Epson DS-80W Wireless Portable Document Scanner B11B253202

The Epson DS-80W Wireless Portable Document Scanner B11B253202 puts full-featured document scanning in an incredibly small, lightweight package that’s easy to take virtually anywhere.

Weighing only about 0.7 lb. and measuring just 10.7″ wide, the DS-80W is ideal for mobile professionals, traveling employees, home offices and anyone who needs to scan documents away from a traditional workstation.

Built-in Wi-Fi and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery allow you to scan without being connected to a computer or electrical outlet. Scan documents wirelessly to a compatible PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad or Android device, or connect by USB when working at your desk.

The DS-80W scans a standard letter-size page in as little as 4 seconds, handles documents up to 8.5″ x 72″, and can scan receipts, business cards and plastic ID cards.

Epson DS-80W — A Scanner You Can Actually Take With You

The Epson DS-80W is designed for people who don’t always work from the same desk.

Slip it into a laptop bag, briefcase or travel case and you have a capable document scanner available wherever business takes you.

It’s an excellent solution for:

• Traveling sales representatives

• Field service technicians
• Accountants and bookkeepers
• Healthcare professionals
• Attorneys and legal professionals
• Construction and project managers
• Remote employees
• Small business owners

At approximately 0.7 pound, the DS-80W adds very little weight to a mobile office.

Truly Wireless — With Its Own Battery

One of the strongest reasons to choose the DS-80W is that wireless really means wireless.  The scanner contains an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery, so when operating wirelessly it does not need to be connected to a computer or power outlet.

That means you can scan:

• At a customer’s location
• From a hotel room
• At a jobsite
• Inside a vehicle or mobile office
• At a trade show
• During an off-site meeting
• From a temporary workstation
• Anywhere you have your compatible computer or mobile device

The internal battery is rated for approximately 300 scans on a full charge under Epson’s testing conditions using continuous feeding at 300 dpi in color over Wi-Fi.

A complete charge takes approximately 3.5 hours through USB with the scanner turned off.

Wireless Scanning to Computers and Mobile Devices

The DS-80W provides 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connectivity and can scan wirelessly to compatible:

• Windows computers
• Mac computers
• iPhones
• iPads
• Android phones
• Android tablets

Compatible mobile devices can use Epson’s mobile scanning application to initiate and manage scans.  For customers who work from tablets or phones in the field, this is a major advantage over a conventional USB-only portable scanner.

Important Wireless Note

The DS-80W supports 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi.

It does not support 5 GHz Wi-Fi.

USB or Wireless — Automatically

The DS-80W can operate through either:

Wi-Fi — for cordless mobile scanning or USB 2.0 — for direct connection to a computer

The scanner automatically detects whether it is operating through USB or wireless, reducing the need to manually change settings every time you move between mobile and desktop use.  USB and network scanning are not used simultaneously.

Scan a Page in as Little as 4 Seconds

Small does not have to mean slow.  The DS-80W can scan a standard 8.5″ x 11″ page in as little as 4 seconds at 300 dpi, which equals approximately:

15 pages per minute.  For receipts, forms, contracts and other short scanning jobs, this provides excellent productivity from a device small enough to fit alongside a laptop.

Single-Sheet Feeding — With a Clever Multi-Page Option

The DS-80W is intentionally designed as an ultra-portable scanner, 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 scanning much easier.

Once the first page is scanned, simply insert the next sheet. The scanner automatically detects it and continues scanning so multiple pages can be combined into one file.

This provides much of the convenience of batch scanning without adding the size and weight of a traditional ADF.

Scan Documents Up to 72 Inches Long

The DS-80W handles more than ordinary letter-size documents.

Supported document sizes range from approximately:

2″ x 2″ minimum to 8.5″ x 72″ maximum

Long-document scanning at lengths over 14 inches is supported at resolutions up to 300 dpi.

This makes the DS-80W especially useful for:

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

Perfect for Receipts and Expense Records

The DS-80W’s compact design is particularly well suited for people who accumulate receipts while traveling.

Instead of returning from a trip with a wallet, envelope or folder full of receipts, documents can be scanned as expenses occur.

The scanner accommodates receipts from approximately 2″ wide up to 8.5″ wide and as long as 72 inches when scanned using supported settings.

This makes it a practical companion for business travelers, sales representatives and independent contractors.

Business Card Scanning

Paper business cards can also be scanned directly through the DS-80W.

This is useful for:

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

Instead of carrying stacks of cards back to the office, they can be digitized as they are received.

Plastic ID and Embossed Card Scanning

The DS-80W can handle compatible plastic cards, including embossed ID-style cards.

Supported ISO ID-1 cards measure approximately:

2.1″ x 3.3″

Maximum card thickness is approximately:

• 1.24 mm with embossing
• 1.0 mm without embossing

This capability can be useful for customer registration, insurance information, membership cards and identification-document workflows.

Optional Carrier Sheet for Delicate Originals

An optional portable-scanner carrier sheet can be used for documents that should not be fed directly into the scanner.

The carrier sheet is useful for:

• Fragile documents
• Wrinkled originals
• Torn paperwork
• Irregularly shaped documents
• Photos
• Important originals requiring additional protection

This helps expand the range of materials that can be digitized with the DS-80W.

Searchable PDF and OCR Capability

Included Epson software can convert scanned documents into more useful digital files.

OCR — Optical Character Recognition — allows printed words on a scanned page to be recognized as text.

Users can create:

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

Instead of simply creating a picture of a document, OCR allows important information inside the document to be searched and reused.

Automatic Feeding Mode

Automatic Feeding Mode is especially valuable on this scanner.

After scanning the first page, the scanner waits for another original. Insert the next page and scanning automatically resumes.

This allows users to create a single multi-page document from a series of individually fed pages.

It’s a simple feature, but it makes the DS-80W much more useful for contracts, reports and other documents containing several pages.

Important Buyer Note

The DS-80W is a single-sided, single-sheet portable scanner.

It is designed for maximum portability rather than high-volume duplex batch scanning. For customers who need a larger ADF or automatic two-sided scanning, one of Epson’s compact desktop models would be the better choice.

For mobile professionals who primarily scan receipts, forms, contracts, IDs and shorter document sets, the DS-80W’s much smaller size can be a significant advantage.

Battery Specifications

• Battery Type: Rechargeable Lithium-Ion
• Battery Capacity: 1140 mAh
• Battery Voltage: 3.6 V
• Approximate Full Charge Time: 3.5 hours through USB with scanner turned off
• Approximate Scans Per Charge: 300 under Epson’s specified test conditions

The scanner can operate from its internal battery while scanning wirelessly or can operate through USB when connected to a computer.

Dimensions and Weight

Scanner

• Width: 10.7″

• Package Dimensions: Approximately 13.3″ x 5.6″ x 2.6″
• Packaged Weight: Approximately 1.3 lb.

At less than three-quarters of a pound, the DS-80W is genuinely portable rather than simply being a smaller desktop scanner.

Power

The DS-80W does not require a conventional AC power connection during normal battery-powered wireless use.

Power requirements are based on 5 V DC through USB for charging and USB operation.

This makes it particularly attractive for professionals who frequently work away from a permanent office.
