The Epson WorkForce ES-50 is a portable sheet-fed document scanner for travellers, field staff, and home users. It weighs 0.59 lb, draws power from a computer USB port, scans a single page in about 5.5 seconds at up to 600 dpi, and works with Windows and Mac computers.

Deep-Dive Story & Problem/Solution

Paperwork Collected on the Road Gets Lost Before It Reaches the Office

Receipts, signed forms, and business cards picked up while travelling often sit in bags for weeks. Phone photos are quick but produce skewed, shadowed images that are poor for records.

The ES-50 scans documents straight into a laptop at proper document quality. It needs only one USB cable for both power and data, so it works in a car, hotel, or client office.

Epson ScanSmart software names and saves files as searchable PDFs and can send them to cloud storage as soon as they are scanned.

Built for Travel

The scanner measures about 10.7 x 1.9 x 1.4 inches, smaller than a rolled magazine, and automatic feeding mode pulls in each sheet as it is inserted.

Flexible Media Support

It handles receipts, ID cards, business cards, and pages up to 8.5 inches wide and 72 inches long.
