New Epson Desktop Scanner Expands Professional Document Scanner Portfolio with Ultimate Medium-Volume Scanning Solution\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

LONG BEACH, Calif. \u2013 Nov. 12, 2014 \u2013 <\/em>Epson America, a leading provider of exceptional performing business imaging solutions, today announced the WorkForce\u00ae DS-520<\/a> sheet-fed scanner, the latest addition to its lineup of professional-grade scanning solutions. Boasting speeds of up to 30 ppm\/60 ipm1 the fast and efficient DS-520 is the ideal solution for business users. The compact scanner features a robust software package, including Epson Document Capture Pro, advanced color and image adjustment capabilities and OCR. In addition, TWAIN and ISIS\u00ae drivers allow for seamless compatibility with the document management software users prefer, providing the versatility businesses require.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaintaining business workflow efficiently without sacrificing quality is always top-of-mind in today\u2019s fast-paced workforce, and the WorkForce DS-520 has been designed to deliver on that goal without compromise,\u201d said Heather Litus Johnston, product manager, Document Scanners, Epson America, Inc. \u201cThe DS-520 delivers a range of features to increase productivity for businesses, including speed, flexibility and professional imaging quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speed, Quality and Reliability<\/p>\n

The WorkForce DS-520 is rated at up to 30 ppm\/60 ipm since it scans both sides of one sheet in just one pass and holds up to 50 pages with its built-in ADF, making it ideal as a personal desktop scanner or a workgroup solution to share. With the ability to scan folded pages, rigid ID cards, stacks of business cards and single sheets, the DS-520 is well-equipped to quickly and effectively scan a wide-array of documentation with minimal user support. In addition, the scanner has three sets of rollers for dynamic skew protection with ultrasonic double-feed detection technology, which senses if more than a single page has been fed and automatically stops the feeding to avoid missing pages or jamming.<\/p>\n

The WorkForce DS-520\u2019s speed and compact size (standing at just 6.1\u201d tall, 11.7\u201d wide and 6\u201d deep) does not sacrifice image quality. With innovative advanced color and image adjustment capabilities, users will have a simple-to-use and flexible solution for crisp, clean scans. The Color Enhance feature captures specific and continuously variable colors from the original document, successfully manipulating how the software captures and removes color from the original page; and Color Dropout removes any color from the scanned image. Users have the ability to isolate and save up to six different colors to capture or drop for each scan profile, simplifying the capture and maintenance of data for repeat use. The DS-520 also includes automatic paper size detection, hole-punch removal and automatic de-skewing.<\/p>\n

Increased Efficiency and Productivity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Catering to modern business needs where access to editable, easily-searchable files is critical, the WorkForce DS-520 offers multiple options to automate workflow and increase productivity. Epson Document Capture Pro software for Windows or Mac\u00ae allows users to immediately scan to popular cloud services including Google Docs\u2122, MS SharePoint\u00ae, and Evernote\u00ae2 with one touch, and easily access documents from multiple devices or share with others. Document Capture Pro also enables users to efficiently manage and route documents by scanning directly to email, FTP sites or any computer folder.<\/p>\n

In addition, the scanner is enabled with TWAIN and ISIS drivers, permitting businesses to continue using the document management software of their choice to better fit their work environments and boost overall efficiency. Businesses will also benefit from leveraging an optional network module (sold separately), which can support up to 100 work stations with full scanner functionality.<\/p>\n

Additional features of the WorkForce DS-520 include:<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One-Touch Scanning \u2013 Front control panel with up to 30 user-definable scan jobs including scan-to-PDF and scan-to-cloud<\/p>\n
