Epson - WorkForce ES-C220 Compact Desktop Document Scanner - Black

This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-C220 Desktop Document scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. I've been using the Epson ES-C220 for the past couple of weeks and I must say, it's an impressive piece of technology. The setup was straightforward, and I was able to get it up and running in no time. The compact design fits perfectly on my desk, and the auto document feeder is a game-changer for efficiently scanning multiple pages. The scan quality is excellent, capturing clear and crisp images every time. I've scanned everything from invoices to old family photos, and the results have been consistently great. The software is user-friendly and offers a variety of useful features. Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with this scanner and would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable document scanner.

Overall, the Epson WorkForce ES-C220 Compact Desktop Scanner is one of the fastest and most convenient scanners I have ever used. Its compact size makes it a perfect fit for any office space. The scanner connects quickly and easily to both my PC and Mac. On the default setting, it effortlessly scans through pages of documents at an impressive speed. What truly sets this scanner apart from others in its category is its ability to scan both sides of each page simultaneously. This feature is a significant time-saver, especially when using the higher 600 dpi setting. However, I had to deduct one star from this review because the scanner can be problematic when feeding multiple pages. While it handles single pages and small stacks well, it struggles with larger stacks of, say, 20 pages or more, often causing paper jams. Despite its lightweight and compact design, which makes it less suitable for heavy-duty scanning tasks, it remains an excellent choice for light-to-moderate use. If you need a reliable, fast, and space-efficient scanner for smaller loads, the Epson WorkForce ES-C220 is a remarkable option.

TLDR; If you're looking for a compact, portable if needed, and very quick scanner, this one is for you! Although the packaging was a little clunky when taking out the scanner, it was at least simple to unpackage. I was a little disappointed in that I had to install additional software, but at least the software is very simple to use with simple buttons to scan. With my first scan of some receipts, I was amazed at how quickly it scanned the document. It's not high resolution, but with pages of notes and receipts, it's not very necessary, and is nice to keep the file size smaller. I don't have a lot of desktop space, so the size of this scanner is very handy! It would be nice to have an icon reminding to place documents upside down in the scanner, but at least when you forget like I do, there's a button within the software to rotate all of the images that you've scanned at once. Since I have to use this in multiple locations, I love that it is so light, and easy to transport. I thought it would be nice to have wi-fi capabilities, but since you have to manually put what's being scanned in, it really doesn't seem as necessary. I suppose it would be nice if multiple people were using it in an office space, but for personal/single-person use, wi-fi isn't needed. Overall, this scanner is a great product, and I'm looking forward to digitizing multiple binders of notes, as well as continued use in tracking receipts. The price, the quality, and the speed brings it all together as a really good scanner, and I highly recommend it!

While working in administration, it is crucial to seek methods to boost productivity and streamline operational procedures. Within the procurement sector, maintaining meticulous organization and tracking of invoices and procurement-related documents is imperative. This motivated my decision to invest in the Epson ES-C220 desktop document scanner. The unboxing process is straightforward and efficient; simply remove the tape, download the required drivers and utilities, connect the Type C to USB cable to an available port, and you are ready to operate the scanner. The device's compact design and clear Start Guide facilitated a quick setup, taking approximately 10 minutes to have the ES-C220 operational. The installation procedure is uncomplicated and rapid, enabling prompt initiation of scanning tasks. Upon detection, a simple search for "Epson ES-C220 drivers" directs to Epson's webpage where the appropriate combo pack containing drivers and utilities can be downloaded based on the operating system. Subsequent installation prompts guide users to configure the device correctly and install useful utilities. The scanner efficiently handles various documents, including invoices, agreements, family photographs, and business cards, producing detailed scans with remarkable speed. While the scanner is not explicitly designed for photographs, it performs adequately when scanning 4x6 photos, with attention to preventing sticking during scanning. Notably, the dual-side scanning feature enhances efficiency in scanning business cards, complemented by the user-friendly Epson smart scan software and "Presto Bizcard" for data categorization into spreadsheets. The scanner offers two modes – vertical and straight through – catering to different scanning requirements. The vertical mode maneuvers paper through a "U-shaped" path ending neatly in the front tray, suitable for papers, multiple page scanning with the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), and business cards. Conversely, the straight through mode inclines the scanner back, with the scanned document exiting through a lower slot, ideal for scanning booklets, brochures, and passports. The scanner operates swiftly, offering the flexibility to save scans in multiple formats, send them to cloud storage, emails, or directly into accounting software. The integration with cloud services like Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox enhances convenience, ensuring seamless document management and storage options. In summary, the Epson ES-C220 is a remarkable asset for both home and office environments, simplifying archival processes for printed documents efficiently and securely. With its remarkable speed, quality scans, versatile positioning options, and affordability, this scanner is highly recommended for enhancing work efficiency and productivity in document management tasks.
