very minimal and it ships with the USB Cable and power cord. The set up for the scanner was very easy. The instructions for setting up the scanner were also very clear and with a simple download, the scanner was up and running. I love the size of the scanner and how perfectly it fits on my computer desk. The document capture software included in the download is very responsive. Scanning my first document was easy and the scanner was quick and quite silently. The bottom tray can be extended to many different positions and I scanned many separate documents within seconds. Scanning multiple documents was simple as well and the scanner has a button to slow down the scan for delicate documents like receipts. Overall I am very happy with this scanner. The set up was quick, the software was easy to download and I am very excited to try the other software that is included and to scan more documents! This scanner will definitely help to keep all those important documents organized and the quality of the scan is very good too. My only drawback is the cost. I think the price seems a bit high.

Great Scanner!
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I've used a Neat scanner for several years and really got to the point where I hated scanning documents. Lots of quirky stuff with the Neat product. I read reviews and decided to try the Epson. We actually purchased two for our office. So far it has been awesome. I've only tried a small pile of documents, maybe 4-5 sheets at a time so far, but the process went smooth. My absolute favorite part is the double side scanning. Once the document is scanned it simply has you click where you want it to go, for example, an email or a document file. Very simple, super quick and the compact size is perfect for my desk. Definitely recommend this scanner. Oh yeah, one final tidbit.. we use Best Buy Geek Squad and the tech we work with loved the scanner when he set it up at one of our work stations.

A good scanner
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I would recommend this to a friendI've previously only used Fujitsu scanners. However with the Mac Catalina update, I couldn't use my Fujitsu anymore. This scanner was recommended to me and I really like it. I like the fact that if I scan double-sided and if the 2nd page is blank, I can delete that page before saving my scanned document. My only complaints are (1) If you are just doing basic scanning with low resolution, this scanner will scan your document very quickly. The higher the resolution, the slower your document will scan. (2) If you have something taped to your document (i.e. adding machine tape), this scanner is so sensitive that it will read it as two pages stuck together and will not let you continue scanning. Its a good thing but a pain. I had to adjust the settings to remove this function.

everything we want from a scanner...

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5We have owned this scanner for more than 8 months now, and we love it for several reasons: 1) it works really well; has never jammed on us; drop the stack of papers in, one or two sided, and boom, it scans... 2) it's fast... 3) it does not take up much space when we're not using it... highly recommended!

The Best
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendThis was definitely worth the money. I usually buy all in ones and use the scan feature but when I went to the store to look at them it appeared that they got larger over the past few years. They were huge! And people were complaining about how you cannot use the scanner, fax, etc if the printer is out of ink which totally blew my mind. I had an Epson Work force and I loved it but it stopped feeding documents through the auto feeder so I bit the bullet and bought a scanner. I'm glad that I did. I have it on the lowest dpi and the resolution is phenomenal. Also, I like how it folds into itself and I can scan pdfs and then export them to Word. I haven't really checked out the rest that this software can do but I do not regret this purchase at all.
Q: QuestionI have to scan a pack of documents that vary from 8 1/2 x 11 to 8 1/2 x 14 and they are mixed together in the stack. Does this copier scan the letter size as letter and legal as legal or does it all come out as letter or all as legal?
Asked by Mixedbag.
- A:Answer My scanner was able to do this - scanned mix of letter size and legal size and produced them as letter and legal size. I've scanned receipts in various widths and lengths and it scans and records them in the size they were scanned.

Q: QuestionI want to scan directly to my desktop. I don't want to scan to a cloud. Will this scan directly to desktop?
Asked by Scootie.
- A:Answer Absolutely! They scan directly to your PC, no extra software and no cloud scanning. This is why we purchase so many of these because they work great in medical offices scanning insurance papers, insurance cards, etc. I know some scanners offer scanning to the cloud but that solution does not work for my clients.

Q: Questiondoes this scanner have an automatic feed for multiple photos? How fast is it? Does it have color enhancement software built-in? As it will operate with my Mac, can I direct the contents to my separate cloud account?
Asked by Vincent.
- A:Answer There is no special feeder for photos but I have loaded a stack of photos with the adjustable paper size tabs and scanned without problems. The speed is exceptionally fast. Less than 1 second per photo or color document. In fact the scan speed is so fast, there is a Slow Scan button that can be activated. The scanner is supposed to be 35 PPM but since most photos are about 4X6 it goes about 3 times faster or 100 images a minute. There is a software interface where you can change the image quality and specify the format such as PDF, JPG, BMP, TIFF The included software allows directly uploading to Cloud Accounts. You have to sign in to your Cloud Account to allow uploads. Speed is a function of your ISP & bandwidth. I'm using a Microsoft PC so I can not comment about MAC. Checking the MFG specs for compatibility. It appears to be MAC Compatible to many versions. The software on the PC install automatically updated itself from Epson. The scanner has the unique ability to scan super long documents and historical photos up to 240 inches long and scans BOTH Sides simultaneously in 1 pass.
