Compact and easy to use. Works great in my tiny workspace. Clear and legible image.

This little baby is fast!! I love how easy it was to unbox and start using!

Quick Overview ================================= The Epson ES-C220 is a compact, vertical-style, desktop document scanner with an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), fast performance, and flexible options. Overall build and Setup ================================= The box is smaller than you'd think, and the contents are even smaller! I have two different MultiFunction printer/scanners in the house, and the footprint that they take up on tables/desks is pretty significant. I've always wanted a quick vertical-style scanner after seeing them in use at offices (like doctor's offices when they scan your ID). It's black plastic, nothing fancy, with a lot of blue tape holding the doors shut during shipping. The quick setup poster shows it's just a few steps to get started. I removed the shipping tape from the outside, then inside. Next, I connected power, and connected the USB-A to USB-C cable to my computer. It was detected and probably would have worked a generic TWAIN-compliant scanner, but I wanted to test the Epson software as well. A quick search for "Epson ES-C220 drivers" will bring you to Epson's page where you can select your operating system and then download the "combo" pack that has drivers and utilities. Once you install them, you will be walked through the process to properly set up your device and install some helpful utilities. At the end, you'll be prompted to do a firmware upgrade (if available) which completed in about 3 minutes total. After that, I was ready to go! Performance ================================= Depending on what you want to scan, there's truly "vertical" mode where the paper goes through a "U-shaped" path and finishes in the front tray, parallel to where it started from. This is perfect for papers, multiple papers (ADF), and business cards. The "straight through" mode tilts the scanner back a few degrees and the scanned document exits out of a slot at the bottom. This can scan all of the above, but is best for booklets, brochures, and things like passports. Whatever you're scanning, this thing is fast! I added a stack of documents, pushed the "One Touch" button (far right) and it zipped through them immediately. I tried some singles and more stacks and was impressed that there were no issues feeding and the speed is a night and day difference between something like this and a flat bed scanner. Once your documents go through, you'll be greeted with a preview window where you can quickly sort through them to ensure they look correct. If you're happy, click next and you can choose where to save them. Not only can you save them to a folder, there are options to integrate with Google Drive, Microsoft's OneDrive, Dropbox, attaching them to an email, and more. I tested the OneDrive integration and it immediately uploaded them to a folder I chose (Scans) and I could choose the filename for my document(s) as well. Overall it's very easy to use and can scan up to 120" long document. I didn't have anything longer than an 8.5" x 14". Scanning a business card to test was a nice surprise because it automatcally scanned both sides in one pass! I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the preview included both sides of the card, saving me one more step. The ADF can scan up to 20 pages at once and it can go as fast as 30ppm at 300 dpi. This would be a great way to finally clean up the stack of old documents you may have sitting around in folders that you'll only need "in an emergency". Now, you can get rid of the clutter and store them safely online. I think it'd be a great way to store all my kid's drawings as well! I hate to throw away any of their precious art, but sometimes you have to be more practical than sentimental, and as long as I have a good copy of it to remember, then I'll feel better about recycling some of it. Unfortunately this specific model doesn't have Wi-Fi which means I don't have network connectivity to test the Android or iOS app. Still it's convenient and fast enough that I can always walk over, power it on, load my documents, and press the "One Touch" scan button. Conclusion ================================= This is a great compact and fast scanner for all of your document needs. This is not a high-res photo scanner, but it is a super-fast document scanner with the ability to scan two sides at once and handle 20 pages at a time. I'm sure this will finally help power through my stack of papers in the office, and I'd recommend getting one if you're looking to do the same!

The Epson WorkForce ES-C220 is an excellent desktop scanner for efficiently and quickly duplex scanning documents. It's very small in comparison to other scanners or multi-function devices with scan functions. Pros: - Very, very FAST scanning - Good to excellent scanning quality - Fits nicely next to a printer or other large device - even when the loading arms are up, the form factor is very small and versatile. You can also flip it to another position depending on your scanning needs. - Great software (Mac friendly) Cons - The biggest con to this device is it lacks WiFi - something I should have noticed when selecting it. That basically ties it to one computer versus other similar devices with WiFi that can be used with a number of different devices. - I work about the durability of the arms that stand up for document feeding. They are very, very flimsy. - Occasionally, the scanner doesn't recognize a file type and it can take some time (even on a brand new Mac with M2 Ultra); it just sits there clocking for a while. - USB A connection (to computer); a USB-C would be much easier for newer computers, especially laptops with limited (if any) USB-A connections. Overall, if you are a single-user and don't need the flexibility of WiFi, this is an excellent solution for quickly and efficiently scanning documents at decent resolutions. If you don't require WiFi, I would recommend. If you DO need WiFi, Epson makes a similar model with WiFi built in.

