Epson DS-7500 Document Scanner: 40ppm, TWAIN & ISIS Drivers, 3-Year Warranty with Next Business Day Replacement

WOW. I am impressed as I scan lots of documents and older books. This was extremely easy to set up and get going. I also like the page size adjustment for smaller books like paperback size with no cropping. I had a HP ScanJet 8390 at 35 pages per minute and when I updated my Mac to 10.9.2, the HP quit working. HP offers no drivers for 10.9 Maverick, so that was the end of the line for the HP. I did some scanning with the Epson and it was scorchingly fast - way faster that my 10 year old HP. No misfires or problems to date - only my first day but I am exceedingly happy with this new Epson. I was concerned as I have not had an Epson product before but I didn't find any reviews that pointed to a problem.

You can tell that the scanner is wonderfully designed and built to last. the large and easily interchangeable feeder mechanism is well thought out and can handle a high volume before cleaning. however, I've found that the mechanism traps dirt easily, which is a bit of an issue. Aside from that there is the issue with overall document size that fits inside on both the scanner and the flat bed it can't get any thicker than letter paper. length wise you can pretty much go crazy but unless your oversized document fits within that thin margin you're SOL.TL;DR: Great Scanner, but not worth that 1k+ price tag.key points:-good, fast, hi and low rez scanning-built to last and it shows-easy to troubleshot and access key components for future on-site repair-scanner software can scan searchable PDF's, don't need pay software, has a wide range of scanning options-software has terrible UI, for example you have to turn on editing documents before instantly saving-software doesn't let you chose name of file before saving, just squeezes out numbered files and dumps them in selected folder, need to rename everything from file explorer-low size compatibility-NO NETWORKING-literally $1,000+ dollars

We need assitance in getting this produce replaced after 8 months it not longer works and have not been able to get any assistance on getting it replaced.

Beware! The copy to printer function in Document Capture Pro only works with an Epson Printer. If you do not have an Epson printer you will not be able to print copies of a document using Document Capture Pro without saving it to your computer first. The separate Epson Scan application has no connection to print directly at all. To print a copy of a document it must first be saved to the computer then printed and then if you don’t want to keep an electronic copy on your computer it must be deleted from its file then deleted again from the recycle bin.23 Clicks are necessary to scan and print a file when you don’t want to keep the electronic copy. “Epson-Scan” may work with a few less clicks but not significantly so. You still have to save the file to your computer somewhere. Open it into an application in order to print it and then close the application and delete the unwanted files. UGH!!! If you have an Epson printer this problem is not supposed to exist. There is a print button in two places in the Document Pro window which will, I am told go directly to an Epson printer when you have one. When you don’t have an Epson Printer you get a message saying “The printer Driver is not available. Quit the application, then reinstall the printer driver.” There is however nowhere to reinstall the driver and none other than an Epson Driver and printer will ever be recognized. I have verified this with two separate second echelon techs from Epson. The other save to computer functions connected with the scanner seem to be working well.If you have an Epson printer, all is well. If you don’t want to make unsaved copies, all is well. But! If you want to make unsaved copies and you don’t have an Epson printer, do you really want an Epson Scanner with Document Capture Pro?????I do not advocate buying an Epson printer to solve this problem. I am questioning the appropriateness of buying an Epson Scanner. I think Epson should know better.If you don’t believe that 23 clicks are necessary, here are the steps..Click 1: Open Document Capture Pro. Click 2: Click folder icon in the destination choices. Click 3: Choose Desktop unless you want to save the file. It will be easiest to find and delete. : Click 4: Click on the scanner icon. This opens the Main Settings dialogue box listing choices and parameters of the scan. Click 5: When you have set your parameters for the scan, click the highlighted scan button in right bottom corner. The document is scanned. An Image of the scan appears in the main window and also in the thumbnails window. Click 6: Click “File” to open its menu. Click 7: Mouse over “send” to open the send menu and click “Folder”. The Batch File dialogu box opens. Click 8: Choose file type, name and any other options listed. PDF seems to be best for “quick” (?) copy, and click OK. A PDF icon for the file saved appears on your desktop in the first open space available. Click 9: “Folder – Progress” box appears with advancing green line showing progress. When the space for the green line is filled click Close. Click 10: Double click the new PDF file to open it in Acrobat Reader. Click 11: Click File in Acrobat Reader to open its menu. Click 12: Opens Acrobat Reader print Dialogue Box. Click 13: Choose the parameters of an Acrobat Reader document that you want and the properties of your printer that are relevant to your copy. Click print, and it should print.We now have the desired copy but unless we want the electronic copy we are not done.Click 14: Click red X in top right corner ofAcrobat Reader (if you have Win 7) or whatever works in 8 or 10, and close Acrobat Reader. Click 15: Click X in top right corner to close Document Capture Pro. Click 16: Mouse over and right-click the PDF icon on your desktop for the document just printed to open it’s right click menu. Click 17: Select “Delete” and Click it. A dialogue box opens “Are you sure you want to move this fine to the Recycle Bin?” No you don’t want to move it to the recycle bin. You want rid of it NOW but that isn’t a choice. Click 18: Click yes. The Icon disappears but we are not done. The file is in the recycle bin and it will become clogged if we don’t always remove the unwanted copies we just put in there. Click 19: Double click the recycle bin to open it. Click 20: Mouse over and right-click your file icon Click 21: Click Delete which opens a dialogue box saying “Are you sure you want to permanently delete this file?” Click 22: Click yes and the file disappears. Click23: Click X in top right corner (Win 7) and close the recycle bin. WHEW!!! I wonder why Epson has refused to post this review.

Software is just so-so. Not customizeable enough for my tastes.

We have been using the scanner for about a month. It is very fast and never jams. After reviewing multi-function laser printers we just could not find any that are even remotely as fast as the Epson. Some of our scans are only 1 or 2 pages but the bulk are from 10-30 pages. The software is easy to use and we mainly create pdf documents. Very solid well constructed machine and worth the money.

The Epson DS-7500 is very fast. I am working on a large project, digitizing club publications and saving them as pdf and jpg formats. This scanner is making quick work of this projects.

The scanner is OK for scanning document with 300 dpi resolution, but slows down significantly when scanning documents with higher resolutions such as 450 or 600 dpi
