I have hardly used it so far, basically just to see how it works. I would agree with some others reviews that the software is not really user friendly. Takes a bit to figure it out as I didn't want all docs in one PDF. It probably took me about an hour to figure it all out. I really think there could be better help videos, and I would expect more from Epson.
I have had the Epson DS 410 for a couple of weeks now. At work and at home i have been a digital guy for years. Although my HP Envy has a scanner with a document feeder it still could not do batch scans well. The Epson does. I started with old business files and after a few familiarization tries, i was off to the races. Only complaint is the power cord system. I would have preferred not to have a transformer to plug in and hide.
Not as user friendly as my Fujitsu scanner which is a much easier product to use. The software with the DS-410 is not user friendly at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I JUST set up this scanner, but have not yet scanned anything. I received a prompt to review the product immediately after setting it up and installing the software, which was amazingly easy to do. I am hopeful this product will provide years of quality service with minimal issues of concern.
We actually have two of these. We bought one on the recommendation of my brother in law to scan pictures. It does such an awesome job that I wanted one for my desk so that I can scan my pictures and also my papers to make my desk "neat". It does a great job on all fronts. I highly recommend this scanner. It is easy to install and very user friendly.
The scanner is as simple as it can get. I just have to flip my document upside down & inside out. Then push the scan button. The PDF is in the folder so I can rename & move it to where I need it to be. I scanned a paper smaller than A1 & it works out well. It's just side ways so not much problem. I haven't scanned a thicker paper / things like ID or credit card.
The only sad part is that it can't connect to a non-USB computer. I just have to use an adapter but I haven't tried it yet. Hope it works!
