A compact, yet ultrafast-scanner for a fast-paced world!

The setup process of this compactwas easy- unbox, plug it in, turn it on, download the driver/software package, and then plug it into the computer when the setup asks you.
Next, I had a stack of medical and registration forms for my kids school, many of them two-sided documents. Using the Epson scanner software, I toggled "2-sided" scanning, and "skip blank pages", and just like that in a matter of only seconds it simultaneously scanned both sides of each page, left out the blank sides and created a high-quality 200-dpi PDF that was both crisp while still compressing to a small file size ready for email.
My past experience with SOHO scanners like the HP OfficeJet and Canon ImageClass lines of scanners shows that there was much room for improvement when it comes to scanners. Now that I've tried this, I never want to go back to 30 seconds of waiting for the scanner to warm up, move the reader head, scan the page, the duplexer pulling it back in to scan the other side, etc., because in the same amount of time, I could scan two-sides of 30 sheets with this Epson DS-530 II duplex scanner!
This is a review for the Epson DS-530 II Color Document Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent quality, missing network connectivity

I’m very torn on this scanner, it does about 95% of what I want, and that 95% it does excellent. The biggest drawback to this scanner is its lack of network connectivity.
Lets start with what this scanner does well. This scanner is compact, and reads documents at lightning speed. It takes up a minimal amount of real estate on my desk, and yet it scans faster than the industrial size machines in my office of 500+ people. The feeder seems to move at comparable speed than my full size office scanner feeder, but because it scans both sides in a single pass, it seems to do twice as many pages in less time. The full size machine I have at my office requires three passes of every page for double sided scanning, and this one goes through (both sides) in a single pass.
The quality of the scan is excellent, and exactly what I would expect from an epson product. The interface is easy to use and straightforward. It is clear and gives you quick options. It allows me to scan directly to a number of different sources including straight to a local drive, Google Drive, Evernote, Sharepoint, SugarSync, Email, FPT even another printer. I’ve never seen the option of scanning straight to the printer, essentially making it half of a copy machine. It even has buttons that allow manual operation outside of the software, which I find very convenient.
The major drawback of this machine is its lack of connectivity. It easily connects via USB 3, but has no ability to connect to a local network. I don’t find internet connected printers to be extra useful, so I’m not dinging it for its lack of internet connectivity, but I have not found a way to make it a network printer, outside of plugging it into another computer. I prefer to use my laptop and tablet at various locations, so it is important for me that I don’t have to physically plug into my peripherals. I have connected the scanner to my docking station, but because of this, I have to dock in order to scan a document. I would prefer a machine that connects to my network, whether it is wifi or hard line ethernet. I think that network connectivity is a modern day necessity, even if all users may not use it.
The lack of direct network connectivity is a major consideration when purchasing this machine. This machine is certainly best for those who do not have a need for network connectivity.

Awesome Scanner!

All scanning jobs can be handled by this scanner. This is compact in size and doesn't take too much on the office desk. The best part is the auto document feeder that really saves time and effort to keep the paper straight on the regular glass plate scanner. Now I don't have to scan one paper at a time, the auto feeder does it perfectly. It neither misfeeds nor double feeds the paper and ensures that no page is skipped while doing a stack scan. The scan quality is impressive with the few latest features like auto-rotating, blank page removal & auto-cropping. It's equally good for business cards and id cards scanning. The scanning speed is pretty quick, around 30 pages per minute, which is better than most. It is also able to store the scanned documents directly to the online storage accounts like Google Drive, Evernote, and SharePoint, this is the most used feature by me. Overall this is a great scanner for any small business which has a lot of scanning jobs, makes things easier and quicker.
