Epson DS-730N Network Document Scanner

The Epson DS-730N is designed for businesses that need more than a scanner connected to a single workstation.

Built-in Gigabit Ethernet allows the scanner to become a shared network resource, giving multiple users access without requiring the unit to remain attached to one person’s computer.

Maximum scanning performance reaches:

40 ppm — Pages Per Minute
80 ipm — Images Per Minute

The DS-730N maintains its rated speed at both 200 and 300 dpi, making it well suited for everyday business document capture.

Built for Network Workgroups

The DS-730N is particularly useful in offices where several employees need access to the same scanner.

Instead of placing separate scanners at every workstation, the DS-730N can be connected to the office Ethernet network and shared among authorized users.

Potential environments include:

• Accounting departments
• Medical offices
• Insurance agencies
• Financial institutions
• Legal offices
• Human resources departments
• Government offices
• Educational institutions
• Corporate records departments
• Administrative workgroups
• Customer-service departments

Built-In Gigabit Ethernet

The DS-730N includes integrated wired network connectivity supporting:

• 1000Base-T
• 100Base-TX
• 10Base-T

Gigabit Ethernet provides reliable connectivity for shared office environments and can be particularly useful where wired networking is preferred over Wi-Fi.

Important Connectivity Note

The standard DS-730N includes Ethernet and USB connectivity.

It does not include built-in Wi-Fi.

Customers wanting both wireless and Ethernet networking may want to consider another Epson network model such as the DS-790WN.

Three Dedicated Quick Send Buttons

One of the DS-730N’s most useful features is its set of three dedicated Quick Send buttons.

Frequently used scanning jobs can be registered in advance so users can quickly start common workflows without repeatedly configuring settings.

Quick Send buttons can help simplify tasks such as:

• Scanning to network destinations
• Sending documents to assigned computers
• Starting predefined document workflows
• Using frequently repeated scan settings
• Routing documents to departmental locations

This can save time in shared environments where employees perform the same scanning tasks throughout the day.

Color LCD Control Panel

The DS-730N includes a color LCD display and physical control buttons.

The control panel provides access to:

• User-defined scanning jobs
• Quick Send functions
• Scanner status
• Settings
• Maintenance information
• Network functions
• Error information

This makes common scanning tasks easier to perform directly from the scanner.

High-Capacity 100-Sheet ADF

The DS-730N includes a substantial 100-sheet Automatic Document Feeder when using standard 80 g/m² office paper.

The large feeder is ideal for processing:

• Contracts
• Invoices
• Applications
• Medical records
• Insurance documents
• Financial records
• Personnel files
• Customer records
• Correspondence
• Archived paperwork

ADF capacity may vary depending upon paper size, thickness, weight and condition.

Single-Pass Duplex Scanning

The DS-730N scans the front and back of a document at the same time.

At 200 and 300 dpi, rated performance reaches:

40 ppm — Simplex
80 ipm — Duplex

At 600 dpi, scanning speed is approximately:

12 ppm / 24 ipm

This allows users to choose between maximum productivity and higher-resolution capture depending upon the document.

Extra-Long Document Scanning

The DS-730N handles unusually long originals.

Epson specifies maximum lengths of approximately:

• Up to 53″ at resolutions through 600 dpi
• Up to 215″ at resolutions through 300 dpi
• Up to 240″ at supported low-resolution settings

This makes the DS-730N useful for:

• Long receipts
• Continuous reports
• Financial documents
• Medical records
• Transaction records
• Specialized forms
• Extended business documents

Folded 11″ x 17″ Document Scanning

Although the DS-730N is an 8.5-inch-wide sheet-fed scanner, an optional carrier sheet allows users to scan larger folded originals.

Compatible 11″ x 17″ / A3 documents can be folded and inserted into the carrier sheet.

This can be useful for:

• Large spreadsheets
• Financial reports
• Drawings
• Oversized forms
• Maps
• Engineering documents
• Large business records

Carrier sheets can also provide additional protection for delicate or irregular originals.

Plastic and Embossed Card Scanning

The DS-730N can scan compatible plastic identification cards, including embossed cards.

Maximum supported thickness is approximately:

Less than 1.24 mm with embossing

Possible applications include:

• Driver-license-size ID cards
• Insurance cards
• Employee badges
• Membership cards
• Customer identification cards
• Embossed plastic cards

Business Card Scanning

The DS-730N can also capture paper business cards.

This capability is useful for:

• Sales departments
• Customer databases
• Marketing departments
• Trade-show contacts
• Contact management
• Business-card archives

Paper Protection

The DS-730N includes Paper Protection technology designed to help reduce the risk of damaging valuable documents.

The scanner monitors paper movement and can stop the feeding process when abnormal conditions are detected.

This is particularly useful when scanning important originals that cannot easily be replaced.

Ultrasonic Double-Feed Detection

Ultrasonic sensors help detect situations where two or more sheets may enter the scanner together.

This helps reduce the possibility of pages being skipped during large scanning jobs.

For businesses digitizing important records, reliable double-feed detection can provide greater confidence that the entire document has been captured.

Dirt Detection

The DS-730N includes Dirt Detection technology.

The scanner can alert the user when dirt, dust or other material is detected on internal scanning surfaces.

Regular cleaning helps prevent unwanted lines or marks from appearing on scanned images.

Scan to Network Destinations and Online Services

The DS-730N supports a variety of business document workflows.

Depending upon software configuration, scanned documents can be routed to destinations such as:

• Network folders
• FTP / FTPS locations
• SharePoint
• Email
• Supported online storage accounts
• Connected computers

Cloud and online-storage workflows may require Epson software installed on a connected Windows PC or Mac.

Powerful Document Management with OCR

Included Epson document-management software helps convert paper records into useful digital information.

Users can create:

• Searchable PDF documents
• Editable Microsoft Word files
• Editable Microsoft Excel files
• Editable Microsoft PowerPoint files
• Multi-page PDF documents
• Customized scanning jobs
• Repeatable document workflows
• Electronic archives

OCR — Optical Character Recognition — recognizes text within scanned pages so information can be searched, copied and edited.

Professional Business Integration

The DS-730N includes both TWAIN and ISIS® driver support, helping it integrate with many third-party business applications.

Potential environments include:

• Healthcare document systems
• Financial applications
• Insurance workflows
• Legal document management
• Government records
• Accounting applications
• Enterprise content management
• Education
• General office administration
