Epson DS-870 Color Duplex Workgroup Document Scanner B11B250201

The Epson DS-870 Color Duplex Workgroup Document Scanner B11B250201 delivers fast, reliable document scanning for busy offices and workgroups that need high-volume performance without the size of a production-floor scanner.

Featuring scan speeds up to 65 ppm / 130 ipm, a large 100-sheet Automatic Document Feeder, single-pass duplex scanning and a peak daily duty cycle of up to 10,000 sheets, the DS-870 is designed to keep demanding document workflows moving.

Advanced paper-handling technology, a convenient color LCD control panel, TWAIN and ISIS® driver support, and versatile media handling make the DS-870 an excellent choice for businesses that need speed, dependability and easy integration with existing document-management systems.

Epson DS-870 High-Speed Workgroup Document Scanner

The Epson DS-870 is built for offices where scanning is an important part of the daily workflow.

Its 100-sheet Automatic Document Feeder allows large document batches to be processed with fewer interruptions, while single-pass duplex technology scans both sides of each page simultaneously.

Maximum scanning performance reaches:

65 ppm — Pages Per Minute
130 ipm — Images Per Minute

At 200 or 300 dpi, the DS-870 maintains its full rated 65 ppm / 130 ipm speed in black-and-white, grayscale or color.

With a peak daily duty cycle of up to 10,000 sheets, the DS-870 provides substantially more capacity than a typical general-office desktop scanner.

High-Speed 100-Sheet Automatic Document Feeder

The DS-870 is designed to handle substantial scanning jobs efficiently.

Its 100-sheet Automatic Document Feeder allows users to load a large stack of paperwork and continue working while documents are captured.

Single-pass duplex scanning processes the front and back of each page at the same time, providing maximum speeds of:

65 ppm / 130 ipm at 200 dpi
65 ppm / 130 ipm at 300 dpi

At higher 400 and 600 dpi settings, the rated speed is approximately:

16 ppm / 32 ipm

This gives businesses the flexibility to choose between maximum productivity and higher-resolution scanning depending upon the application.

10,000-Sheet Peak Daily Duty Cycle

The Epson DS-870 is designed for considerably heavier workloads than many everyday office scanners.

Its 10,000-sheet peak daily duty cycle makes it a strong choice for:

• Accounting departments
• Medical offices
• Healthcare organizations
• Financial institutions
• Insurance companies
• Legal offices
• Government agencies
• Educational institutions
• Corporate records departments
• Administrative offices
• Document-management departments
• Busy workgroups

For organizations scanning thousands of pages each day, the DS-870 provides the capacity needed for sustained document processing.

Extra-Long Document Scanning

The DS-870 can scan documents up to an impressive 240 inches long.

Maximum resolution varies according to document length:

• Up to 53″ long: Up to 600 dpi
• 53″ to 215″ long: Up to 300 dpi
• 215″ to 240″ long: Up to 200 dpi

This feature is especially useful for:

• Long receipts
• Continuous business records
• Financial documents
• Transaction reports
• Medical records
• Specialized forms
• Other extended-length paperwork

Folded 11″ x 17″ Document Scanning

The DS-870 is an 8.5-inch-wide sheet-fed scanner, but it can also accommodate larger folded documents using an optional carrier sheet.

Compatible 11″ x 17″ or A3-size originals can be folded and placed inside the carrier sheet for scanning.

This is useful for occasional oversized originals such as:

• Spreadsheets
• Engineering documents
• Financial reports
• Large forms
• Drawings
• Oversized business records

The optional carrier sheet also provides additional protection for delicate or irregular originals.

Plastic ID Card Scanning

The DS-870 can scan compatible rigid plastic identification cards, including embossed cards.

Maximum supported embossed-card thickness is approximately:

Less than 1.24 mm

Potential applications include:

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

This can be particularly useful in healthcare, banking, insurance and customer-service environments.

Business Card Scanning

Paper business cards can also be loaded directly into the DS-870.

The scanner can accommodate multiple business cards, making it useful for:

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

Advanced Paper Feeding Technology

High-speed scanning is only useful when documents feed reliably.

The Epson DS-870 includes several technologies designed to reduce misfeeds and protect originals.

Ultrasonic Double-Feed Detection

Ultrasonic sensors help detect when multiple sheets enter the scanner together.

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

Paper Protection

Paper Protection technology monitors document feeding and can help stop scanning before a document is damaged by an abnormal feed condition.

Slow Speed Mode

Slow Speed Mode reduces the feeding speed when scanning delicate, thin or difficult originals.

This can be helpful when working with important paperwork that requires additional care.

Color LCD Control Panel

The DS-870 features a convenient color LCD display with push-button controls.

The control panel provides access to:

• User-defined scan jobs
• Scanner settings
• Scanning modes
• Maintenance information
• Scanner status
• Error information

Frequently used scanning jobs can be selected directly from the scanner, helping streamline repetitive document workflows.

Powerful Document Management with OCR

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

Users can create:

• Searchable PDF documents
• Multi-page PDF files
• Customized scanning jobs
• Repeatable document workflows
• Electronic archives

OCR — Optical Character Recognition — recognizes printed text within scanned documents so information can be searched rather than stored only as an image.

Business Software Integration

The Epson DS-870 includes both TWAIN and ISIS® driver support, allowing it to integrate with a wide variety of compatible third-party document-management applications.

This makes the scanner particularly suitable for:

• Healthcare document systems
• Financial applications
• Insurance workflows
• Government records management
• Legal document management
• Accounting software
• Enterprise content-management systems
• General business document imaging

Optional Flatbed Scanning

Businesses that occasionally need to scan originals that cannot pass through an Automatic Document Feeder can expand the DS-870 with the optional Flatbed Scanner Dock B12B819011.

When paired with a compatible Epson flatbed scanner, this setup can provide additional capability for:

• Photographs
• Passports
• Books
• Bound materials
• Fragile documents
• Delicate originals
• Irregular media

This allows businesses to use the DS-870 for high-speed document scanning while adding flatbed capability when needed.
