Epson WorkForce ES-500WII Sheet-fed scanner 600 x 600 DPI A4 Black

The WorkForce ES-500WII is a high-speed A4 scanner with automatic duplexing and a 50-sheet automatic document feeder. It connects via USB 3.0 or wirelessly, allowing scanning from PCs, Macs, smartphones and tablets to local folders, cloud accounts or email.

Wireless connectivity and Epson ScanSmart and Epson Smart Panel support allow scanning directly to network folders, cloud storage or mobile devices.
