While getting ready for retirement, I was amazed at all the "paper" records I have been keeping "just in case" I may need them in the future. I needed a document scanner than scanned "both sides" of the document and that was wireless capable and had a user-friendly interface. I already use an Epson printer that has been trouble free for years, and began reading the reviews for just the "right one" to help me transition my documents to digital format. I found the Epson Workforce ES-500W was the perfect match for capability, size, weight, capacity, features - that fit my willingness to spend. After setting it up and using it, I HIGHLY ENDORSE this product - it scans easily and quickly, the controls are easily understood, has an option for the rare occasion when a paper document gets jammed (in my case, a folded document) it allows quick and easy access to the document and is easily cleared. I am very satisfied with the ES-500W and enjoy the ability to connect to it wirelessly too. It folds its paper handling mechanism to reduce its footprint on your desk or table, and it permits searching amd editing of documents. You can save to a file as a .pdf or Microsoft file with other options available. Very easy to use with a well thought-out user interface. I have been happily scanning away piles of paper into digital form to either a CD/DVD or external hdd/ssd. Great work, EPSON - WELL DONE!
