![]() This compact duplex document scanner is also quite small and light (at just 2.9 lbs). Most of the scanners will offer an ADF tray for this price. ![]() It’s the little tray where you put in stacks of documents, so that you don’t have to scan them one-by-one manually. The Epson ES-300W comes with a document feeder ADF tray for batch scanning. OCR is extremely important to have on a scanner these days. It reads the text from the scanned image. It can export your scanned document into searchable pdfs and editable word and excel files. Now this is a must, because it’s one of the most important features. The device also comes equipped with optical character recognition OCR technology. This is not something crucial, but it’s nice to have a cleaner document overall. This wireless compact scanner can also remove punch holes from documents. This function straightens the image perfectly, even if it’s just 1 degree, it can correct it. Most scanners in it’s price range don’t have this. The Epson ES-300W also comes with automatic deskew. This is a feature that you will only find on half of the scanners for this price, so definitely an advantage. This “cleans” the background of the scanned image, making it whiter and so the content in the image stands out much better. The device also has a background removal feature. Again, this is not something special as most scanners for this price are equipped with this feature.Įpson also put its intelligent color and image enhancements. What it does is it can tell how big the image is and crop it automatically so that you don’t have black parts on the edges. What it does is it looks at the image and can tell if you put it upside down and automatically adjusts it.Īutomatic image cropping is also a function you’ll find on the Epson ES-300W. It also has an automatic image rotation feature. Why does this matter? For black & white files, it will reduce the file size a lot and so the files will load faster in Adobe Acrobat or any software that you are using. This means that it will detect and decide if your document is in color or black & white. It also comes with epson image processing technology like automatic color detection. But this is not something new as most scanners for this price have this feature. That means you only have to pass the sheet of paper once through the scanner and it will scan both sides. Really important, this scanner can scan duplex. It can take paper from 50 gsm (Receipts on thin paper) to 230gsm (Invitations, cards, thicker pieces of paper, plastic cards). ![]() Larger office scanners tend to use CCD sensors.Īs far as the media handling of the scanner goes, it’s quite decent. It also has TWAIN drivers so you can integrate it with more specialized scanning apps. Wireless connectivity is a must-have these days and this device does wireless scanning perfectly. Epson also supplies a separate AC adapter. I like the fact that it comes with SuperSpeed 3.0 USB cable connection and High-bandwith Wi-fi. You can do normal office work with 200 or 300dpi without any problems. 600 is a lot, it’s more than you will ever need. It’s capable of scanning A4 documents, which again, is on par with it’s competitors and offers 600dpi optical resolution. 1 image represents one side of a sheet of paper. At this price, it’s not something outstanding as most devices will offer the same speed. ![]() This scanner can handle fast scanning speeds of up to 50 images per minute (25 PPM in simplex mode). I personally recommend the ABBYY OCR engine as it’s one of the best on the market, if not surely the best you can buy. It comes with OCR included from Nuance and ABBYY and the Epson ScanSmart software. ![]() That should be fine for office documents such as contracts, invoices, etc. It also has 20-page auto document feeder tray. It also has built-in image processing technology that offers color and image adjustments. It can scan through wi-fi directly to your smartphone, tablet or PC. It can do 50 images per minute (25 sheets). What’s so special about it? The Epson ES-300W has some of the fastest scanning speeds in it’s class.
