It has ruined important documents.

I like to have a paper backup on really important documents, but you can at least cut down on the number of file cabinets and just lock up a few flashdrives into a burn proof safe

The ES-500W is a full featured and very capable personal and business document scanner and works well for everything from receipts to reports to books and periodicals

Overall, this is a very good document scanner

While I would have kept the scanner because it is an amazing document scanner and helped me digitize about 100 copies of sheet music, multiple notebooks, and other documents, I have to return it because of the issue with photo scanning.

The feeder works nicely with receipts and light weight originals, as well as regular documents

Another issue that the scanner had with document handling is that it can't handle documents with thicker tape or stickers on them them; it thinks that it is being fed two documents and refuses to scan those pages

Very fast document scanner.

I liked the assistance in naming the document if using a sequence of numbers

You are protected from losing important tax documents etc. if there is a fire

It has ruined important documents.

There were less artifacts in poorer quality documents

For example, the scanner has dynamic document skew correction

I needed a reliable document scanner for my tax business and purchased this Epson model based on the good reviews.
