I thought it was a little expensive when first buying but, after seeing it perform I am thrilled. It's about 4 times faster than the scanners at FedEx Kinkos and I have much greater control over the file names and organization

I have been using this scanner for a few weeks now for both and work and am very impressed with the speed and quality of scans. I was previously using an old, flatbed scanner and never realized what I was missing with a scanner upgrade. It is fast and I loved that you can put in multiple pages at one time. The only thing it is missing is network connectivity and wifi. I would love to be able to scan and have it automatically sent to my computer or my phone. It is a little bulky and has to sit on my desk, taking up some room. I would like to be able to put it on a small table in another room but I can't because I need to connect my computer to it every time. “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.”

I'm very pleased with this Epson scanner. Its amazing and the quality of the prints is the best I have ever seen. It's lightweight and easy to set up. It comes with instructions that mske setting it up a breeze. I was able to download the software bed fairly easy too. It scans both sides at one time which is going to save me lots of time with the word I perform. It's easy to save your files and you can even send to others. It has definitely exceeded my expectations. The colors are so bright and vivid. I love that it doesn't take up much space on my desk. Overall this is just a great, high quality scanner that I know I will continue to enjoy using.

I'm extremely impressed with this Epson DS-865 Scanner. I have used several different scanners at work and home and nothing compares to this mighty machine. When I first received it I was surprised at how light it was and was afraid it couldn't do the work I needed done. Boy was I wrong. It was super easy to set up. It comes with a quick guide that is easy to follow and I just downloaded the software from the website. I love that it doesn't take up much space and so easy to learn to use. The screen is a perfect size for me. I am amazed at how easy the scanning process is and how fast it scans. Nothing I have ever used even comes close to comparing. This sure makes life easier and it scans both sides and I scan to the cloud which keeps my documents safe. This is going to really make me much more productive and the quality is impeccable. The detail is perfect and this will be great for work documents, business cards, photos, ID Cards, etc. The resolution really shocked me. I never thought this little machine could work this great. It's also very sturdy and I can see it working for many, many years. I highly recommend it. While at first I thought it was a tad expensive I now believe it is worth every penny. It is the perfect scanner for me and my business. "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."

This scanner has transformed my work at home efficiency. From the super easy setup to the quick, crisp and clean scan this scanner has provided me with professional scans of documents that must be retained for archive purposes. I am confident in the quality of the scan, that it is straight and easily read. Easily saved to the local computer or a cloud. The wireless capability was seamless and worked with both my Android and Apple Smartphones. This is a quality scanner that will take your productivity to the next level.

I am beyond pleased with using this Epson workforce color duplex document scanner. Unpacking and set up was very easy, the scanner itself is actually surprisingly light weight with small, non bulky cords. The given instructions made downloading the software very simple and installation was quick. Setting controls with the full color LCD screen makes scanning documents simple and worry free. I absolutely love how it scans both sides at the same time, saving time and giving beautiful results. The color from document to scan is just as vibrant and and full of pixels, leaving your saved files easy to manage, edit, save, and or send to others. I have been using this Epson scanner to scan my homeschool worksheets, art work, and documents for schooling at the end of each learning period (monthly). This makes keeping track of each years school work and progress, so much easier and less pile up of paperwork. I would highly recommend this product, great quality with fantastic results for both home and office use.

This scanner is outstanding in its capabilities. Although it may seem compact, it exceeds all expectations with its ability to quickly scan a large load of documents accurately, with a clear image and without any of the items being misfed. After using the scanner to save documents to my computer, I have never encountered an issue in which it is not uploaded to my destination, and being able to scan double-sided is a huge plus. The installation of the driver was quite simple and quick. The small size of the scanner makes it possible for it to be placed in various locations. My children have been using this scanner to test for when school begins and they have had no problems they are super happy with the performance. Whether it be for home or work, I highly recommend this scanner due to its incredible productivity and simple set up which anyone can do in a short amount of time.“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.”

