DS-1630

Very easy to set up and produces good quality scans. Fast delivery and well packaged.

The 5 * is for the scanner which is excellent - recommended. However, over an hour of my time was wasted because … 1) There was no disc. Searched for it. Could not find. Eventually I saw it did not actually come with one, despite instructions showing it should. 2) As no disc, have to download. Did download. Scanner would not connect. Spent ages on this. Tried different laptop. Then back to first laptop. Until I noticed that the model cited in the instructions for the download is different to the one in the box. 45 mins of hassle for nothing. Put correct model in. All sorted quickly. So 5* for the scanner. 1* for the instructions. Pity as it ruined what would have been a good experience. Why do companies do this? They should know better nowadays than to give useless time wasting instructions !

Followed the advice of earlier reviews and ignored the worthless instructions and CD that came with the scanner and just went straight to the Epson website and downloaded the MAC 'document capture' software and drivers. Easily installed in 10 mins and up and running within 20 mins of opening box. With the right software settings it scans from the sheet feeder and outputs to my Brother WiFi printer so works effectively as a small volume photocopier. Document naming needs a bit of care but once done works with no issues. Good quality scans too. Overall a great scanner thank you Epson.

This is really quite fast using the ADF, and thankfully Epson themselves have provided drivers and software for us Linux users. No external PSU required as uses standard C7 lead. Very pleased.

As mentioned by another reviewer, this Epson scanner is quite a challenge to install if you are a Mac user. What I assumed would be a simple plug & play installation took me hours to complete. This involved the use of the Terminal app, and much online research to find the workarounds. Long story short, getting the Mac OS to "see" the scanner seemed to be the main problem all round. MacOS Mojave 10.14.3 does not support this Epson product, according to both Apple and Epson websites, so the set-up problems seem to be inevitable. My scanner interfaces are now via Epson's own Scan 2 interface, Image Capture and Adobe PSE13. All that aside, the DS-1630 is fast and the top-sided paper feed is snappy. Now it's running, it's fine and looking to be a good purchase.

Just the way it was described. Very good.

Took a little effort to get set up correctly using the drivers downloaded from Epson. Once set up it is very easy to use and the auto document feed for standard A4 documents works well, with even larger stacks of two sided documents scanned quickly and smoothly. Have not tried it with other document sizes. Very lightweight so easy to move around and with a small footprint.

This replaces a HP Scanjet Pro 3500 f1 which failed just before it was a year old with a defective scan head. The warranty replacement failed after a year too. The Epson has a superior document feed and smaller footprint. Scan quality is very good. The control software follows the Epson family look-&-feel, where I think some of the setting selection dialogue boxes use smaller character size than necessary. I've experienced one misfeed in three weeks use and few slightly skewed pages. Impressed so far.

Does multiple pages and back to back. Makes scanning docs a breeze

It's a very good device; Epson delivers on its promises.

This scanner works flawlessly! the automatic feeder is blazing fast! it works with MacOS with zero problems!! Highly recommended!

Lot of noise poor quality scanning

So far working perfectly
