Epson has a large history of dealing scanners, but they have been primarily photocentric flatbed scanners. The Epson run Force Pro GT-S50 is various — neither photocentric nor flatbed. It is little sufficient to set on a desktop to utilize as a private sheet fed file scanner, Still heavy-duty sufficient — with a 75-page automatic file feeder (ADF)—to manage entire of the scanning in a typical little office or work group. It is an impressive offering for the price, and a clear statement of how serious Epson is about I is fresh found interest in the little office.


Physically, the GT-S50 is basically for file scanners in its cost range. It evaluate 8.4 by 11.9 by 8.0” with the inner and outer trays closed, or 15.9 by 11.9 by 15” with the trays covered. Setup is typical as well. Fix the scanner in place, open the top cover, extend the output tray at the down front, set up the software, and plug in a Universal Serial Bus cable and power wire.

I set up the scanner below Windows Vista, but consorting to Epson the GT-S50 too arrives with drivers and a complete set of software for Windows 2000 and XP. Epson tells it arrives with drivers and a closely full set of software for Mac OS X, as well, supporting versions 10.3.9 by 10.5x. For Windows, the triple of Twain, WIA, and ISIS drivers assures that you can scan exactly from virtually any Windows program with a scan order.


In increase to the drivers and the Epson scan utility, Epson adds an classification of programs appropriate for a file scanner—Abbyy Well Reader 6.0 Sprint Plus for visual character recognition, Nuance ScanSoft PaperPort Special Version for file management, and NewSoft Presto! BizCard V SE for business cards.


Entire 3 are between the most basic programs bunches with scanners, and all do their jobs reasonably good. Unluckily, PaperPort SE deficiencies the complete edition's power to index the content in documents on your disk, which lets you search documents through finding for words in those documents. This is a specially significant characteristics if you design to scan files to searchable PDF format and require to search the right file rapidly at few after time. If you need that power, you will require a separate indexing program. This is not a major issue, however, since you can download Google Desktop, with its find characteristic, free.
