Overview
Not a stack feeder or a flatbed, this Epson WorkForce ES-50 is a compact single-sheet scanner that draws power over USB from the connected computer.
Light weight and bus power make it easy to carry between meetings and desks. The limit is the one-sheet feed, which is slow for long documents even though each page is quick.
Who it's for
People who scan receipts, contracts and cards away from the office, and who already carry a laptop, will use it often. Desk users with stacks of paper should pick a feeder model.
Pros and cons
- Lightweight portable body
- Powered over USB
- Accepts extra-long pages and ID cards
- OCR for searchable and editable files
- One sheet at a time
- Warranty terms not given
- Software needs an internet download
Performance notes
A single-sheet path means total time grows with page count. The CIS sensor and LED light source capture the page at the listed resolution. Automatic Feeding Mode combines multi-page scans into one file.
