Epson DS-C490 Review & Scanner Driver Download

Epson DS-C490 Review & Scanner Driver Download — Epson DS-C490 is a Compact Workhorse for Busy Offices. Desk space is very valuable in a place where you are handling a lot of documents every day. The Epson DS-C490 finds the balance between a small size and professional speed. By using a vertical paper feed system and a U-turn paper path this sheetfed scanner takes up to 60% less desk space than traditional flatbed or horizontal desktop scanners.

Blazing Fast Performance

Even though it has a size the DS-C490 does not give up on speed or strength for daily use. It uses dual Contact Image Sensors (CIS) to scan both sides of a page in one pass at a 40 ppm / 80 ipm (600 dpi optical resolution). It is made to work in commercial places with a maximum daily duty cycle of up to 4,500 scans per day so big volume tasks can be confident.

Dual-Path Versatility

What makes the DS-C490 very special is the option to switch the paper path mode:

U-Turn Path Mode: This is best for office paper using the most desk space possible while feeding documents through a vertical loop.
Straight Path Mode: Flip the switch to scan materials, thick envelopes, plastic ID cards or even passports and booklets up to 5 mm thick without bending them.

It can handle long documents up to 8.5" x 220" and has an integrated Ultrasonic Sensor to stop double feeding from happening in the first place.

Smart Imaging & Software Integration

Epson added smart imaging features to the DS-C490 like cropping, background removal, dirt detection and edge fold correction. Scanned files can be directly saved as PDFs or Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents. It comes with Epson Document Capture Pro already installed along with TWAIN and ISIS drivers for quick use with almost any enterprise document management system.

Minor Compromises

The 20-sheet Auto Document Feeder (ADF) feels a light for big batch-scanning jobs that have more than 50 pages meaning you have to reload it often during heavy jobs. Considering its small size energy-efficient use (only 1.0W in sleep mode) and 3-year limited warranty it is still a top choice, for todays offices.

Price: Around $329.00, find it here, here, and here.