This scanner is great! It was so easy to unbox and get set up. The instructions were so easy to follow and I was ready to go within a very short amount of time. It is always a win when set up does not take much time at all. The scanner is extremely compact and does not take up much space at all. The screen is just the right size and easy to read and follow the prompts. Everything needed comes in the box to complete set up. It looks very nice and compliments my set up at my desk. Once I had everything set up the scanning process has been so simple! The best part is how fast this works. In the past, I have been discouraged by how long it can take but this scanner keeps things moving super fast. I love that I can scan to the cloud to keep important pictures and documents safe in a place that I can access easily. It scans on both sides of the documents and is quiet while it works. I am very impressed with the quality. There is such vivid detail in the pictures and documents I have scanned. I am very pleased with this product so far and excited to keep using it.

This scanner was easy to get out of the packaging. Setup for the scanner was quick and easy and the instructions were easy to follow and understand. My wife who is not a technie like I am was able to follow them to get it physically setup. Once setup I decided to do some test scans as I had a bunch of documents I needed to input on my computer. I have to do a lot of scanning due to my job, and due to some volunteer work I do with a non profit organization. Sometimes I have stacks of papers that need to be scanned and then input into a database. I ran about 20 documents through it at the same time and it was quick in scanning both sides and the quality was excellent. It doesn't take up a lot of space which is also important to me as my desk space at home is not that great. It is not overly load when do you do scan. It would be nice if there was some wireless capability, but if it had that you would loose the speed at which it scans so that is one thing I am ok with it not being there. Overall this is a great scanner. The price of it, while it may seem high, is where it should be for such an excellent product.

I love the size, it's perfect to move it wherever it's needed. I am using it to work from the house and I am also taking the opportunity to scan some documents that I had physically saved and that took up a lot of space (now I will save them digitally). This Epson DS-865 Scanner is super-fast, it is something impressive especially with quality that it does and the resolution that the scanned documents have left me speechless. Scan both sides of documents with a single pass saving me time by not having to scan them individually. The physical structure of the scanner is solid with good quality rigid plastics and has a good fit of the components. The footprint is small and compact and that helps with desktop placement and positioning. I've scanned a lot of pages and I haven't had a paper jam. The output trays and automatic feeder are versatile and easy to handle so different paper sizes are adapted. You can scan business cards, ID cards, photos, among others. After opening the packaging and assembling it use the included quick guide to set it up. Super simple, simple and easy to understand. I was able to download and install the software from the website successfully and install it without incident. “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.”

This high quality scanner is very user friendly and was ready to go in fifteen minutes right out of the box after downloading and installing the necessary online driver software. The product arrived tight and securely packed, which included easy to follow directions, the power cord and usb cable to connect to a laptop or desktop computer using a usb port. I have been using this product for close to a week and I am highly impressed by the durable design, portability, and especially the speed and accuracy that the Epson Workforce ES-865 Color Duplex Document Scanner is able to scan duplex front and back documents without having any jamming issues and the tray can hold up to 100 standard sized sheets of paper! I especially like that there is many options on how to store and save completed scans such as using Dropbox, Google Drive, Word, Excel, attaching to emails, print, or even sending to One Drive. I noticed that the scanner did not have any Wi-Fi capabilities, but for the purposes for which I use this scanner, I think it would have possibly slowed the scanner speed. I highly recommend this scanner for the office or home business that needs a high rate of scanning speed with clear, high quality duplex sided scans.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.

Upon receiving this product I didn’t know the capability of it especially since it’s so compact. Let me say I was astonished. My 8 year old son helped me take it out on the box and set it up to start using (so yes it’s easy to unbox and set up and is lightweight). So my husband says I save way too many papers but in my defense- we may eventually need them for something right?! So I thought this would be perfect to declutter the paper and get everything stored and organized. It is to my amazement the speed of this scanner. It literally takes seconds and maybe not even that long. This also can scan the back of documents without having to take the paper out and feed again. Talk about a time saver. Another great feature - is the accuracy of the scan. Colors details everything. My little kids love helping load the scanner and find it funny how fast it goes. We’ve scanned documents, pictures, receipts, manuals etc and everything has worked superbly. There’s been no glitches nothing. It’s been extremely dependable and a life saver. Not to mention helped me declutter and not have to worry about keeping papers. I am so glad to have this in my life.

