Highly accurate scanning to a single workstation
 |
THE BOTTOM LINE
The Epson DS-530 II sheet-fed document scanner scans well and at a reasonable clip, but its price is a little steep given its shortage of features.
MSRP $399.00

Near the lower end of Epson’s packed stable of business-ready document scanners is the DS-530 II Color Duplex Document Scanner ($399), a replacement for 2016’s DS-530. The hardware is about the same—including the limited connectivity options—but the optical character recognition (OCR) accuracy is much improved, as are the bundled utilities. The DS-530 II is a capable little scanner, but our current entry-level Editors’ Choice pick, the Brother ADS-2700W, is more robust in several ways, and will be a better buy for most shoppers.
