Compact Vertical Design

One of the biggest advantages of the Epson DS-C480W is its small footprint.

Its vertical paper-feed system is designed to save up to 60% of desk space compared with larger conventional desktop document scanners with trays extended.

The compact size makes it particularly useful for:

• Reception desks
• Medical offices
• Bank teller stations
• Customer service counters
• Retail environments
• Hotel front desks
• Insurance offices
• Home offices
• Workstations with limited desk space

At approximately 4.2 lb., the DS-C480W provides substantial scanning capability without requiring a large or heavy desktop device.

Wireless Scanning

Unlike the USB-only DS-C490, the DS-C480W includes built-in wireless networking.

Dual-band Wi-Fi supports both:

• 2.4 GHz networks
• 5 GHz networks

Wireless connectivity allows users to scan from compatible computers and mobile devices without needing to connect the scanner directly to each workstation.

The DS-C480W also supports Wi-Fi Direct for compatible direct device connections.

2.4-Inch Color Touchscreen

The built-in 2.4-inch color LCD touchscreen makes the DS-C480W especially convenient in shared office environments.

Users can access:

• Saved scanning jobs
• Frequently used presets
• Scan destinations
• Scanner settings
• Network settings
• Maintenance information
• Help and troubleshooting

Up to 24 frequently used scanning presets can be registered, making repetitive scanning workflows faster and easier.

Scan Directly Without a Computer

Epson ScanWay™ technology allows users to initiate scans directly from the DS-C480W’s touchscreen.

Depending on configuration, scanned documents can be sent directly to:

• USB flash drives
• Email
• Network folders
• FTP or FTPS locations
• Supported online storage services
• Connected computers

This PC-free capability is particularly helpful when the scanner is shared by several employees.

Flexible Two-Path Document Handling

The DS-C480W uses two paper paths to accommodate a wide variety of originals.

Vertical Path

The vertical path is ideal for everyday business documents and allows the scanner to maintain its compact footprint.

It is useful for:

• Letter-size documents
• Legal-size documents
• Forms
• Invoices
• Contracts
• Statements
• Receipts
• Business records
• Multi-page documents

Straight Path

The straight-through paper path is designed for thicker or specialty originals.

It can be used for:

• Passports
• Booklets
• Plastic cards
• Laminated cards
• Thick documents
• Envelopes
• Carrier sheets
• Irregular originals

This flexible design allows one compact scanner to handle documents that would normally require several different scanning methods.

Passport and Booklet Scanning

The Epson DS-C480W is particularly useful for businesses that routinely capture identification documents.

The straight paper path can accommodate compatible A5-size booklets and passports up to approximately 0.20″ thick when closed.

Passports can be scanned directly, or an optional passport carrier sheet can be used when additional protection is desired.

This capability makes the DS-C480W useful for:

• Hotels
• Medical offices
• Financial institutions
• Government offices
• Travel-related businesses
• Human resources departments
• Customer registration locations

Extra-Long Document Scanning

The DS-C480W can scan documents up to 220 inches long at supported resolutions.

This capability is useful for:

• Long receipts
• Continuous records
• Transaction reports
• Medical documents
• Specialized forms
• Other extended-length originals

Maximum scan length may vary depending upon resolution and the scanning method being used.

Plastic and Laminated Card Scanning

The straight paper path allows the DS-C480W to scan compatible plastic and laminated cards.

Possible applications include:

• Identification cards
• Driver-license-size cards
• Insurance cards
• Membership cards
• Laminated documents

This versatility makes the scanner especially useful in customer-facing environments where both identification and traditional paperwork must be digitized.

Folded and Irregular Document Scanning

Using an optional carrier sheet, the DS-C480W can handle originals that are irregularly shaped, fragile or easily scratched.

Carrier sheets can also assist with folded oversized documents when used with compatible scanning software.

This expands the scanner’s usefulness beyond traditional business paperwork.

Intelligent Image Processing

The Epson DS-C480W includes intelligent image-processing technology designed to produce clean, professional digital documents with minimal manual correction.

Features include:

• Automatic cropping
• Blank page removal
• Background removal
• Glass dirt detection
• Paper skew correction
• Text enhancement
• Document protection
• Staple detection and protection
• Double-feed detection
• Automatic image adjustment

These features help reduce scanning errors and the need to manually correct scanned files.

Document Protection

The DS-C480W includes several technologies designed to help protect originals during scanning.

Paper Protection can stop scanning when the scanner detects conditions such as:

• A paper-feed error
• A document feeding at an angle
• A possible stapled original
• An incorrect paper path for the type of original

Double-feed detection also helps identify situations where more than one sheet enters the scanner at the same time.

Powerful Document Management with OCR

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

Users can create:

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

OCR technology recognizes text in scanned documents so information can be searched, copied and edited.

Mobile Scanning

The DS-C480W can work with compatible iOS and Android devices using Epson mobile scanning software.

Users can wirelessly:

• Start scanning from a mobile device
• Save scanned documents to the device
• Send scans by email
• Upload documents to supported online storage services
• Configure certain scanner settings

This provides additional flexibility for workgroups that use smartphones and tablets alongside traditional computers.

Business Software Integration

It is well suited for environments such as:

• Healthcare
• Banking and finance