The scanner provided a clear and high tech picture. It is also able to be placed in highly decorated areas as it has a nice look to it. The scanner was easy to install. It works very quickly and efficiently. My younger kids were also able to use it. We will definitely be using it for work related and academic related necessities. My husband will also use it for business related purposes. I fully sponsor this product! It has also helped our ability to file receipts and track expenses.

First I was so excited to receive my scanner! The Epson ES-865 was boxed securely and I was impressed with the packaging. It came safe in the box and was super easy to unbox and begin setting up. The scanner took me less than 10 minutes to have ready in my office to being using. I like that the scanner does fast scans and the automatic document feed tray can handle large documents very easily. The buttons on the front of the scanner operate easily for operation. I like that the scanner is relatively quiet too since I do a lot of scanning I have it right on my desktop work station. The scanner connects easily with a USB cable and I have been impressed with the resolution of the documents. I scan in a lot of contracts, so resolution is extremely important to me for clarity and professional documents. I have yet to experience any jams and overall would recommend this product for your business needs!

If you are looking for a way to quickly scan numerous documents, then the ES-865 Color Duplex Scanner is the absolute best on the market. I've owned other scanners and this is absolutely beyond fast. The ES-865 can scan 65 ppm at 300 dpi and can scan both sides in a single pass. Fully load the document feeder (100 pages) and then they are scanned in less than 2 minutes. You're able to scan business cards and ID cards. It also has a Slow Speed Mode for delicate scans. This a great addition for virtual schooling as it saves time by not having to take a picture of the work and then submit it. Easily scan and post. Time saver equals happy Dad! Epson has surpassed what I would have expected in a fast document scanner. It also has double-feed detection and Skew Correction to help with misfeeds. Output resolution from 50 to 1200 dpi. Small footprint scanner fits easily on my desk. Also handles most paper sizes for great quality scanning. It includes a LCD front panel with push buttons for operation.

For AMAZING QUALITY!!I We have been using the Epson Workforce ES-865 for a few weeks now, and it has been a complete savior in so many projects. the longest time, I was using a hand head scanner, which got the job done, but just seemed to take way too long to complete the simplest tasks. With this scanner, though, I have speed, convenience, and quality - All in one! My of my favorite features with this product is the color quality of the scans. Working in kitchen design and remodel, it's essential that the scans we submit via our scanner is vivid and accurate, not blurry and difficult to read. This scanner provides us with exactly what we need. Our scans look the same as on document that we scanned in. I highly recommend this for any business owner, student, or that person who scans a lot into their devices. This tool is convenient, accurate, vivid, and extremely beneficial.

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.

The size of the scanner is great, perfect size to move around to wherever it's needed! I love that I am able to upgrade to the accounting edition. I am very unorganized, so the upgrade helps me keep all my important receipts and papers organized and easily accessible. Now that I have used this scanner, I don't know how I managed without it!

This thing is awesome. We have over a decade tried the all-in-one printer/scanner/copier, and have since accumulated tons of paper because the ADF on the all-in-one is slow, it's prone to error, the quality of the scan is suspect, etc. We've just settled for huge filing cabinet and hope for the best. With 2 kids under the age of 4, and using receipts, documents, etc. for both work, and personal reasons for mortgage, car work, investments, etc… it's just accumulated and we haven't been able to keep up. This came in the mail and I was frustrated with how it didn't have wifi at first. But the set-up was so simple. The size and durability of the printer quickly changed my mind since it was small enough to fit on my desk vs my all-in-one. I was up and running within 10 minutes. It connected easily through my docking station and my wife has even enjoyed it. It scans so quickly, and the quality I can't believe given how quickly it goes through. Even carbon copy receipts was clearly legible! I think I scanned closed to 20 pages in seconds. The software is easy to use, I wished it had a few more integrations (e.g. one note, which I'm sure if I played around with it more I could print to one note). The indexing could always be better, but I think that's true even with the most sophisticated hardware/software out there. You'd have to get pretty smart like detecting a change in paper/font/layout to know "this is a new document" (enhancement request!). I'd highly recommend this to anyone who is trying to clear out paper, index their personal files, create back-ups, or otherwise really reduce the stress of "all this paper!".

