[@andrewwhyatt2465]

Thanks I bought one after watching this. Great review and I became a subscriber to your channel. you do it better than epson

[@almedogjurgji]

Did you need to calibrate it in the beginning or after installing the epson documentscan you can immediately start to scan?

[@ellenholmeswest]

Buying one today. Thanks for the review it helped me make a well informed decision regarding this device.

[@Abdallah_2039]

Hi Ellen! congratulations on that! How did you find the device? What do you think of that? Can it be connected directly to the phone without the need for a computer? Hope you can help me with that 😊

[@ShafaetBeenAlam]

Does it copy multiple pages on same time

[@otto3967]

do you have to press a button everytime you scan? or it can scan right away as soon you feed a paper to scan?

[@gustavovm491]

I have ds30 and Es300w models and if this works the same the scan button is to call the Epson scanning software, but you can also just use import from twain/scanner option in any other program without pressing anything on the device, it just needs to be powered on.

[@cruzcastaneda2205]

Thanks for the review man, helped me make up my mind 👍🏽

[@glennzhang7435]

Hi, your video is so insightful. But I wonder if there are any type of scanners that support scanning a long document, like a 2 (or even 5) meters receipt?

[@andreymor5201]

fujitsu scansnap ix500

[@brenn4063]

do you know if the calibration sheet will help with the black strip along the right edge of the scanned document? l assume that the scanner must be dirty to make that black strip along the right edge, so l don't know how the calibration sheet will help with that, but that's what the epson tech told me.

[@madpeys]

Does it help with sorting once scanned or am I just scanning the receipts to store electronically? I want to scan and have it sort data to organize a years worth of receipts. If I have to still manually enter the data, I can just do that without scanning..

[@jakeliujakeliu]

This is great review, please make more, also I’m looking for something can scan long receipt does it do that? Thank you

[@NewParentsInTraining]

Yes it does

[@iMANTlS]

Can you scan a passport ? if not the whole passport, can you scan like half a document ? What happen if you want to scan a page within a stapled document ? can you make it scan and stop rather than keep pulling the ducement completely to the other side ? thanks.

[@akak8299]

Probably not.. its only for scanning document 1 sheet thickness

[@Abdallah_2039]

How did you use it on the phone? Many people cannot connect the device to the phone and suffer from this problem😓

[@NewParentsInTraining]

I mentioned in the video, starting @ 6:13

[@katenault456]

Does it organize your receipts? Like does it recognize receipts that are similar to another one?

[@waywaybeyond]

I read a review that these scanners scan only to the app itself, rather than a file on drive, using a Mac. Has this been improved for a Mac version 13.0. I tried calling Epson technical support, and is only for their printers. I've tried several Google search numbers.

[@NewParentsInTraining]

Sorry, we don't own a Mac.

[@manOmanyTrades]

Thank you for the review. You just earned a new subscriber. I have the IRIScan WiFi portable scanner which uses SD cards and wifi. My biggest complaint is to connect to the Wi-Fi you need to disconnect from the internet. This scanner doesn't seem to be able to connect to an access point and work as a networked device. That makes it pretty impractical. I was hoping to upgrade to the Epson since it claims support of using an access point. I'd think that would have been a given in 2021. Have you had any success getting the access point to work? I'd love to see an updated review.

[@shondra6]

So would I need wifi if I take it to a house to scan old photos. The house doesn’t have internet.

[@storegga]

Great review

[@lisaliv2585]

Wow great video!

[@caroldavid3716]

Do the scan documents print in photo, word or pdf format?

[@annabell0768]

Does it work with Mac

[@NewParentsInTraining]

Yes, it does.

[@annabell0768]

@@NewParentsInTraining thank you so much

[@maclac48]

Great video, thanks for sharing! 👍🏿

[@yelnik9000]

For anyone thinking of buying this for scanning long documents, the mobile app DOES NOT support scanning long documents/receipts. You can only scan those on the desktop app. They should not claim this supports receipt scanning until the mobile app is fixed.

[@larrytolson4135]

Does not work with iPhone 15. Apps have deleted the ES series.

