Review: Great portable scanner - Works great for documents, especially legal-sized, receipts, cards, checks, etc.... anything that isn't letter-sized (it handles letter-sized just fine as well). This scanner creates very nice images or PDFs that are sized according the document. My rather more expensive flat-bed does not (although it has other benefits). You may be able to cram it into your laptop bag, but certainly it's no problem finding space in your regular suitcase for it. The software, as usual for scanners, is a mess. But as scanner software goes, it's not that much of one. "Document Capture Pro" doesn't seem to me to do anything that the "EPSON Scan" program can do. However, it seems that the scanner button has to set up with Document Capture Pro. It's easy to create multi-page PDFs, even mixing color, gray-scale, and B&W. I haven't done, nor do I intend to do any photo scanning. But it certainly does what I want, and well. Review: Nice Little Scanner - I researched portable scanners online, trying to find a reliable one that's easy to set up but yet is inexpensive. This fit the bill. The setup was really easy, the scanning was simple and of good quality, and it was in my budget. It's a compact design that will be easy to transport, but yet it scans a full-size sheet of paper. I haven't had it for very long, so not sure how long it will last, but so far I'm quite pleased with it. My only struggle with it was when I went to scan the first time, and it didn't do anything for a few seconds...I didn't think it was working, but it was just thinking. You do have to be patient because there is a little lag, like when you send something to the printer. ## Features - Scans a variety of originals — scans documents up to 8.5" x 14", as well as business cards and plastic ID cards - Lightweight and travel-friendly — the portability you need to capture data while on the road; weighs under 1 lb - Scan to the cloud with one touch(2) — compatible with popular cloud services via included software - USB powered — connect to your computer; no external power supply required - Create editable text and searchable PDFs(1) — OCR and document management suite included for PDF and PDF/A files - Compatible with Windows and Mac — ideal for any business setup - Powerful software included — Epson Document Capture Pro(1), ABBYY FineReader, NewSoft PageManager (for Mac) and more ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0074ZN27C | | Best Sellers Rank | #186,970 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #219 in Document Scanners | | Brand | Epson | | Connection Type | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (841) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00010343886971, 20010343886975 | | Item Weight | 11.2 ounces | | Manufacturer | Epson | | Media Type | Business Card, ID Card | | Minimum System Requirements | Windows 7 | | Model Name | B11B206201 | | Paper Size | Letter | | Resolution | 600 | | Scanner Type | Document | | Standard Sheet Capacity | 10 | | UPC | 010343886971 | | Warranty Description | One year limited | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Epson - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Item Weight:** 11.2 ounces - **Maximum Media Size:** 8.5 x 14 inches - **Minimum System Requirements:** Windows 7 - **Model Name:** B11B206201 - **Resolution:** 600 - **Scanner Type:** Document - **Standard Sheet Capacity:** 10 - **UPC:** 010343886971 ## Images ![Workforce DS-30 Portable Document Scanner for PC and Mac, Sheet-fed, Mobile/Portable - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41u3qTfss0L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: is this a 1- sided or 2-sided scanner?** A: 2-sided scanner. **Q: To use it as a thermometer or temperature scanner on the kids, do we still need the USB connection to PC or connect USB cable to kids?** A: Girls, left nostril. Boys, right nostril. Make sure you are plugging it into THEIR left and right, not facing them. It's not like a car battery, though. If you plug it into the wrong nostril, it's not going to do any damage to their system. It simply won't scan. Either way, you stand a 50/50 chance of getting it right the first time. This only matters if the kid is under 2 years of age. After that, either can be used--kind of like an electrical outlet allows you to use the top or bottom to plug in. Good luck! **Q: Do you have to send your files to a cloud service or can they be loaded directly to your computer?** A: I scan the docs, it goes to a local folder as a temporary and then rename/re-file them elsewhere. No cloud needed. **Q: How well does it scan photos and art?** A: It doesn't do well with glossy paper/photos. I tried to scan about 50 photos and it would start to skip and make some interesting images. IMHO, you'd want a flatbed scanner for best results. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great portable scanner *by S***H on April 29, 2017* Works great for documents, especially legal-sized, receipts, cards, checks, etc.... anything that isn't letter-sized (it handles letter-sized just fine as well).

I needed to get my piles of paperwork since buying a house under control! This review will be based on using it at home & office. It does come with a lot of software, some of which you may not ever need (if you are a casual user), but you can skip installing that which is nice. There is a Epson Scan, which is a 1 page scan. Useful for on the go or quickies (IMO). The main program Document Capture Pro where you can scan multiple pages (one at a time), rotate, flip, etc. Good for those long scan sessions. You have coffee right! It also comes with both AbbyFineReader and Presto! Biz Card both of which have the option of not being installed. I have not had needed to use Abby FineReader, but BizCard is junk. Do not recommend (see Cons). Pros: - Document Capture Pro (IMO the primary scanning program) is pretty easy to set up, change and navigate. You can easily scan several pages, you just have to add each page individually by adding it (right click + add page). - Unlike some other small portable or handheld scanners this one doesn't have a page limit that you need to watch for so you don't accidentally burn out your scanner by using it too much at once. I scanned all my mortgage paperwork (120ish pages) in one sitting with no issues and about 200+ pages at work in a day. The one at work has currently scanned about a banker box of paperwork and is still going strong. - For being small and portable you get pretty good results. No, not holy moly great, but pretty good. - You are able (using Document Capture) to send your scanned documents directly to email, Evernote and a bunch of other programs that I haven't used personally because I am scanning them for personal (work) use. Cons - Biggest con, IMO is the speed. It isn't fast but gets the job done. I think the trade off you really have to consider is portability (size) vs speed. It's certainly faster than watching paint dry! - Color yellow never really shows up well unless it's SUPER bright (if anybody really cares...someone might!). We scan carbon copy type yellow sheets alot, they always come out as white. - Something is a bit off with black and white vs Color quality (even in same high vs medium quality scans). Black and white scans always look a little more grittier and pixelated. We tend to scan everything in Color for better quality (even if the original is B&W). - Presto BizCard is one of the software that is all but useless. The idea is you can scan business cards and it will automatically import the data from them to a database. Except it doesn't work well for about 70% of cards I tested it on. If they have weird writing, it won't work. Big picture = nope! Half the info one side, the rest on the back = also won't work. Nice idea, but program is almost junk. You end up needing to edit or add in almost all the information by hand. If you want a sortable database just make one in Excel or something like that. You will save yourself a headache. TL:DR - If you need a portable little workhorse that is kinda slow but gets the job done whatever you throw at it. I recommend the Epson WorkForce DS-30. It just keeps going and going! ## Frequently Bought Together - Epson WorkForce DS-30 Portable Document Scanner for PC and Mac, Sheet-fed, Mobile/Portable - Case Fits Epson Workforce ES-50 / ES-60W / DS-30 / DS-70 Portable Document & Image Scanner - (Will Not fit Other Models.) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/1154367-workforce-ds-30-portable-document-scanner-for-pc-and-mac](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/1154367-workforce-ds-30-portable-document-scanner-for-pc-and-mac) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
