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.

workforce gt 1500 scanner

By Anonymous

from Marlyland

Comments about Epson WorkForce GT-1500 Sheetfed Scanner:

Initially I have to point out that the quick set up instructions have a glaring error. They say not to attach the scanner to the computer via usb cable a second time, when in fact that is when it should be attached. It does not come with any decent instructions at all and does not mention that you can go to the website to get instructions ( which I did) . The help instructions from the software included are definitely poor. Finally, after spending hours working with it. I got it to do what I want. The machine is good so far. I am computer savy and found the experience to be not user friendly. If it keeps working without breaking down, I would recommend it. Otherwise, find something more user friendly. Nick

First impression of Epson GT-1500

By sdn

from Murray, Utah

Comments about Epson WorkForce GT-1500 Sheetfed Scanner:

I like the speed and the ADF doesn't jam easily. Setup was easy and since I already had PaperPort 11 I was glad it gave me a chance to avoid overwriting it. One frustration is that after a single sheet is scanned and in the output hopper, it's difficult to remove the sheet without wrinkling it. A couple of undulations that would allow a fingertip to access the sheet would be nice.

Is a Beast of a Machine!

By Sinfullysweet

from Royston, GA

Comments about Epson WorkForce GT-1500 Sheetfed Scanner:

I use it primarily for keeping a digital record of all my bank files, statements, financial records, and records of my children. I have absolutely no issues with this scanner. It does what it needs to do, is quick and accurate. I have used other scanners before, but the ADF is what sold me on this product. I would highly recommend this product to my friends.

Why Did Buy This?

By PastorG

from North Texas

Comments about Epson WorkForce GT-1500 Sheetfed Scanner:

Epson is a great product, for the most part. However, I should have researched this product much more prior to purchasing it. The overal look of the product is good, but the operation is extremely slow. There is no duplex capability, and the various pieces of software that came with the package are not up to par with today's offerings. I am not pleased with the product, and cannot recommend it to anyone. PLEASE research fully prior to purchasing anything.

Excellent scanner

By Joanna

from San Francisco

Comments about Epson WorkForce GT-1500 Sheetfed Scanner:

Great price! The directions to setup are easy to follow and setup process is straightforward. The scanner works perfectly. The supporting software is easy to use and settings, such as resolution, are easy to access and change as needed. The document feeder works perfectly. Items such as pages from a bound book or small pictures can be scanned easily directly on the document table, a feature I use a lot.

Good & Fast scanning with abundant software

By DAH30

from USA

Comments about Epson WorkForce GT-1500 Sheetfed Scanner:

First day I scanned about 15 groups of documents. Seemed fast enough and a nice group of software came with the disk. Loved the add a page feature so individual pages can be kept as one document or pdf. Have not used the buttons on the front yet but there are more than an adequate number for specific taks.
