I really love this scanner!! It has made my life so much easier. I have always used my all-in-one unit to scan occasional documents and photos, but all of a sudden I found myself with alot of documents that I needed to scan (and quite a few are legal-sized -- its ADF easliy scans legal-sized docs). I started looking online and reading reviews from CNET, PC Magazine, etc to see if I could find an affordable scanner that would easily do what I wanted done. This scanner was one of my final 2 options, and when I was able to find it locally, I bought it. It was extremely easy to set up and install. After I started using it, I began to wish that I had bought it sooner --- instead of always struggling with my all-in-one's scanner. Some of the docs that I'm scanning are very old and their print is almost unreadable. This scanner is able to make them readable again, and saved for future generations. You can scan docs as pdfs and jpegs, in black and white or color. You can easliy change the scanner's settings for the size of the docs you are scanning, the scanning features you want to use, and a doc's title. THIS IS A GREAT SCANNER --- easy to use, with lots of features/options at an affordable price. I just wish that I had bought it sooner. I'm looking forward to when I have the time to use this scanner to scan all of my old phots into my computer. I've already scanned in a few photos, just to see if they would scan as well the docs that I'm in the process of scanning did. They did!!

I do a lot of music restoration. I scan the music, repair and clean it up (using Photoshop), re-size the images so they are consistent, and combine into a PDF for archive purposes. I used an "All-in-1" scanner for about 3 years. While it gave good scans, "All-in-1" generally means it doesn't do it all well. As office space was at a premium, I looked for a dedicated sheet-fed scanner. As Epson had a good reputation among photographers, I went over budget and purchased the GT-1500. First, the scanner - Best scans I've seen in a long time. No fringing, consistent illumination, excellent sharpness, and quick, both with the flatbed and the document feeder. It takes up less space, yet doesn't feel cheaply made. Now, to the software - I was intrigued by the 3 levels of options available, until I used them. Why do you need 3 levels, when a "Basic" and "Advanced" would work just as well and be less confusing to the first-timer? Why was there no option for duplex scanning? I know it is hidden in the final steps of converting to PDF, but I don't want to collate them till I have finished cleaning them up, then I use Acrobat to assemble them. With this software, I scan the odd pages, re-name with an 'A' suffix, then scan the even pages, re-number them in reverse order and add a 'B' suffix so they will be in the proper order. The All-in-1 machines have this built in. Shouldn't a dedicated "Office / Professional" scanner have this? There is a bug in the software that does not size the scans properly. For a project I bought the scanner for, each page was exactly the same size and the musical staff was 10.8" long for each page. While cleaning up the images, I noticed that on some pages the staff was only 9.5" inches long and 1 page had staves 8.2" long. I checked the originals and all were 10.8". In 140 pages scanned, 10 were smaller that the rest. The software was set for a 100% target image size. If accuracy of a scan is critical (especially regarding size), then this could be a serious issue. I have an automated process to resize the images to the same size, so it is not that big a deal. FOR ME. All in all, I like the quality of the scans, but for the money spent, I would expect Office and Professional grade software.

EPSON WORKFORCE GT-1500 DOCUMENT SCANNER

By SIRENIA

from NORTH CAROLINA

Comments about Epson WorkForce GT-1500 Sheetfed Scanner:

I really love this scanner! I have just begun using it recently. "The Programming" can be somewhat confusing at first. However, I have resorted to using the "Manual" on line which has been a HUGE help! I am still playing around with the different features but so far I am very pleased. I looked for a Scanner of this type for months and finally decided "This Scanner" would serve my needs the best; over and above all of the "Other Scanners" I looked at and researched! For me, this was definitely a good investment and well worth the cost! Epson products have proven to me to be Reliable, Durable, and very well made with Highest Quality in mind!" I would definitely recommend â€œThis Scannerâ€� to anyone who is looking for one. It offers Organization, which is A Plus to me, as well as so many other Features (ALL-IN-ONE) Product! You are able to (SCAN) to attach an e-mail to be sent. (SCAN) to PFD Formatted Documents. (SCAN) to Copy, SCAN IMAGES/PICTURES which is a Huge Plus! Also, you are capable of using ANY SIZE YOU NEED for any Project you may want or have a need to create! To find a Product that offers so many functions and the capabilities it is able to be used for is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE and WONDERFUL to own! This in one product that you can definitely use FOR WORK , PLEASURE, CREATIVITY, ORGANIZATION, and can even make WORK and PROJECTS a whole lot more enjoyable!

Epson WorkForce GT-1500 Document Scanner

By Buffalo Bill

from Staten Island, NY

Comments about Epson WorkForce GT-1500 Sheetfed Scanner:

I bought this scanner because I had stacks of documents to scan in. It made scanning them in a breeze. Setting up separate folders to scan to is very simple. I love it - image quality is excellent. Black and white or color images scan perfectly. It is the best document scanner I have ever owned.

A good buy

By ob

from Chestnut Hill MA

Comments about Epson WorkForce GT-1500 Sheetfed Scanner:

Contrary to those who complain about the "interface" on this machine., I have found it easy to use for the simple tasks that I need (scanning documents and pencil sketches). The only complaint that I have is that the default settings are for photographs and /or slides and so wind up in the "Picture" file on my Mac. and have the suffix .jpeg attached. Thus they usually exceed the capacity of my email server. Once I figured this out and attached the suffix .pdf everything worked fine and the scanned documents were attached to an email or word document.

Comments about Epson WorkForce GT-1500 Sheetfed Scanner:

My biggest complaint is that the "efficiency" of scanning is limited by having to rename all of the documents that I scan in, since numbers are meaningless for looking up later. I have not done anywhere as much as I had anticipated by now. I have also been told that in terms of long term storage of important documents, the software may change to the point of making these unreadable by the time they are needed. So, can I really throw out the originals? It was purchased to reduce storage of paperwork and seldom accessed documents.

Enormous increase in productivity

By Jache

from New York, NY

Comments about Epson WorkForce GT-1500 Sheetfed Scanner:

I have had one Epson scanner after another over many years and have gotten better and better results as features have been improved and added. I can now move easily between Twain (automatic document feed) and WIA (platen), which means a lot less tweaking with challenging jobs. I began to create my first pdf manual with the aid of this unit and the results went without a hitch. Although I don't know the full story behind it, and I want to, the higher definition scans result in better OCR results. Picture scans are better than earlier and have been better than I expected. This unit is by my side and in constant use.

Comments about Epson WorkForce GT-1500 Sheetfed Scanner:

I love the simple nice scanner but unless I have missed something.. I have to turn it off in order to get it to scan and I have to press the scan button twice.. and then sometimes it doesnt scan and I turn it off again. But that could be my problem.
