Epson WorkForce ES-865 Color Duplex Document Scanner with TWAIN Driver

I am SO happy with this scanner so far! First things first, the quality of this scanner is amazing. And, it's durable too! This scanner is built so well that I don't feel like I'm going to break it when I use it. It also uses the best software for a scanner, which makes it much easier to use. The first thing you are going to want to do, is plug in the scanner and then download the drivers from the internet, onto your computer. It is super easy to download the drivers, and the instructions that come with the scanner give you step by step instructions on how to do it. Once that's done, you plug in the USB cable and that completes the set up, and you are ready to use the scanner! Using this scanner has been a breeze too! It's SO easy to use. You just put the document you want into the scanner, press the scan button and VOILA! This scanner is also VERY fast! I can't believe how fast it scans a document! I've never had a scanner that can scan in 1 second. It shoots the document right through, and then the scanned document pops up on your computer screen instantly. You can also use this scanner to create PDF and editable excel or word files. I have never seen a scanner that can do that, so that was a nice bonus for me! This scanner can scan up to 100 pages at a time too, which is a LOT. It is lightning quick and intuitive. Another thing about this scanner that I love, is how easy it is to navigate. The buttons are super easy to use and respond fast. The LCD screen is also nice and each option on the screen is labeled clearly so it's easy to know what option you are using. There are a lot of buttons but each one is labeled so you don't get confused as to what they do. It's just a really well laid out scanner!! Once you are done using the scanner, you can just power it off until next time, or leave it on whatever you want to do! It boots up really quick too which is also really nice. All in all, I LOVE this scanner and don't have enough great things to say about it! If you are someone who is looking for a GREAT professional/personal scanner, this one is perfect! You will not regret trying it, so give it a shot!!!! This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-865 Color Duplex Document scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

When you take it out of the box, you'll notice that it's well packaged. Not excessively, but enough to protect the scanner being shipped to your door. The scanner itself is quite sturdy and well constructed. It is a heavy-duty plastic and has a nice texture and appearance. The paper folds out to catch large documents as they scan, and compactly slides back inside the scanner itself to save space. It works with both Windows 7-10 PCs and Mac OS systems. It was very easy to set up, install, and begin using the scanner within just a few minutes. The specs of this scanner are phenomenal for the price-point, and the performance is phenomenal. To start off, it does 65ppm/130ipm (duplex) in color/b&w/grayscale. With a 100-page feeder that has nice, smooth sliding size adjustments it makes scanning large batches a snap. It also includes a double-feed detection to make sure that you don't miss scanning any pages that are discretely stuck together. You can scan documents as small as 2”x2” and as large as 8.5”x240” using the long document mode, so it should be able to handle almost any scan job you can throw at it. It also has a small, color, LCD display that allows you to scan, change settings, perform maintenance, and view information. This is a somewhat useful feature so you don't have to mess around in the scanner software to find any of these operations. The Epson ScanSmart software is a very user-friendly interface and allows for basic scanning functions and save/send the documents to various services/locations. You can either initiate a scan from the software, or just load your stack of documents and hit the blue scan button on the scanner and (when connected to your computer) it will automatically load the software and start scanning the document.