The Epson ES-C220 scanner is a great high-speed scanner that's also light, portable, and easy to use. Setup was simple: I just removed the shipping tape, plugged it in, and downloaded the software from the Epson website. The software was easy to install and use, but I wish the scanner was plug-and-play so I could use it without downloading anything. To use the scanner, I just pulled up the antennas (paper braces), adjusted the positioning, loaded my paper, and pressed the scan button. The scanner did the rest. All the moving parts are easy to find because they're marked with little arrow tabs. After I hit the scan button, the scanner application immediately opened and quickly scanned both sides of my documents. Just as quickly, it showed me a preview of the documents and gave me the option to give them a custom name and location on my computer. Some of the things I really liked about the scanner are that it's very fast, can do duplex scanning, scans in color, and creates crisp and perfectly aligned PDFs. The scan quality is probably the best I have seen in a stand-alone scanner. Overall, this is a great scanner and I definitely recommend it.

The Epson ES-C220 Scanner is a handy desktop scanner. Included with the scanner: online user manual, USB-A to USB-C cable, Start Guide, symbols guide, and Power Cord. Installing the Scan Smart software was very easy. Since I already have an Epson Printer/Scanner, the Install wizard automatically recognized that the Scan Smart was already installed. Therefore, only the drivers for the ES-C220 needed to be installed. Other software that is installed is called Presto!BizCard6. This software lets you make your own business cards. The Epson ES-C220 unfortunately does not have WiFi capabilities. It can only be used when hardwired to your computer/laptop using the supplied USB cable. The Start Guide is clear with its instructions as how to set up the scanner and it only took me about 10min to get the ES-C220 up and running. Scanning is quick and easy. Just put the item to be scanned in the back of the scanner, push the scan button and that’s it. The input slot has guides to make sure that the item is scanned properly. The Epson ES-C220 can scan just about anything, from small business cards, to documents up to 8 ½ inches x 120”. You can also choose between 1-sided or 2 sided copies (without having to rescan the second side of the item being scanned) within the Scan Smart Software. The scan speed is 30ppm/60ipm. The auto document feeder can feed up to 20 pages at a time. The Epson ES-C220 scanner has automatic imaging adjustment functions, IE: cropping, Paper skew correction, dirt detection, staple protection, and background removal. Pictures/photos scanned are clear and perfectly focused with excellent color saturation equal to that of the original picture/photo. The Epson ES-C220 Scanner’s compact design makes it perfect for desks, saving space by not needing a separate stand or table. It is also considered Energy Star qualified. All in all, the Epson Workforce ES-C220 Scanner is a niece space saving , versatile scanner for any home office, office, or just for individual home use. The only issue for me was, it has to be hard wired (does not have WiFi capabilities) so it needs to be near the computer or laptop.

