Epson Australia has expanded its workgroup document scanner portfolio with the new WorkForce DS-970 and DS-870, its fastest-ever colour duplex document scanners designed for busy and high-volume offices of any size.

Epson's first 85 ppm/170 ipm¹ document scanner, the DS-970 offers a peak daily duty cycle of up to 9,000 sheets², while the new DS-870 scans as fast as 65 ppm/130 ipm¹ with a peak daily duty cycle of up to 7,000 sheets³.

Featuring a 100-page Automatic Document Feeder for high-volume batch scanning, the versatile DS-970 and DS-870 help professionals easily scan, organise and upload a variety of documents, including mixed stacks of business and ID cards, long documents and folded pages⁴ up to 11" x 17" (A3).

Using advanced paper feed technology which includes Slow Speed Mode for delicate sheets, Double-Feed Detection and Paper Protection to prevent misfeeds, the DS-970 and DS-870 allow the user to conveniently scan important documents hassle and worry-free.

With the included OCR and powerful Document Capture software as well as compatibility with both Windows and Mac, users can create searchable PDFs, store and share their work to online storage accounts such as Evernote, SharePoint and Google Drive. Additionally, both models come with a compact, space-saving footprint, designed to easily fit within virtually any modern workspace.

Equipped with an LCD screen for easy navigation and mode selection, the DS-970 and DS-870 come with advanced TWAIN and ISIS drivers for seamless integration with existing third-party document management software.

Users can choose from the optional Network Interface Unit to share the scanner across a network or optional Flatbed Dock to connect to a compatible Epson photo scanner for scanning photos, passports, or bound materials. 

Both scanners include a three-year limited warranty.