This Epson DS-865 is blazing fast and the OCR results are among the best I've seen. I've used many different model scanners at work and this model competes with more expensive models in those terms of performance. It scans at over 60 pages per minute (double that if double-sided) and has a high duty cycle rating of 7,000 page a day, these two specs would make this an ideal workhorse for businesses. The feeder holds up to 100 pages and is flexible in use. This model has TWAIN support which allows you the ability to use other scanning software if you chose to. I tested the TWAIN support with 3rd party scanning software and it worked well with no problems. But when it came to OCR accuracy the Epson software with it's built-in OCR support or integration could not be beat so I stuck with using the bundled Epson ScanSmart software. The OCR from the Epson software was much quicker as well. Image quality is very good and resolution maxes out at 1200dpi. The Epson SmartScan software is straightforward and easy to use, but it is a bit light on advanced features and settings. The software could be a bit more robust with easier/quicker access to scan quality settings. It has buttons to allow for attachment to email, uploads to cloud hosts like Google drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Evernote, Print, and saving to MS Office file formats. The Invoice/Receipt Management features unfortunately requires a paid one-time upgrade. Unfortunately this model is missing network connectivity, there is no Ethernet or Wi-Fi support. This limits the versatility of the scanner and forces you to place it at a desk next to a desktop or laptop. I would've liked to bring it into the living room and spend an afternoon scanning mail and documents in front of the TV. In the office it could've have been set up near the front reception counter to quickly scan documents from clients. Since there is no network connectivity, there is no scan to smartphone or tablet support. Another negative is the lack of support for user-defined jobs through the scanner menu and interface. I've used scanners in the past where you could set up pre-defined locations and folders to scan to and with different scan settings accessible from the scanner itself and I feel that is an important feature for businesses. There is no "One-touch" scanning either which several competitors offer. When you press the SCAN button on this scanner it starts up the Epson Scansmart software on the connected PC and you have to continue the scanning process there, there is no way to set a default save location and have files automatically named and saved without PC intervention. Scanning at the very minimum requires 3 button presses or clicks; Scan button on the scanner, click on "Save" in scanning software to bring up the Save screen, then another click on "Save" to save the file. This was a disappointment after using other brands and models that offer that time-saving feature. The build quality of the scanner is solid with good quality rigid plastics with minimal flex and good fit of components. The rollers and other consumable parts have an estimated lifetime of 200,000 scans and replacement parts are available. The footprint is small and compact and that helps with placement and positioning on the desk. The feeder and output trays are versatile and easy to manipulate for different paper sizes. I've scanned a few hundred pages a day so far without a hiccup or paper jam, the high volume reliability is impressive. The existing features and functionality may be adequate and enough for typical home users or less demanding offices with straightforward scan jobs, but this excellent hardware would really benefit from software updates that add features to improve ease of use, versatility, and one touch scanning that advanced users want. If you do not need more advanced features and customization and only need a fast, accurate, and reliable scanner that does it's job then this model would be great and recommended. The excellent OCR accuracy and fast scanning speeds certainly make this a terrific scanner for most users.

When I received and opened the box, I was surprised at how light and small it is. This is great since you are able to move it around, if needed, and it does not take up a lot of space on your desk. Taking it out of the box was easy, especially since it is so light. I don’t mean light as in flimsy, I mean that in weight, and it does feel quite durable. The quick start guide was great! It was so simple and walked me through the steps of setting it up. The setup was fairly quick, the only thing that took a while, I would say about 20 minutes or so, was downloading the software. I then went on to test it out. Boy, this thing is quick! I was so surprised. I have never used a scanner that was this fast. The page shoots right out in about a second and your scanned page is immediately on your screen. I then went on to try a double sided document. I was thinking I would need to turn it over, making sure it was the correct way so it didn’t end up upside down on the screen (a common problem I have had with other scanners in the past), but to my surprise, I looked up on the screen an both sides we already done in one scan! In order to try something besides a regular sheet of paper, I took out an old box of photos that I do not have any digital copies of. I adjusted the paper tray to the size of the photo and clicked the button. It scanned perfectly and also scans the other side of the photo. I saw on the computer screen that you can turn this option off, but I decided to keep it on, since most of my photos have names and dates and other important information on the back. How neat that you have the option to do this and can save all your important photo information. I plan on doing more old photos so that I can share online with friends and family, and also have plans to save a lot of digital copies of documents so that I can clear some clutter. I can’t wait to use it some more. It is also simple enough that my 9-year-old daughter can use it, and she is enjoying helping me with the photos.

