It has a built-in 100 sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) that can scan documents ranging in size from 4" x 6" up to 8.5" by 40" long. Users report it can even handle a stack containing different sized documents, and having an ultrasonic double-feed detector means it will instantly stop the scan job if two pages have been fed in together. It can automatically scan both sides of a document at once and with speeds up to 25 ppm (pages per minute)/50 ipm (images per minute) the Epson WorkForce DS-6500 lets you get much more done in the same time. If you need to scan books, magazines or other odd-sized items it also has a flatbed scan table that can scan 8.5" x 11.7" but what is really handy is it has book spine correction which eliminates that distorted edge you normally get when scanning bound materials. Using a 4 line CCD sensor (RGB and black) and scanning at 1200 dpi resolution allows the Epson WorkForce DS-6500 to achieve great color reproduction and crisp, sharp text and images.
The powerful productivity software provided with the Epson WorkForce DS-6500 includes Epson Scan, Epson Event Manager (Mac only), ABBYY FineReader Sprint and ISIS driver (web download). Also provided is Document Capture Pro with Scan to Cloud functionality (Windows only) which has several features of note. It lets you scan directly to popular cloud services like SharePoint, Evernote, Google Docs and so on, plus you can scan to PDF and save scanned documents as PDF, PDF-A or jpeg files etc and you can also create up to 30 user-programmable jobs and save them to be used in conjunction with the scan button. If you need to use the the Epson WorkForce DS-6500 in a team environment the optional network scan module when used in conjunction with Document Capture Pro means you can scan directly to any PC on your local network.
If you need fast 2-sided document imaging, combined with the flexibility of a flatbed, handy software tools and the option of network scanning, without breaking the bank, the Epson WorkForce DS-6500 Color Document Scanner is well worth a look.
