Epson DS-530 Document Scanner: 35ppm, TWAIN & ISIS Drivers

BIG DEAL!! I came from a ScanNap fi-5110EOX2 a Fujitsu and I loved it! It was a work horse for more than 10 years. Finally got tired of 'duck taping' the software and spending time to get it to run on Win 10. Wish they would just through out a driver to keep up with the OS, but then they would get you to buy a new unit. So my reference for this review is Fujitsu standard of quality. Epson DS-530 was my choice after much research. It was this unit or the Fujitsu FI-7030 Desktop Scanner at $700. Both have TWAIN drivers and I wanted to go paperless with OneNote! (and future proof it a bit) I went with Epson due to it being half the price, but has gotten some really good reviews. This model is their newest and a bit of an upgrade to the DS-520. I don't need or want the WiFi option, so the DS-530 seemed perfect with all of the features of the Fujitsu. First Impression: WOW, it is super-fast compared to my 10yr old Fujitsu and the software compatibility is Great! I decided to do a clean install of Windows 10, since I had originally did the free upgrade from win 7. Glad I did for many reasons, but wanted to make sure I started fresh and bypass any conflicts due to tweaking OS for unsupported Fujitsu. So far it is running great and really happy with purchase. Someone reviewed it and commented that the slider for the paper holders moved like butter, and they were right. It is easy to load scanner with paper, then move the guides tight on the paper with just one hand. will follow up with any issues I encounter or cool features I discover along the way. If you don't see an update, then the Scanner is perfect and working so well you forget about it as it becomes seamless to your work process. Update 12/26/16 Scanning crazy amounts of paperwork, mixing in receipts, and weird shaped papers. So far not a single miss-feed, double feed, or issues with not scanning anything I through at. WHAT I REALLY LIKE is the Document Capture Pro software. It is a great tool for feeding scanned documents to different software systems. I love OneNote, Capture Pro makes it easy to scan directly into the software and organizing it later. Still a 5 Star product. Update 3/18/17 Still Rock solid, even after 'I' screwed up a Bios update. I need to redo the update, but the Scanner is still working, even with my goof. Still really happy with unit. Keep lid closed when not using, and hope this will keep it in good condition for the long haul. Update 5/1/17 Still rock solid, but the updated version of Document Scanner Pro is not great. I uninstalled and reinstalled vs. 1.17.12 as I liked how it looked better than the new version. Epson hasn't released any update on what has changed and all of their online 'help' guides are still showing 1.17.12, and not the updated version 2.00.01. Easy change and calling tech support with questions was high quality on top of getting back to preferred software. still 5 stars. Update 9/19/2018 - Work Horse, no issues. Only 'thing' is that the software wants to update to a completely new version. Good, but no instructions or guides on how to use the new version of the software. I uninstalled new and went back to the old version. Still, not an issue and they might have better training on the new version of the software that does more. Still like old software so decline monthly prompting to update.

I very much wanted the Fujitsu fi-7130 or fi-7160, but the cost was prohibitive. In stepped Epson with an affordable (1/5th'ish the cost of a new scanner) solution. I will one day have my Office Space moment with my Samsung all-in-one #@$^ing pos printer, but for now my Epson DS-530 has stayed the execution; a job I thought only Fujitsu could do. Most folks may not consider this a fair price at over $300, but after using that flippin' Samsung for 2 years I willingly coughed up the clams. Set up was a breeze, even though I did Exactly what the instructions told me Not to do (plugged it in to the USB before installing the Epson drivers). I uninstalled the Windows driver and started over, this time following instructions, and voila! Fujitsu still has the upper hand in software with their ScandAll Pro program; however, again, price left an incredibly large gap. I've been able to scan credit cards, checks, driver's licenses, duplex, images, etc . . . with no issues. The image stitching feature is highly useful for checks and cards - it puts the front and back images together into one document or image, and allows the user to determine side-by-side or top and bottom. Scan profiles can be set up so users don't have to constantly change settings. Users will be able to email directly from the scanner, though the document cannot be altered, nor can the email body be modified, after scanning. A pre-written body and subject can be set up in the profile, though, to skip repetitive typing. The email address book will pull from Outlook, I think. I may have had to export my contacts from Outlook and import them to Document Capture Pro. Either way, it was easy. Scan profiles can be set up to save the scans into certain folders and with names of the user's (or admin's) choosing. Date, date and time, and iterative numbers up to 5 digits in length can be appended to the file name. There's a barcode character option as well as OCR recognition for those who have scans with information in the same place every time. Mine are all over the place so I don't get to play with those options. Receipts and other thin paper is simple to scan. There's a button on the scanner that gets pushed that slows the scan speed down. Push it again to speed things up. Speed is great - I get nice looking scans at 300 dpi and it's quick. I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard and thus far it integrates nicely with the DS-530. All-in-all I'm happy with it and I am only more critical of the software because I used to use ScandAll Pro, which is a quite well-written bit of software which has more features than the average user will ever need. I'm no power user, but I do dig tweaking settings and making life easier with features like skip blank pages, auto skew, hole punch fill in, edge fill in, etc . . . and ScandAll Pro is like a playground to me. 20180813: Update: I'm still pleased with this scanner. I have the occasional hiccup where I have to turn it off then back on. I haven't had to restart my computer to fix issues, only the machine, so that's a big bonus. It's truckin' right along. For half the price I have a scanner that works just as well as the Fujitsu scanner I wanted. The only regret I have is not purchasing the wi-fi model to free up a USB port. Again, it's a minor issue for our home office as we can easily hop onto each others' computers. I did get to experiment with the OCR recognition and have to admit it needs some help. I have a document that has a job number typed in the same area each time and none of the OCR settings are able to read it correctly. The field is alpha numeric and I think that trips up the OCR. It works a little bit better on a different document that has only numbers, but definitely not well enough to call it reliable. Perhaps in a future update. Fortunately it is possible to review and retype the results and save that as the file name. The process is a bit clunky, but it gets the job done. I also found the auto-rotate feature and that's been a time saver. I also have a one-button default scan profile that works for the majority of my scans; however, if I go to the taskbar and right-click on the scanner I can use one of my other scan profiles. That is to say - using other scan options is quite easy and convenient. All-in-all, after ~4 months use, I'm satisfied with my purchase, and I would make the same choice if I had a "do-over."