I was able to download and install the software from the website successfully and install it without incident. Did the test scan and was truly blown away at the result. I then decided to scan some double sided magazine pages I had been working on with my previous scanner to get some comparison. I was very impressed with how quickly it pulled the multiple, double sided, glossy pages through the auto feeder so fast and the scans showed up on my computer screen instantly. I then decided to mess with the settings and get some idea of just how high of a resolution I could scan on some old photos I want to digitize. My photo scans came out beautiful and I was able to play with them in photoshop because of the high resolution scan. My next job was to scan multiple pages at the same time since this is the primary reason I need this scanner. I put 56 double sided pages and the scanning was complete in less than 60 seconds! You can officially color me impressed. I have always been a loyal Epson fan for many, decades and this product did not disappoint me. “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.”

Epson WorkForce ES-865 Color Duplex Document scanner is a great and affordable scanner to have at home and at small to midsize offices. The scanner is very fast at scanning and converting text at an accurate rate. They have a large ADF compared to many other scanners. My only problem with it is that there are no wireless or mobile connectivity available for workers who would like that option. It's a great multipurpose scanner.

This review is for the Epson WorkForce ES-865 Color Duplex Document Scanner! Just want to tell you I am in love with this scanner. I own a very busy remote medical billing office and I am constantly scanning documents to and from physicians and to and from my accountant. This little scanner is a work horse and Speedy Gonzales all wrapped into one. I was able to scan 30 pages of documents in less than 20 seconds! Amazing! The ScanSmart software on this scanner allows you to change the scanned documents using the rotate and crop features. Plus it is super easy and not hard to use which is important to me because I sometimes find these things daunting to use. Not this scanner. There are so many different software applications that you can scan with this machine like scan to your email, MS Word, Excel and One Drive to name a few. It covers everything that I might want to scan and save or send and you can save in several ways like PDF, PNG, BMP, JPEG and TIFF. So that gives you a variety. The setup was very easy but you do have to download the software from Epson's support website, it does not come in the box. When it arrived I thought really this is it? Comes in a very compact box but boy once you open and start setting it up you really got a lot in there. You get in your box the Workforce ES-Color Duplex Scanner, auto-document feeder tray, ac adapter with power cable, and a 5ft long super speed USB 3.0 cable. Once you get it set up and install the software it doesn't take very long and your ready to go! So impressed! Basically had it up and running and scanning in less than 15 minutes! Just have to say I am super happy with this scanner! It is lightweight 7.8lbs and small enough to fit almost anywhere. That is important because I work from a home office. It is only 9 inches high, 11 inches wide and 8 inches in depth so I got it on my desk super easy with room to spare. I honestly would recommend this to anyone working in a smaller office or larger office that wants quality scanning for photos and documents. Its an amazing little machine! 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.

I have been using the Epson Workforce ES-865 for a few weeks now, and it has been a complete savior in so many projects. For the longest time, I was using a hand head scanner, which got the job done, but just seemed to take way too long to complete the simplest tasks. With this scanner, though, I have speed, convenience, and quality - All in one! My of my favorite features with this product is the color quality of the scans. Working in kitchen design and remodel, it's essential that the scans we submit via our scanner is vivid and accurate, not blurry and difficult to read. This scanner provides us with exactly what we need. Our scans look the same as on document that we scanned in. I highly recommend this for any business owner, student, or that person who scans a lot into their devices. This tool is convenient, accurate, vivid, and extremely beneficial.

I really like this scanner because it quickly scan documents and receipts. This scanner doesn't take up much space, It is perfect for home office use and small business. It is well constructed and performs very well. This scanner must be use with the computer via USB 3.0 connection. This is the most fastest scanner I ever had. The LCD screen is very nice and the buttons are easy to use. “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.”
