WorkForce ES-50 Portable Sheet-Fed Document Scanner for PC and Mac

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.

This scanner is 10.5x1.0x1.5 and it does exactly what it says it does. Most of my scanning is legal size, so this is the best scanner for me. I already have an Epson4800 printer that is under 2 years old and the rollers went bad and crumpled and the placed a blick line down the center that no amount of cleaning could fix. I needed a self feed scanner. This was the best bet. Very simple to install to a USB port and has an on button and a scan button. When your in the software choose ADP (for feed scan) and check the add/save box for multiple scans to one document file (of your choice), when done then click save. You can save to many file extensions like pdf or jpeg. I even installed a little shelf on the wall to hold it when not in use. The rollers are of good quality, just wait to feed a second sheet until the first drops all the out. Also Totally portable. This is one of the better Epson products.

I read the other reviews and decided to give it a shot myself, and I'm very thankful I did, it is very convenient to use and to carry around in laptop bag, it scans pretty fast and works well with scanning sports cards into computer for grading. Have had zero issues with the app or the scanner, it is worth every penny spent, I highly recommend this scanner to anyone who wants a fast great scanner. works with my MacBook and my Dell.

I bought two of these for a medical practice and as long as the scanner is powered up it works very well. But if the device goes to sleep, the device May no longer be available because it disappears in the hardware list. Once that happens it could be several hours before it reappears. I called Epson support and they told me that the scan to utility does not have the capability of turning the sleep mode off. The WIA driver stops working in Windows 10 and 11 even though it says the WIA service is running. Disabling the WIA driver completely disables the device. The device will not run solely on Twain. Keep that in mind before you buy this device. When it does work it does a fine job of scanning medical IDs and DL's.

I got this Epson 50 scanner today, plugged it in, downloaded the drivers, and scanned a legal sized document that I can't scan on my old flatbed. Start to finish, the whole process was easy, peasy. It scans fast, and both color and black & white docs are crisp. The software interface opens on screen when you hit the scan button, stays open until you save your doc, and then quietly disappears on its own. I love it. I scanned a thick driver license that went through the scanner like deli meat through a slicer. So nice. Picture quality? Perfect. The scanner is compatible with my Win 11 Pro. It has a tiny footprint and plays nice with other devices, so I'm able to leave it tucked away behind the monitor on my desk for easy access. One of the best all-around-value purchases I've made in quite some time.

The quality is great but none of my photos that I feed into the scanner come out right. All photos are cropped heavily and it's different every time I rescan it. The photo is flat and not at an angle but half the time the result is heavily cropped with the image being diagonal. I have followed everything support told me which wasn't helpful because it was telling me to use settings that was suppose to fix this issue but those settings wouldn't be there or were already set. I would set the document size to the size of the photo I'm scanning and it would still crop half of it. This is not worth what it's asking and I will never buy this again. This is suppose to make scan documents and photos easy and quick and all it does is crop them in half.

This small scanner works great out of the box after installing the driver/application. It is fast and does a great job. Better than a flat bed scanner because I can do legal size documents in one scan. The software is also great compared to others I've used. Easy to create a pdf.

Ich habe den direkten Weg zum PC und alles schnell abgelegt

Parece um brinquedinho, mas é uma ferramenta poderosa. Uma dica, a PRIMEIRA vez que usarem, façam a calibragem com o papel enviado "CALIBRATION SHEET" depois é só alegria, Excelente digitalização, excelente custo beneficio. Super Indico.

I loved this product when it arrived, but only used it a few times and it just stopped working, despite trying new connections, multiple computers. Instructions say to attach USB directly to computer - my MAC OS laptop doesn't have a USB port. Big disappointment. Makes me hesitant to order a replacement.

I highly recommend 👌

Works as expected. Software is great. Very light and portable.