Buena velocidad, digitalizamos pólizas contables y su resguardo

以前 CANON DR-2510を使用していましたがスキャン流れ方向のノイズがひどくなり、DS-530を購入しました。 そのレビューを行いたいと思います。 なお、使用目的の主は漫画、写真集等の自炊用のスキャナとしての使用です。 購入２日目、1000枚ほど取り込みしたうえでの感想です。 〇スキャンソフトウェア EPSON Document Capture Pro ですが、目的がはっきり決まっていれば可もなく不可もなくです。 ・気になる点）保存形式をJEPGにした場合でもスキャンのジョブが終わらないと対象フォルダに画像ファイルが吐き出されません。またスキャン途中での読み取り画像の確認ができないので、大量枚数をスキャンした場合にノイズが途中から入ったりすると、確認後やりなおす必要があります。 ・JEPGで保存する場合フィル名は日付、PC名、時刻等+連番という形になります。２回に分けてスキャンした場合など、前回50ページまでスキャン・付番されたが、次のスキャンで51番から付番はされません。（Canonでは通番で振られました） ・ドライバの設定項目が詳細にあり、同一条件で複数のジョブ（用紙のサイズ違い、カラー/モノクロ）を作成しようとしたとき、まごつきました。用紙サイズ / 解像度 / ドロップアウトカラー・ガンマ 等の設定をそれぞれ保存でき、かつ組み合わせて一つのスキャン設定ができるようになればうれしいです。現在はすべてをまとめてのお気に入り設定となり、一度作ったものを修正することはできず、再度設定画面から作っていく必要があります。（ひな形の設定を作っておき、それを複製する方法で一貫性を持たせられると思います） 〇ドライバー ・スキャンの条件を吐き出しできます。PCのバックアップや、障害時の復元に使用できると思います。 ・DR-2510の場合、400DPIでもモノクロは限界速度でスキャンしていましたが、DS-530では300DPI以上では速度が遅くなります。 ・規定でのスキャンの色合いが「見栄えの良い」色見になるようです。ガンマ、コントラストは好みで控えめにしたほうが良いと思います（スキャン一発でPDFにするにはよいですが、素材として加工するには、色見が加工されすぎていると思います）。 ・カラーの色見が比較的きれいな階調で表現される。人肌などの写真の場合300DPI程度だと粒子感はありますが、600dpiで取り込み、その後イメージソフト等で300dpiに変換した場合、比較的きれいに表現できます。 〇機械本体 ・スキャン開始まで一呼吸待たされますが、その後のスキャンは解像度等に合わせ性能を発揮します。（200～300dpiなら限界性能速度でスキャンします、400dpi以上だと遅めの速度になります） 良い点） ・紙送り、重送防止のローラーが非常に優秀です。写真集などの紙を取り込んだ場合、CANONでは紙の表面のコート剤（？）に影響され、紙送りが滑ることがままあり、単ページ送りでスキャンをしていました。DS-530では同様の原稿でもずれなく用紙が送れかつ、重送もありません（まだ500枚程度での使用感です）。 ・本体の給紙トレイ、および原稿ガイドの作りがしっかりとしています（特に原稿ガイドは仕組みはわかりませんが、一度幅を決めるとその位置に軽く固定されるようです、スキャン途中でバラけるようなことはありません） ・本体正面の「低速モードボタン」について、カラー原稿を丁寧に取り込みたい・薄手の原稿など...使いでのあるボタンです。 ・排紙トレイの引き出しもサイズに合わせ十分に機能します（購入当初はプラスチック特有の軋みがありますので、シリコンスプレーなどを微量吹きかけると使いやすくなります。） ・ガラス面のメンテナンスもしやすいと思います。 現在までADF搭載タイプのスキャナはCANON DRシリーズ、そして今回のEPSON DSしか使用していませんが.... Canon DR-2510C 優位：ユーティリティソフト・ドライバがシンプルで分かりやすい。 スキャン途中の状況が見える（ノイズがのった場合、その場でストップできる 不利：原稿によって原稿送りが滑る場面がある。 Epson 優位：ユーティリティソフト・ドライバについて細かいところまで設定できる。 カラーの画質が比較的良い（高解像度の場合）。 原稿送り、重送防止の確実性が高い。 不利：スキャン途中の状況が見えない（ノイズが乗ってしまった場合、最後にしかわからない）。

Me gusto mucho cumple con lo publicado
