Easy. Fast. Excellent quality. Powerful.
I have set up and used so many scanners in my lifetime, but none this easy. and fast. This scanner was unpacked, installed, and scanning in less than 10 minutes. The longest thing that it took me to do was download the software package to my laptop. The instructions are very detailed, which made them super easy to follow. The application for my iPhone 12 Mini, was installed and connected to the scanner via wifi in less than a minute, same thing goes for my iPad 11 Pro, an Android phone, and an Apple MacBook Air. I did everything through wifi, instead of using the provided USB cord. During setup, there is a step that tells you to load a document into the scanner's auto-feed and push the scan button. I tried twice and got an error both times, but then a notification told me to open the application that was installed and do a test scan from the application. I did, and it scanned without a hiccup. Then, I proceeded to scan another document utilizing the double-sided/duplex feature of this WorkForce scanner. It was as easy as clicking the button that read, "Double-sided" versus "Single-sided". The application on my iPhone and iPad 11 Pro, was just as easy, if not easier to use to scan the same document. Pros: First and foremost, the setup and installation were simple. Even if I wasn't technically inclined, both processes could be followed by virtually anyone. Setting up the wireless was part of the original setup and installation process, and involved holding down a button until the blue wireless indicator light blinked. I wasn't required to enter any information about my wireless network, which was fantastic. There are guides on the back where you put the documents to be scanned on the auto-feeder. The auto-feeder holds 50 pages. Scanning is at 35 pages per minute, and it's quick. There is also a pullout piece in the front to catch the documents once scanned. The size of documents that this Epson Workforce ES-500W II scanner will scan is great, from pages as wide as A4 down to business cards. The duplex feature does not require you to turn the page over. It scans it just as fast as a single-sided page. The document scanner immediately worked with my Adobe software and my Microsoft Office 365, including my OneDrive. It actually let me log in to my Microsoft account to use my OneDrive to store my scanned documents, and it gave me the option to also save a copy on my local computer. The footprint is quite small, so it does not take up a lot of desktop space. This is great since I work from home, and my office space is limited. I used this with a Window's based computer/laptop, iOS on iPhone and iPad, Android phone and tablet, and a MacBook Air. You can scan wirelessly from many devices. It comes with all the needed software and utilities, available for download on the Epson website. The links are included with the instructions. This scanner is indeed a WorkForce. Cons: Although I am sure that one day I will find a feature that I wished this scanner had, at the moment, and after using it for several days, I cannot find anything wrong with it. It's fast, it's easy, and it does exactly what I want it to do. I highly recommend this scanner to anyone that scan's a lot, has a home-based business, works from home, or even if you work in an office away from home. It's a desktop scanner, but it's not heavy and you could carry it to the office if needed. It's also great for students, and those that like to scan all their receipts. This comes with software that will allow you to scan receipts, and the data is extracted from the form and put into your accounting software. Quicken and QuickBooks are both compatible. This is a review of the Epson DS-500W II Wireless Duplex Document Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

Nice and compact
This Epson ES-500WII wireless deluxe scanner is so light weight and easy to use. Set up/download took less then 10 mins to do. This scanner is so convenient since it is wireless. I downloaded the Epson app on my phone and can access it from that. The top of the scanner flips up and that is where the documents go, the documents need to be face down when scanning . It has size adjusters on it, one on each side to do different side documents including cards. The bottom has the return tray that the documents go once scanned, it flips out and holds the nicely. This scanner has 7 buttons on the right side. Power, Wi-Fi connect button, Wi-Fi button, double feed detection skip button, slow mode button, stop button and start button. The double feed detection is so nice to have so you are not accidentally scanning the same document twice. To clear a jam on this scanner is super easy to do. You push the light gray button on the top left side of the body and it opens up the scanner. You remove the jam and it will start where it left off. This scanner is also nice because it a duplex feature and automatically scans both sides of a document with out you telling it to. It does not put the blank pages in the scan document. It omits those out on its own. When in the folder it scans to it counts how many pages were scanned which is a nice feature so you know none were missed. I absolutely love how compact this scanner is. It folds up nicely to save space. Saves tons of space on my work station when not in use. “This is a review for the Epson DS-500W II Wireless Duplex Document Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”
