Excellent quality scans with well functioning software. ADF double sided works very well. Skew correction is great as well as adjustable gamma/contrast/brightness for faded receipts. I find 70% PDF compression quality is just right for digitized appearance + OCR accuracy and file size. One minor gripe is that the mini rubber pads on bottom of scanner are too small to keep unit from moving/sliding on a flat surface if bumped after slim pads accumulate some dust. Solution: bought cheap large rubber pads at homedepot (...no I'm not gonna dust off the table).

I am a CPA and purchased this scanner to scan my client's documents for my files. This scanner is easy to use and very fast for it's size and cost. I am very happy with it.

I bought it a couple of days ago and the download and installation was very much unfriendly!

Speed, Quality, reliability. We retired the previous version and it was still working well, all be it slow with no double sided scanning. We are in Information Systems and highly recommend this product especially for digitizing paper files.

I am disgusted with the fact I can not tell when it will work and when it will not. The calls take for ever on the phone with the company and for some reason they never call back when the computer system takes a number. I have purchased two of these units and neither one of them are dependable! I have always owned EPSON since they came out, but I can assure you this is the very last one I am wasting my money on!

I needed to replace an obsolete scanner so I bought a refurbished DS-1630 and was impressed with the value. The device possesses all of the features I wanted in a compact size. I especially like the hinge configuration which allows me access to the scan glass from the side rather than the front. Once I got it hooked up and running I was amazed at the scan speed through the ADF. I'm pleased with my choice and I would definitely recommend this Epson to a friend.

nice features and fast scanner for the money. A bit noisy though.

I'm not too savvy about connecting any electronics, but the easy steps on the pamphlet and in the download made it easy to do

Happy with the scanner works well for scanning packing slips into our cloud based software using the glass or feeder and does multiple pages with ease.

I purchased an additional scanner for my home office because my other scanner wasn't reliable and my workload has increased. I love the set-up and the quality of scanned documents.

I bought this to replace the similar DT-1500 scanner that I have used for some time. The DS-1600 is much faster, the document feeder does not get jammed, the scanner bed captures the complete document without cropping the edges, and the price was very reasonable. All-in-all I am very pleased with this scanner.

I love this scanner! It was able to unpack it, install the software, and scan my first document in less than 10 minutes. Since then, I've scanned over 100 documents and photos with no problems or hassles. The scans are perfect in quality and it's very quiet. Highly recommended!

While the images are sharp the scanner doesn’t have auto detect box so you can’t crop images prior to scaning. That really makes things rough

I bought the DS-1630 about 3 weeks ago and I've already used it 5 times, scanning lots of documents (color and b&w) for archival purposes. Setting-up the scanner and installing the software was a breeze. Scanning is very easy and pretty quick. Love it!

I bought this while i was on the road, was delivered to my house about 2 weeks ago. open tonight 02/15/19 to test out. will be returning it tomorrow. very upsetting as I was looking forward to get some work done with this scanner. keep jamming on the very first page open reload again does the same thing. I'm done got to go.

For the money this one is not worth it. Used it 4 months and the feeder was broke. It was in warranty so they sent me a refurbished one after they received mine back. Just outside of one year and the refurbished one has only been used for 4 months. The feeder is broke again. I only use it 4 months out of the year and fairly moderate volume.

Bought it 1 month ago .. always had issues with connecting to computer on its own.. need to restart all the time for it to recognize scanner correctly. Dbl sided scan is a challenge too for this scanner .. can be a good buy if kinks with archaic software are fixed..

The DS-1630 Work Force does not give you the option the select photo mode and you cannot manually crop the desired area of scanning in the preview plane. I spent hours and hours searching the web for a solution and at the same time it was impossible to write an email message to Epson.

Bought scanner about 1-2 mos. ago, haven't had one since upgrade to Windows 10. The my very reliable see thru flatbed no longer worked. Seemed everyone was making all-in-ones which I didn't want. Finally the DS-1630 came out and got tired of taking things to work and the library to make copies. At first didn't want the ADF but it lets me scan 8 1/2 x 14 documents which the flatbed won't. Fast enough for home use, haven't scanned any pics yet so don't know how they will turn out. But had an Epson Perfection years ago which worked well and expect the same. Bought it from Epson's webpage, very fast shipping but came FedEx with a hole in the box like another box corner had made the hole. Overall, seems to be worth what I paid for it.

I bought this scanner specifically because of my disability. Other scanners require lifting your arms higher to place the paper in to be scanned. This scanner is ideal. No reaching! It does everything, and does it well.

I've been using this for about a month now and I'm not 100% happy with the flatbed scanner. The feeder works great and is the main reason that I purchased the item. The flatbed is a different story. It's not as easy to use as the previous Epson scanners that I've had.
