Versatile & user friendly
- June 17, 2019The whole process from start to finish was very user friendly; you just connect it to the computer & go to the website listed in the user guide to download & install the drivers & utility package. From opening the box to actually using the scanner was about 5 minutes, the longest part was installing the software but that's just a waiting game. In the box was a cleaning sheet & calibration sheet which will be so useful in the future once I put more miles on it. I love how many options you have for what to do with a scan once it's complete, it can be saved to your computer like anything else or you can attach it to an email, print, save to places like Word, or send it to Dropbox & other locations. Navigating through the settings did take some getting used to as it would with any new device but once I took a few minutes to explore what everything did, I was scanning work documents, photos & miscellaneous notes in no time. You can change the resolution anywhere from 75 to 1200 dpi. The higher the resolution, the faster it took to load after scanning something in but surprisingly no matter what resolution, it seemed to scan equally fast. My favorite part about the scanner is not having to deal with the hassle of cropping an image after you scan it, if you scan something like a business card, it crops it automatically! I know that's been a for a while now but the quality is better than it used to be, it's more accurate. Scanners have come a longer way since they first came out, this one is very compact & sleek & is so lightweight an 8 ounce bottle of water is probably heavier. This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-50 Portable Document Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

Excellent scanner!!
- June 15, 2019[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just received my scanner about a week ago. I haven't used this kind of scanner before. I have only used the big office kind that are a little more confusing. Once I received my scanner in the mail it only took a few minutes to set up and start scanning. The packaging was great and the scanner was secure during delivery. It came with all the information I needed and the powering cord. I hooked the scanner to my laptop first. It was super easy and only took a few minutes to start scanning. I first tried scanning normal paper. It worked perfect. Second I tried out pictures. I was very surprised on how great it worked. The pictures saved to my laptop so nicely. The third thing I wanted to check was scanning license and credit cards. To my surprise it scanned them as good as the rest. This scanner is going to make my job so much easier. It's small and portable. I will be able to put it right in my work bag and take it to the office with me. It's so slim and won't take up any room at all. I'm very happy with this scanner. I already told co-workers about it.This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-50 Portable Document Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”

Great little scanner!!!
- June 15, 2019[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since this was my first time setting up a scanner, I was a little nervous. The directions were extremely clear and walked me through each step. Did I mention there were only 3 simple steps to follow!!!! Installing the software was quick and I had no problems getting this scanner ready to go. I love the compact size - no more taking up room with a large printer/scanner combo that you don't need. Insert first test page.............success!!!!! I work from home a lot of the time and having this is a game changer for me. Scanning is quick and results in a clear image. The scanner can take a variety of paper sizes, including receipts. Without any hesitation I would highly recommend this for your office and/or personal scanning needs.

PORTABLE, SCANS, & WORKS WITH MAC!
- June 7, 2022[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have zero complaints and the shipping was fast! It was only 100 dollars. I haven't had an issue so far! I'd recommend it. Also, the papers it scans go straight to my mac. So, if you're worried it's not compatible with you're mac don't be! Plus it's portable and light weight.

Portable and slim
- December 24, 2018[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This portable scanner is great for people on the go or are just looking for something with a small footprint. Setup is quick once you download the Epson software. You can scan receipts, business cards, and documents with just a push of a button. The biggest quirk is with the Epson software. The scanner claims to be able to scan up to 600 dpi, however the software keeps complaining that with any dpi greater than 300, the file size will be too large for the format and will not let you scan. Using other software, you can get past the dpi limit. Not the scanner's fault. I have an all in one copier/fax/scanner and I find myself using this EPSON ES-50 much more frequently because I can take it where ever I want.

Excellent product
- August 20, 2019I really liked how this epson workforce ES-50 works, it is an excellent document scanner, lightweight, portable, fast and very effective. It doesn't take a big scaner to work and do the job well like this scaner that is small but I like it because it can be stored anywhere !! The configuration of the scanner is very easy, you just have to connect the scanner to the computer with the USB cable, download the software, and connect to the internet or if it is used on the cell phone, you just download the application and you have to be both connected to the same wireless network and go! I really liked this scanner is super practical, excellent quality, durable and can be taken anywhere and can even be used at home and at work, it is a very good size that can even fit in my bag! it's very fast!! In addition when you scan an image or a document you can see and save it on your hard drive or in the Dropbox !! In addition you can improve the color, the brightness and contrast are also adjusted.I highly recommend this scanner for anyone needing a portable scanner to quickly and reliably scan receipts, photographs or other documents. I like it because I can do all my work very fast and it helps me save time!

I Can't Express This Enough, YOU NEED THIS!
- June 21, 2019This Epson WorkForce ES-50 Portable Scanner is a game changer. I easily unboxed and had this scanner set up within a few minutes. This Epson is amazing compared to my previous scanner which was a hassle. I simply went to the site (link posted below for those that need help with downloading), downloaded the drivers, registered my device, and it was ready for use. All I have to do now is plug in, than put whichever document needed scanning and within a press of a button it's done. It will auto pop up on my laptop that it is scanning. It has many options as shown in my video below with more details. The size is fantastic, it's sleek, and durable feeling. This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-50 Portable Document Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review but ALL opinions are my own and honest.
