Deep-Dive Story & Problem/Solution

Cabled Scanners Keep Documents Stuck at One Desk

A USB-only scanner works for one person. In a shared office or a home with several devices, everyone else has to move files around manually or wait for access to that computer.

The ES-500W II joins the wireless network, so any authorized computer or mobile device can receive scans. The Epson Smart Panel app starts and saves scans from a phone.

ScanSmart software handles file naming, OCR, and delivery to email or online storage, and automatic image clean-up keeps pages legible.

Batch Scanning

The 50-sheet feeder accepts receipts, business cards, and plastic cards alongside standard pages, with a peak rating of 4,000 sheets per day.

Desk-Friendly Size

The scanner weighs about 8.1 lbs and folds closed between uses to keep dust out of the feed path.
