Epson WorkForce ES-550W ADF + Sheet-fed scanner 600 x 600 DPI A4 Black

The Epson WorkForce ES-550W is a compact wireless desktop document scanner built for fast, reliable digitisation of paperwork in home offices and small workgroups. A single-pass duplex auto document feeder captures both sides of a page in one go at up to 45 pages per minute (90 images per minute), while built-in Wi-Fi lets you scan straight to a PC, Mac, smartphone or tablet using Epson ScanSmart and Smart Panel software.

Advantages

Dual Contact Image Sensors (CIS) with an RGB LED light source deliver sharp 600 x 600 dpi optical scans (enhanced up to 1200 dpi) in full colour. A 100-sheet auto document feeder and a 5,000-page daily duty cycle keep larger batches moving, and reliability features such as ultrasonic double-feed detection help prevent missed pages. Cable-free wireless operation and USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity make it easy to place anywhere on the desk.

Suitable for

• Home offices and remote workers digitising contracts, invoices and correspondence
• Small businesses and workgroups building searchable PDF archives
• Scanning mixed media including receipts, business cards and plastic ID cards

Recommendations

An excellent choice where desk space and cabling are limited but high-volume duplex scanning is still required. The combination of a 100-sheet feeder, single-pass two-sided capture and flexible wireless connectivity makes it well suited to paperless workflows in small offices.
