If you need a scanner for a midsize office or large workgroup, put the Epson WorkForce DS-860 ($1,099) on your must-see list. In addition to its fast speed-rated at 65 pages per minute (ppm), or 130 images per minute (ipm) for duplex (two-sided) scans, with one image on each side of the page-the...

I purchased this scanner to convert my CPA practice to a paperless office. I wanted high speed, double side, and easy to use. So far I am loving this scanner. Super fast, great scans, and easy to use. I would like to see a faster way to save as named files but what is provided still works well.

Epson's advertising is deceptive. The picture shows a long sheet of paper fed in sideways, implying it can take an 11"x14" sized sheet of paper. The description even says it can take a 11"x17" folded sheet of paper. I naively thought it would unfold the sheet as it scanned, saving time.

It's the best whatever I ever used

The Epson WorkForce DS-860 document scanner is a heavy duty scanner suited for any busy workplace. With a daily duty cycle of up to 6,000 sheets it can handle multiple users in a busy office with ease.

Recent purchase. Very happy with the speed and process in which documents are scanned and sorted. The only thing better would have been wireless connectivity

Installation was simple, not a hassle at all.

I bought this scanner a couple of months ago and I can honestly say it is the best bit of kit I have ever bought. So quick, reduces the file size down to a ridiculously low size and rarely gets jammed. Wish I'd bought one years ago.

Fantastic. V fast!

If you need a scanner for a midsize office or large workgroup, put the Epson WorkForce DS-860 ($1,099) on your must-see list. In addition to its fast speed—rated at 65 pages per minute (ppm), or 130 images per minute (ipm) for duplex (two-sided) scans, with one image on each side of the page—the DS-860 ($1,249.99 at Amazon) offers an 80-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF), a capable scan utility, and excellent text recognition accuracy. The combination makes it our new Editors' Choice for moderate to heavy-duty scanning in a midsize office. The DS-860 offers mostly incremental advantages over the Xerox DocuMate 5460 ( at Amazon) , which is the scanner it replaces as our preferred choice. Its rated speed is only 5ppm faster, for example, and its ADF holds only five additional pages. The key difference is that its daily duty cycle is 6,000 sheets, rather than the Xerox 5460's 4,000, making it appropriate for heavier duty-use. That's just enough of an extra to give the DS-860 a sl...