It is incredible how far technology has come when it comes to scanners. Years ago, work provided me with a portable scanner, which was then the lightest and fastest portable scanner, weighing in at a whopping 9 lbs. Back then, I thought that was great; it was so light and easy to carry around. Little did I know a decade later, the Epson ES C220 comes in less than 4 lbs and is equally fast, if not faster. I have been scanning sheets regularly as part of my job, and having a light, fast, easy-to-use scanner makes the day go by so much quicker. These days, while most of the work we do is electronic, there is a lot of information that is still printed and signed on paper, after which it needs to be scanned. The Epson ES C220 series fits the bill for people who scan, on average, 100-200 sheets a day. This scanner would be great for a business for you to scan your receipts, your purchase orders, and your payments - keep them organized for tax time. I could also see something like this being used by a notary signing agent to provide electronic copies of signed documents quickly. But that is just two use cases for this. I use a portable scanner on the field to scan documents on the go, and a lightweight scanner is a godsend when you go from location to location. In the last few days, I have scanned several documents, from legal invoices and agreements to family photographs. The Epson ES C220 is fast enough to make light work of heavy paperwork. It does require a bit of maintenance, and I found it fussy with older paper that had dust on it. It also is not as careful with vintage ‘airmail’ paper or carbon copy papers as I’d like and jammed. Many of these problems go away when you use the straight-through scan mode; the U mode breaks the ability of the scanner to scan documents without jamming. I scanned some photographs (4x6) images and it did a pretty decent quick job of scanning loose photographs. Care must be taken to make sure the pictures do not stick to each other, but this scanner does make quick work of photos even though it is not a photo scanner. In all the scans I did, my overall impression is that the scans that come out are crisp, colorful, and with good detail. So, where are the downsides? Well, the biggest one is the ADF feeder can only hold 20 sheets, and since it scans 30 pages a minute, that hopper would empty in 40 seconds or less. If you use the “U” path of scanning, the sheet capacity is limited, but if you use the straight pass-through, it does not have a paper holder to keep the scans from flying off the table. Other than that, this is a fantastic scanner. I used it to scan many business cards from previous conferences. With dual-side scanning, it scans it, fast and makes quick work of scanning business cards. A point to note, though, is that it's probably best to use straight-through mode as it bends your cards and sometimes jams rather quickly. The included Epson smart scan software is easy to use and does a rather good job of allowing you to adjust settings. The business card scanning software “Presto Bizcard” software will not only scan but also optically characterize the data into a spreadsheet allowing for import into CRM software. Overall this is a must have for a small business owner, a home owner, or anybody who wants to be organized and stay organized. Pros: Fast effective scanning with accurate scans Very lightweight scanner that is easy to carry Cons: There is no output tray for straight-through scanning It does not use an ultra-sonic motor, so care has to be taken with older / thin paper

This Epson scanner comes very well taped up. Of course, I started to plug it in and remove the tape without reading any instructions. It only took a few minutes to figure out that I needed to read the instructions to figure out how to open it up and get to the tape inside the scanner. The instructions clearly show the little button the top right-hand side that opens the unit so you can get to the tape. See picture. Next up is installing the software. As I have a fairly recent Mac Pro I needed a USB-C to USB adapter to be able to connect the scanner to my Mac. Picked on up at Best Buy. Once the scanner was on and plugged in to my Mac the software completed it’s installation. Software took about 15 minutes to fully install. Just had to hit “Next” periodically. Once the software was installed, I could start scanning. When you hit the scan button, the document zips through the scanner quite quickly. What I really love about this scanner is the document rolls through the scanner and comes out in an area in front of the scanner, still sitting in the scanner. See picture. Most smaller scanners feed the document out on to your work area which means the scanner requires more real estate in your work area. Once scanned, you have a choice of where the scanned document lands, Word, Excel, email, etc. Love that it goes directly to my email as this is where I store receipts by tax year. this scanner will greatly reduce the workload at tax time. Woo Hoo! The Epson Workforce ES-C220 really is an easy to use, compact scanner that gets the job done.

Wow, what can I say, this is a great little scanner! I am using it to replace an old flatbed scanner that I have been using for 4-5 years to scan documents into my computer. What used to take 20 minutes to scan a 10 page double sided document I can now do in a couple of minutes - and the image quality is excellent! The unit is pretty straightforward and comes with a power supply and USB-C connection. I was planning on keeping the old flatbed scanner in case I wanted to scan photos, but the image quality is so good on the ESC-220 that I have no need to keep the old one around. The software that comes with the scanner works well. You place the sheets in the feed tray and then press the scan button. The software automatically opens on your computer and it begins scanning the pages. When it has finished, you can delete or reorder the pages, then either save the document or do one of many things, like emailing it or uploading it to cloud storage. The software can do OCR to automatically detect the text in a document making for easy searching or copy/paste and also convert to a editable PDF. Overall, this scanner is everything that I was hoping for,it works flawlessly for my needs. The portability and excellent image quality are icing on the cake.

