Weighing less than 0.6 lb. and measuring only 10.7 inches wide, the DS-70 easily fits alongside a laptop in a briefcase, backpack or travel bag.

The scanner is powered directly through its USB connection, so there are no batteries, AC adapters or external power supplies to carry. Simply connect it to a compatible Windows PC or Mac and start scanning.

• Attorneys and legal professionals
• Field service employees
• Construction professionals
• Healthcare offices
• Remote workers

At only about 0.59 lb., the DS-70 adds very little weight to a laptop bag.

No Batteries. No Power Adapter. Just USB.

One of the best features of the Epson DS-70 is its simplicity.

The scanner receives both power and data through its USB connection, eliminating the need to carry:

• Batteries
• Battery chargers
• AC adapters
• Power bricks
• Additional power cables

Connect the DS-70 to a compatible laptop or desktop computer and it is ready for use.

For travelers already carrying a laptop, this keeps the mobile scanning setup exceptionally compact.

Scan a Page in as Little as 5.5 Seconds

Portable does not have to mean painfully slow.

The DS-70 scans a standard 8.5″ x 11″ page at 300 dpi in as little as 5.5 seconds, with a rated scanning speed of up to approximately:

10 pages per minute

That makes it practical for:

• Contracts
• Forms
• Receipts
• Expense reports
• Applications
• Customer records
• Invoices
• Business correspondence
• Identification documents

For users who only need to scan a few documents at a time, the DS-70 can be much more convenient than carrying or dedicating space to a larger scanner.

Single-Sheet Feed with Automatic Feeding Mode

The Epson DS-70 is intentionally designed for portability, so it does not have a traditional Automatic Document Feeder.

Documents are inserted one sheet at a time.

However, Epson’s Automatic Feeding Mode makes multi-page jobs much easier.

After scanning one page, simply insert the next sheet. The scanner automatically recognizes the new page and continues scanning, allowing several individually fed sheets to be combined into a single multi-page file.

This provides convenient multi-page scanning without adding the size and weight of an ADF.

Scan Documents Up to 72 Inches Long

The DS-70 can scan much more than standard letter-size paperwork.

Supported document sizes range from approximately:

2″ x 2″ minimum to 8.5″ x 72″ maximum

Long documents measuring more than 14 inches can be scanned at resolutions up to 300 dpi.

This makes the DS-70 especially useful for:

• Long receipts
• Transaction records
• Continuous paperwork
• Expense documentation
• Medical documents
• Financial records
• Specialized business forms

Excellent for Receipts

For business travelers, one of the strongest uses for the DS-70 is receipt scanning.

Instead of returning home with an envelope full of receipts, paperwork can be digitized as expenses occur.

The DS-70 handles receipts ranging from approximately 2 inches to 8.5 inches wide and up to 72 inches long at supported resolutions.

That makes it useful for:

• Travel expenses
• Meals
• Fuel receipts
• Hotel receipts
• Equipment purchases
• Customer expenses
• Jobsite purchases
• Business reimbursement records

Business Card Scanning

The DS-70 can scan standard paper business cards one at a time.

This can be useful for:

• Sales professionals
• Trade shows
• Customer meetings
• Networking events
• Contact management
• Business-card archiving

Instead of storing physical cards indefinitely, contact documents can be digitized along with other business records.

Plastic ID Card Scanning

The DS-70 can also scan compatible plastic cards.

Supported ISO ID-1 cards measure approximately:

2.1″ x 3.3″

Maximum supported thickness is approximately:

• 1.24 mm with embossing
• 1.0 mm without embossing

This makes the scanner useful for capturing compatible:

• Identification cards
• Insurance cards
• Membership cards
• Customer cards
• Embossed plastic cards

Plastic cards are fed horizontally through the scanner.

Optional Carrier Sheet for Delicate Originals

The optional Epson Carrier Sheet B12B819451 provides additional protection for documents that should not be fed directly into the scanner.

The carrier sheet is useful for:

• Fragile documents
• Wrinkled paperwork
• Torn documents
• Irregularly shaped originals
• Easily damaged materials
• Important originals requiring additional protection

Epson recommends using the appropriate carrier sheet rather than feeding delicate or valuable originals directly through the scanner.

Searchable PDF and OCR Capability

Included Epson software helps turn scanned paper into more useful digital information.  OCR — Optical Character Recognition — recognizes printed text within scanned documents.

Users can create:

• Searchable PDF files
• Editable text
• Editable Microsoft Office documents
• Multi-page PDF documents
• Electronic business records
• Digital archives

Instead of merely creating an image of a page, OCR can make information within the scanned document searchable and reusable.

Document Management Software

The Epson DS-70 supports Epson business scanning software including:

• Epson Scan 2
• Document Capture Pro for Windows
• Document Capture for Mac
• TWAIN-compatible applications

Document Capture software helps users scan, organize, save and distribute important business documents.

Software download and installation may require an Internet connection.

TWAIN Driver Support

The DS-70 includes a TWAIN driver, which helps it work directly with many compatible third-party business applications.

TWAIN compatibility can be useful in environments such as:

• Accounting
• Healthcare
• Insurance
• Legal
• Finance
• Records management
• General office administration