[@LiveLife378]

Thx. I buying one now

[@JamesMackin-ic7km]

Wish you had tried scanning a legal doc too....but I am sure it works fine.

[@yabasadministratie2754]

can we scan pasports with it? i have seen reviews that scanned atm cards etc. but are pasports possible to scan? cause this is importmant for my bussnies

[@NewParentsInTraining]

I don't think so, passports are too thick to pass thru.

[@yabasadministratie2754]

@@NewParentsInTraining :( thnx for your answer

[@rin99999]

Thanks for making this video!

[@SteffiLCyang]

Thank you for the video!

[@m.am.g3296]

Can you scan checks and can it organize it for me automatically?Thank you 😊

[@NewParentsInTraining]

It will do the scanning part but you still need to feed the checks in.

[@upinsmokedre420]

Is it a usb charged device

[@NewParentsInTraining]

Yes

[@hoodwinkiez]

Thanks mate!

[@Crookie86]

I was able to connect it via USB how can I connected via Bluetooth or Wifi ? Can’t seem to find the action after using the USB

[@bobbylow175]

Questions to things you did not address in your review, 1. Can it scan double side in one-pass without flipping the page over? 2. Does it come with built-in battery? How long can it last e.g. how many scans? 3. Can you hookup with the iPhone/Android without a home WiFi e.g. Canon has direct WiFi on their printers which negate the need to have an intermediate WiFi such as a home or office WiFi Thanks.

[@waywaybeyond]

Are you being paid etc by Epson for your review?

[@NewParentsInTraining]

I wish.

[@jaimelebron50]

Great video. Thank you.

[@anhnhattran4701]

sorry , tattoo scan do it?

[@nami08041988]

The ink tank system appears to be much better than the cartridge system kzbin.infoUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 and a lot cheaper to run. The machine was easy to set up. A small point but I thought they'd be a USB cable included to help with the set up but there was none. I've been using it now for a few weeks and it seems like a good product and superior to my previous printers which were all troublesome HP machines.

[@rozzie5651]

How can you email what you scan to a business email?

[@12thDecember]

Email the digital document as an attachment, the same way you would attach and send any other document on your computer.

[@Riku_Shin]

Epson Drivers contain ADWARE on their downloads. make sure you download the right one and check them before installing

[@jhype876]

Can it print or is just for scanning

[@gustavovm491]

Scan only. There are printers of similar size but are for printing on thermal paper only.

[@quanathan]

we got a kid at home and he might think its a toy lmfaaa

[@elizabethgonzalez1691]

Mine won't connect to my phone 😔📱

[@Abdallah_2039]

Why bro?

[@glensmithcpa1909]

My Epson ES-60W was VERY disappointing! I didn't use it very much after I first bought it. Maybe I scanned 30 sheets of paper. After the one year warranty expired, I needed to use the scanner. The battery wouldn't hold a charge! Epson would do NOTHING for me. A replacement battery was more expensive than a new scanner! DON'T buy an ES model! Buy a DS model! Both look identical, except the ES models are black and the DS models are white. Other than that, I can't see any difference between them, EXCEPT the warranty, on the DS models is THREE years!

[@perfectsoulmates2023]

I think by not using lithium batteries they quickly deteriorate without regular usage. Or yeah, could be a defect 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@nasergh9354]

It can't work with power cable? Or it needs to be charged then work?

[@tomwright9904]

Does it work with Linux?

[@NewParentsInTraining]

yes, you just have to download the software for Linus.

[@surfreadjumpsleep]

wish it was usb-c

[@qwertykeyboard5901]

Using a mobile phone to ingest scans sounds kinda miserable. Even on a really high end phone. I'd much rather do it even on an ancient computer.

[@Alon-q1y]

Their software sucks!! So much that I'm returning for a different brand

[@NewParentsInTraining]

What did you ended up getting?

[@yeagermcbipper9008]

You don't understand , the scanner IS an access point. It can only accept clients, not become a client of another router. Read the doc's and stop just randomly pressing buttons and guessing WRONGLY.
