Epson WorkForce ES-500W II Wireless Color Duplex Desktop Document Scanner

I purchased this scanner to replace a 14 year old ScanSnap which died. I have not used the new scanner very much, as yet, but can offer this info. The scanner was very easy to connect and set up, and does a nice job of scanning. The weak part may be the software, which seems clunkier than the software for the old scanner. The software with the old scanner was more how I wanted it to work. It could be that I just haven’t learned how to make the new software work differently. For now, it seems that I may need to adjust my process to something less efficient.

After setting up and plugging in the scanner, it only took minutes to be able to start right away. Ìt was heavier and larger than I thought, but stores away easily. I really like how it can adjust to any size receipt or document you choose to scan .It’s going to be very useful in getting papers off my desk !

I bought this product a few days ago and it does not work with ARM-based Windows 11 computers. The drivers required for you to use this product will not install on your operating system, and they do not advertise this. I actually found a post by Epson that stated they planned on rolling out software for this specific product in April of 2025. When will this be addressed??

Love this scanner. It scans multiple pages, both sides, super quick. The image quality once the image or document is digitized is perfect! :)

I wish there was an option to scan everything at once and just save them separately. That way we don't have to scan, save, scan, save, scan save, we could just scan, and then save save save save.

Worth the money

I have been using a MFP with auto-document feeder for years. I finally decided to try this and it is great. Simple interface. VERY clear double sided scans. Happy I clicked "buy".

I brought this scanner to scan loan documents and it has exceeded my expectations. The scanner scans fast, the pages are clear, and I love the fact that I can create a pdf and send it to the signing company in a few clicks.

The WorkForce ES-500W II has simplified my home office scanning. The Intuitive Epson ScanSmart Software allows me to preview, email and upload my documents to my cloud account effortlessly. I am not an organizer and this feature along with ability to create searchable PDFs saves me a lot of frustration. The best feature is the Duplex Scan feature. It saves me time by scanning both sides of the documents in one scan. No more re-scanning the same pages. This scanner also has a 50 sheet auto document feeder which frees me from having to sort & load as with my old scanner. I love how quickly this scanner works. Time is money. The size of the scanner is perfect for a home office or small business office. It occupies very little space and has a modern design. For the simplicity of software, the scanner features and the design, I rate it an A+.

The Epson workforce ES-500 Wireless deluxe desktop document scanner is the king of all scanners. Out of the box it’s easy to set up. I love the wireless capability. Now for the scanning. I have scanned all kinds of documents from work documents to greeting cards to pictures and sometimes different cards the picture quality is perfect! The ease of use takes about five minutes after reading the instructions! This will be my go to scanner for all my business and personal use!

There is scanners and then there is a amazing scanners. This scanner is definitely the latter. At about 8 pounds this scanner packs an awesome punch. Through Covid I am needing to work a lot more from home and lack scanning capabilities so had to make a trip to the library or UPS anytime I need scanning. Needless to say this isn’t the most convenient of situations, but better then being in the office. So when this came about I was super excited to give it a try. The size is great for my little makeshift desk area. Scanning is super quick at 35 pages per minute (holding 50 pages), and great quality scans (for an affordable scanner option of its size) and it is wireless. Setup was super simple and easily was compatible it took me about 5 min to fully setup. The duplex scanning capabilities was also a nice extra bonus. This is well worth the amount and perfect for any at home office.

This scanner is great! It produces high-quality scans of different types - I've used it for regular documents, greeting cards, photographs, and even to back up IDs & credit cards. There's a document feeder and a tray to catch the scanned items, both of them fold/slide away when not in use. The software is easy to use and has menus to dig further into the settings to do advanced customization. It can be used wired (with supplied USB-A cable) or wirelessly. I set up the wireless scanning with my phone & my MacBook - both were easy and straightforward. Scanning wirelessly is super-convenient, as it allowed me to keep the scanner on the other side of the room from my computer where I have more space for it. The scanning/transferring speed didn't seem any slower on my network than when it was plugged in directly. All in all, it's a great scanner - very fast, high quality, small footprint. Perfect for my home use-case. This is a review for the Epson DS-500W II Wireless Duplex Document Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

I tried out the Epson WorkForce ES-500W II as part of a beta test. I really didn't expect much until I read what the scanner could do. I was ecstatic that I could perform mobile scanning from my phone. This was extremely helpful when I am not at my desk. The photos and documents I scanned both from the actual scanner and from my Note 10 were crystal clear and quickly uploaded. I even scanned some old WWII aerial photos and the color or lack of. You couldn't tell it was scanned. “This is a review for the Epson ES-500WII Document Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”

I recently got the Epson WorkForce ES-500W II to try out. I was a little worried about the wireless feature but I ended up surprised with how well it worked for me despite being 2 rooms away. I was also very happy to use my Android phone to scan documents. The Android app was simple and easy to work with. Epson outdid themselves by making this scanner mobile phone friendly. “This is a review for the Epson ES-500WII Document Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”

I scan a lot of music, and this scanner does a great job running through multiple pages of sheet music with ease. The quality is also above average, compared to my previous scanner. Documents can be saved as PDFs, which is my preferred format for sending scans to others. It also handles multiple pages sizes well, even in a single scan. One feature that I didn’t even know I needed is the auto duplexing --- it will scan both sides of a page, without having to reload. I didn’t realize how often I did this, until the Epson started taking care of it for me. Photos also scan quite well, with good color reproduction. It’s not designed as a full-time photo scanner though, so keep that in mind. Get a purpose-built photo scanner if that’s your main use. I do have certain circumstances where I need to scan multiple photos into one scan, so my trusty flatbed scanner will be sticking around for that, as well as for any bound books or thick items I need to scan. Setup took a little longer than I thought it should. I had to re-start the install process a couple of times. My WiFi is also fairly locked down, with separate vlans for IoT and work, so there was a bit of tweaking needed to get the printer to talk with my network correctly. Overall, this is a decent scanner for the price, although you may need to keep you flatbed scanner around for certain use cases.

Many scanners come and go in our office but this one is here for good. The ES-500W II is the best scanner our office has seen to date. Super easy to set up and begin use. Plug in, download the software and connect and the scanning begins. My favorite features of this scanner are the front/back page scan, super fast scan with crisp, clean pages and truly wireless technology that does not lose connection or effect the quality. We rely heavily on a quality scanner to create electronic documents for archiving. We have used the scanner with various sizes of paper, receipts, photo's and other documents and never have had a jam. We love that this item can be easily taken to different offices and used with the app to control the functions of the scanner. A truly quality product that provides the best scan.

I have worked with documents for years. The ability for quick setup and use is extremely important. Most of my documents pertain to real estate abstracts. This scanner makes it easy to use and easy to find files needed for a particular work order/abstract. Saving and finding is a breeze. Quick scan up to 50 pages without jams or other issues makes my productivity skyrocket. No bulk, very compact space saving and easy to store if needed. Folds up to use very little space when not in use. Best duplex scanner I have used and looking forward to continuing use. “This is a review for the Epson DS-500W II Wireless Duplex Document Scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”
