Going even further, Epson has also implemented a security solution where an NFC card reader can be attached that identifies the person scanning, and encrypts the data as it travels over the network using an authentication server. Critically, it can do more than one of these things, so sending it to a local server and cloud storage can be made a pre-defined mode Once there, images can be scanned directly to a USB storage device with no computer required.īut this scanner is built for more elaborate workflows where the scanning is sent to an FTP server, emailed, directed to the Cloud, or a nearby PC. The DS-790WN has numerous document pathways designed to interface to specific workflows that companies typically deploy for scanned documents.Īt the simplest level, the DS-790WN could easily be taken to a remote location, maybe a company that needs to capture a document repository before its binned. It’s also about directing those documents to the right place for them. The workflow of document imaging is about converting paper documents into a digital resource that others can view or reproduce without any concern that the original might get damaged or lost. Software: Epson Scan2 (TWAIN), SANE (Linux), WIA (Windows), ICA (Mac), ISIS (Windows) Images per minute: 90 b&W, 90 Colour (300 dpi double-sided) Pages per minute: 45 B&W, 45 Colour (300 dpi single-sided) It needed to be on the front of the machine, and for whatever reason, the Epson engineers didn’t consider that. The only silly mistake we noticed in the design of the DS-790WN is that the USB Type-A port that you might use to scan directly to a storage device is located at the rear, alongside the LAN port and USB Type-B port, where it isn’t easily accessible. But it’s markedly quicker than cheaper scanners from all these brands. The scanning speed of 45 pages per minute or 90 images isn’t the fastest available, being slower than the similarly priced latest Canon DR-M260, Fujitsu FI-7160 and Raven Pro Max designs. But those timings don’t factor in organising, loading the paper, and then removing the scanned work, or delays due to jamming or scans that have issues. Based on the 45 pages per minute, for both monochrome and colour scanning at 300 dpi, 7,000 pages represent 155 minutes of total scanning. The quoted duty cycle is an impressive 7,000 pages per day, and for those considering that amount of scanning, a replacement roller assembly is available. Obviously, the 100-sheet input capacity is dependent on the thickness of the stock, but you should be able to get that many 80g/m² pages ready to scan. Paper ranging from 27 to 413 g/m² can pass through, and you can send plastic cards too. Source documents can be single or double-sided, though the scanner requires this to be set by the operator and isn’t automatically detected. The smallest documents it can take are just 50.8 mm square, and the largest is 215.9mm wide by a whopping 6,096 mm long. Guides automatically centralise the paper, and the DS-790WN can take Letter, Legal, A4 and all the smaller sizes. Powering on the machine activates a large, bright, and colourful 10.9 cm touch screen from where you can initial scans, change settings and access the defined presets.Īs with all these types of devices, documents are fed into the top hopper, up to 100 sheets, and after scanning, ejected to a lower tray. It needs to be said that the DS-790WN can be used entirely without a computer or any software installations, but some functionality is only available when the scanner is driven by a remote network connection. Maybe a 50 cent USB key might be more helpful, or a QR code to download the files required. Why, in 2022, Epson is still providing files on optical disks is a mystery. Included in the packaging is a laptop-style power brick with cable, a USB cable, Ethernet LAN cable and some basic printed instructions along with a software disc. It comes in two parts that need to be assembled after unpacking, and that takes only a few seconds once all the adhesive tape securing any moving elements to avoid them shifting in transit has been removed. To keep the weight down and production costs low, the outside of the DS-790WN is impact-resistant plastic surrounding a stiffer metal frame. Weighing 3.7 kg, this is a compact design that could be easily transported around the office as required. Measuring only 296 x 169 x 167 mm with trays closed and 296 x 212 x 217 mm open. We thought the Canon ImageFORMULA R40 was a tiny desktop scanner until the Epson WorkForce DS-790WN came out of its box. (Image credit: Mark Pickavance) Design and build