This scanner is pretty nice and compact... Setup was a bit rough with windows 10. I downloaded the software and tried to load it on my work computer but it was buggy. I ended up having to get IT involved. Might be my work computer that gave me issues. Anyway. I got it up and running and from there it was easy to use. Software suite is super simple to use. I can pick location of where to save and all. Also the compact nature of the scanner is great. It takes my long receipts without any issues. Color is nice. All of the parts allow for neat and small footprint to store.. Also the 2 ways to chose how it spits out the receipt or whatever you are scanning is nice. As part of my job I have to submit for expenses which requires me to submit copies of my receipt. This allows me to do to that quickly. You can also setup using different methods and locations to send your scans through the software which is nice. Anyway. After I got the windows 10 issue resolved it worked just fine. I would recommend this product for what it is intended for.

I'm not going to lie, I really like Epson products. Working in an office environment, you always look to improve your productivity or streamline the work process. Working in procurement, I need to be able to keep track of invoices and documents related to our purchases. A desktop document scanner made sense and this is where the Epson ES-C220 comes into play. The idea of a document scanner isn't new and has proven to be a valuable asset. The ES-C220 is one such device. The unboxing doesn't take long: remove blue tape here and there, download the drivers and utilities, plug the provided Type C to USB cable into a free port and you're pretty much ready to go. The setup process is easy and fast. The question you'll probably ask is "Why not use my printer's built in scanner instead?". The answer is simple: speed and a dedicated suite of software which can tie into your existing work flow. A desktop document scanner does one thing and it does it much better than any other device. One such thing is the OCR software which can recognize text and "transcribe" it into a variety of formats such as Word, Excel, PDF and more. It can even work with accounting software such as Quickbooks. The resulting files can be edited and modified which is what most users will be wanting to do. Here's a quick breakdown of what's good and what isn't that great with the ES-C220: Pros: + It scans fast. Very, very fast + The scans can be saved in various formats, such as MS Office files, PDF, images or sent to cloud storage providers, or emailed or scanned into accounting software (*note that this function will require a paid subscription after the 30 days of free trial) + It's compact and can work in 2 positions, up straight or laying back + The scans are clear and sharp + The OCR software does a wonderful job at recognizing text + The companion software offers a good amount of options and settings you can fiddle with + Affordable, this scanner won't break the bank and the return in productivity will make a significant difference Cons: - You'll have to pay a subscription fee to be able to use the accounting software function - The cables are a bit short In conclusion, whether you work from home or at an office, the Epson ES-C220 will make your life a whole lot easier and allow you to archive printed invoices, receipts and more directly and safely to files. It does so - and I know I'm repeating myself here - very, very fast and very well. I can only recommend this scanner and thank Epson for making my work a bit easier. Excellent product.

Compact and very user friendly.it does the job.It is easy to set up too.

Compact and effective, I had occasional problems with initiating a scan from the computer, but using the panel buttons solved that problem.

PHENOMINAL! has cut my scanning time to almost nothing. super easy to use and install. I use to let the paper work pile up because I hated our scanner. But this one is so easy to use.

This product is amazing. Does everything that I wanted and needed it to do. I love that it's portable yet fast enough for my needs. Perfect for a "on the go" business.

This very compact and light scanner was so far the best ever, excellent image's quality, easy to install and very compact and light. I travel a lot, and since I have to submit receipts from travel expenses, I normally glued them to a piece of blank paper, and then I scanned them all those pages together, and this scanner never had jammed!

excellent scan quality but needing to be wired makes the price unreasonable unless on sale.

I absolutely love my Epson scanner and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fast, reliable, and secure way to digitize documents. It’s incredibly easy to use, with intuitive software, an automatic document feeder for quick scanning, and wireless connectivity for seamless cloud storage. The Optical Character Recognition (OCR) feature makes searching for files effortless, and built-in encryption ensures my documents stay safe. Whether for home or office use, it’s a game-changer for staying organized, and I can’t imagine managing my paperwork without it!

Great product. Easy to install and setup. Works with instructions as the guide. No issues.

Works great. Quick scan. Clear images. Compact and maneuverable.
