Review: I would ignore the negative reviews… - I love this scanner! I don’t really get the negative reviews. For the price and the functionality you get, it’s amazing. I’m the type of person who does tons of research before I buy most anything. This includes scanners like this. I was fairly hesitant due to some negative reviews, but I decided to take a chance because I really loved how small, compact and minimalistic this was. I am so happy with my purchase. I have a Mac and setup was a breeze. The minimalist design and the tiny footprint is exactly what I was looking for You don’t have to pay for any additional software for it to function (but I do think you have to download their app, which is free… I don’t know if this is an absolute requirement to use the scanner, but I installed their app because it comes with great feature that make it extremely easy to manage scans and save them. I actually love the features that it provides at no cost so I would recommend downloading it… again, it’s FREE) It just does what it’s supposed to do. One thing to notice is that due to its minimal size if you’re a bit of a perfectionist OCD person like myself you have to be a little more careful about how you load each page to ensure the scans are fed evenly. I assume this is an issue with any scanner but even moreso with something that’s as compact as this and doesn’t have the guides to ensure precise feeding. If you’re looking for a compact scanner, that is efficient, effective and easy to use, I would absolutely recommend this.
Review: Great Little Scanner - This is a great little scanner. I had an older version of this model for years, recently had to replace it. This version, the newer updated scanner of the same model, is a great improvement. Mechanically much faster and easy to use. The software that comes with it makes scanning many times easier than before. I was happy with the older model, but this one gives crisp clear scans. And it takes a fifth the amount of time to do it. Or less.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can it scan two sided documents?**
A: The ES-50 is single-sided, but it does have an automatic feeding function that allows you to scan one side, flip the page over and scan the reverse without having to click the Scan button again. Once all the pages are scanned, you click Finish to save the multi-page document. - The Epson Scanner Team

**Q: Will the scanner work with an iPhone?**
A: The ES-50 model is only compatible with computers running Windows 7, 8, 10 or Mac OS 10.11 - 10.14 and requires a USB port. You would want to consider the ES-60W, which is the version of the scanner that has wireless connectivity. That can be used with both computers and Android/iOS phones and tablets. - The Epson Scanner Team

**Q: what is the difference between the es-50 and ds-70?**
A: The ES-50 is a retail product and comes with the ScanSmart software for easy document management and optional accounting features. The DS-70 is the commercial version and comes with Document Capture Pro for creating scan jobs that can be run from the scanner's button. - The Epson Scanner Team

**Q: Once you scan a document, can you set it up where the document will it go directly to your drop box?**
A: After you scan the document, there are many options - save, attach to email, send to google drive, dropbox, evernote, one drive, word, excel, powerpoint.  You may need to download another app, but then you login to your account, select a folder, filename and format of jpeg, pdf or searchable pdf. 

One very important thing is to come up with a standard naming format since the software defaults to "document 20190128_001" style of format.  I'm using a "20190128 vendor purpose" format and then filing in a client/function specific folder.  A bit of work on input, but it will be easier to locate later.  I am also starting with current year material and will decide what to scan of past papers after I have a bit of experience on going digital.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Epson ES-50 Portable Scanner
*by D***S on February 13, 2024*

I have scanned almost 2000 photos so far and have at least that to go. All things considered, I could not ask for a better scanner. It was inexpensive, portable, plenty fast and just works. Note: outside of scanning the text on the back of pictures and stitching it to the front, I have not done any text scanning. The stitching option is wonderful. The only 3 issues that I have (I tried to explain my work arounds) and I consider them minor are : 1. You sometimes have to reorient dark photos or use a light background slightly larger than the photo or the scanner will crop out the dark parts. This is understandable since the rollers are black. 2. Very thin high gloss photos have to have constant pressure in and out (manual by pushing and pulling the photo) or the rollers will slip on the picture. Thicker, high gloss photos don't do this. 3. The app needs some work as it appears to be outdated. Won't do some of the features on larger files as it will crash and close. Work around save the file as is and do what you need to do thru a Microsoft or whatever photo editing app. This only happens on really large pictures. I did not have any problems with gray scale or color scanning at the max 1200BPI (once I figured out the app).
