Epson WorkForce DS-1630 Flatbed Scanner with ADF

This is really quite fast using the ADF, and thankfully Epson themselves have provided drivers and software for us Linux users. No external PSU required as uses standard C7 lead. Very pleased.

This is a well made and compact scanner, fits great in my laptop case. Works great wired or wireless, internal battery lasts well for wireless scanning, good buy.I was so happy with it after I told my sister, she purchased one.

As mentioned by another reviewer, this Epson scanner is quite a challenge to install if you are a Mac user.What I assumed would be a simple plug & play installation took me hours to complete.This involved the use of the Terminal app, and much online research to find the workarounds.Long story short, getting the Mac OS to "see" the scanner seemed to be the main problem all round.MacOS Mojave 10.14.3 does not support this Epson product, according to both Apple and Epson websites, so the set-up problems seem to be inevitable.My scanner interfaces are now via Epson's own Scan 2 interface, Image Capture and Adobe PSE13.All that aside, the DS-1630 is fast and the top-sided paper feed is snappy.Now it's running, it's fine and looking to be a good purchase.

This replaces a HP Scanjet Pro 3500 f1 which failed just before it was a year old with a defective scan head. The warranty replacement failed after a year too. The Epson has a superior document feed and smaller footprint. Scan quality is very good. The control software follows the Epson family look-&-feel, where I think some of the setting selection dialogue boxes use smaller character size than necessary. I've experienced one misfeed in three weeks use and few slightly skewed pages. Impressed so far.

This compact little scanner is amazing. It scans A4 width maximum, but that’s all I needed. So much quicker and less fiddly than a flat bed scanner and so small it takes up no space at all. It scans quickly and faultlessly, the installation is a breeze and the software is easy to use. Makes a change to buy a device that exceeds expectations.

Do not buy this product, awful to connect, not worth your time or money

Followed the advice of earlier reviews and ignored the worthless instructions and CD that came with the scanner and just went straight to the Epson website and downloaded the MAC 'document capture' software and drivers. Easily installed in 10 mins and up and running within 20 mins of opening box. With the right software settings it scans from the sheet feeder and outputs to my Brother WiFi printer so works effectively as a small volume photocopier. Document naming needs a bit of care but once done works with no issues. Good quality scans too. Overall a great scanner thank you Epson.

I have now had this product for over a year. When it works it is a great scanner and easy to use, however I have never manag ed to get the scan button on the unit to work I always have access it through the printers & scanners in settings.However, I constantly have the issue of the macbook not seeing the scanner and have had to re-install the driver multiple times. This most recent time I just can not get it to work. I have tried various trouble shooting articles to try to fix this problem but they will work once then not the next time.If you are using a windows operating system I suspect it works fine, hence all the really good reviews.
