Why get a document scanner?

Document scanners are often overlooked devices for your office, company, or home. Above all, manufacturers of multifunction printers label them as unnecessary and replaceable. The automatic document feeder of a multifunction printer has a very limited lifespan compared to a document scanner. The multifunction printer feeder is designed only for occasional daily scanning and copying of standard documents at the standard weight of 80 g/m2.

Document scanning, which is intended to cover the need to scan all types of documents, naturally has higher requirements. Some people only need to scan regular office paper, while others also need to scan thin paper from dot matrix printers, which are still used, for example, for delivery notes. For archiving in accounting, it is necessary to scan documents and receipts on thermal paper, printed from cash register printers, or documents from parking systems printed on thick paper. In healthcare, it is necessary to archive documentation of various sizes, including long formats, on different materials - from thin prescriptions to thick cover boards. Healthcare is also digitizing films. In general, various business cards, ID cards, plastic cards, unusually long vehicle registration certificates, etc. are scanned and extracted... This shows that document scanning really requires a dedicated device optimized for processing a "document salad."

Another main reason for purchasing a document scanner is primarily its high durability, daily duty cycle, and long service life, including the long lifespan of the feeding components.

Automatic feeders of office multifunction devices are designed for tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of scans, while document scanners can handle on the order of millions of scans. Feeding components are easily user-replaceable, eliminating the need for regular servicing. The daily workload of a document scanner, depending on the model series, can reach up to tens of thousands of scans. Even with lower-end scanner models, it is usually standard to scan both sides in a single pass, as well as ultrasonic detection of double document feeding. You will therefore obtain a scan of your documents quickly and reliably.

Epson offers a wide range of flatbed, sheet-fed, and combined A4 and A3 scanners. From small mobile scanners to powerful scanners with a scanning speed of 180 images per minute. You can choose a scanner with USB 3.0, via Ethernet (LAN) or Wi-Fi interface. Network scanning in particular is now on the rise, because it allows multiple users to share a single scanner. Document Capture Pro scanning software is available both as a workstation version and as a server version with web administration. This software enables the automation of scanning by combining individual steps into a single mouse click. DCP software enables a range of useful functions - OCR text recognition, image auto-rotation, size cropping, barcode recognition (EAN), document separation according to set parameters, and of course saving the document to a specified location, including cloud storage or sending by email. It is very easy not only for companies to integrate Epson document scanners into their IT environment and manage them easily, just like all other Epson devices, through the Epson Device Admin application.
