Review Text: Awesome little scanner. I was quite surprised when I opened the box and found this very small form factor Epson ES-865 scanner and rightfully so since having a scanner that doesn't take up a ton of desk space is really awesome. Once opened it came with everything needed to get started quickly. In the box were the scanner, power block, printer cable, and quick start guide. It took me about five minutes to set up and start the software install. Once the software was installed I tested the scanner and it's so quick that if you are not looking you will miss the quickness in which is scans. Once I scanned I checked out the quality of the scans and I will say it is superb in capturing the document in the true form right out the box at 200 DPI. You can of course change your DPI and other settings in the app to get better quality of scans to your liking but I was happy with the standard settings. The application itself is good but the issue is that there are two different scanning apps under the Epson folder for this device, Scan Smart for when you hit the scan button on the scanner, and Scan 2 from the OS for scanning. I find that Scan 2 gives you more option before scanning to choose what your scanning. Other than that they are easy to use and not to complicated. Would I recommend this scanner to people? Yes, I would since this is the fastest, and smallest scanner I have used in a long time for home use, and the ease of use and quality makes it a great option for people who scan a lot or for a home-based business. I have seen smaller scanners with clients in the IT field but are usually not this fast or the image quality is ok at best. This is a review for the Epson WorkForce ES-865 Color Duplex Document scanner that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.
