Best bang for your buck – IT WORKS
I couldn’t believe how easy it was to set this thing up. It worked the first time I tried using it. This thing is fast, too! Scan quality was adequate for my needs- It’s a document scanner, not a photo scanner. For a hundred bucks and saving me a trip to Kinko’s, this machine is well worth it! I used a Mac with a USB to USB C adapter. Spending $13 on two adapters instead of $150 for the USB-C scanner made more sense to me. Doesn’t take up a ton of space which is a very nice perk. I highly recommend buying this scanner.

Does a great job for what it is.
Like others, I found a mountain of photos after my mother died. Many old family pictures that I couldn’t just discard but took up a lot of room. I bought this to scan and save those photos to a smaller package. Works well for the purpose.For color photos this unit is great. It’s fast, easy to use, portable. Software has very basic controls for adjusting image quality.One big caveat, it does NOT work on old, glossy, black and white photos. Hard to explain the effect but the image itself is only black and white with no grayscale so everything is washed out. Having to use an old, slow, flatbed scanner for these.Overall I’m happy with my purchase. Pretty good value for what it offers.

Scanner works great but goes to sleep after an hour and may no longer be available
I bought two of these for a medical practice and as long as the scanner is powered up it works very well. But if the device goes to sleep, the device May no longer be available because it disappears in the hardware list. Once that happens it could be several hours before it reappears. I called Epson support and they told me that the scan to utility does not have the capability of turning the sleep mode off. The WIA driver stops working in Windows 10 and 11 even though it says the WIA service is running. Disabling the WIA driver completely disables the device. The device will not run solely on Twain. Keep that in mind before you buy this device. When it does work it does a fine job of scanning medical IDs and DL’s.

Zero functionality on Windows 11 for arm64
In the reviews from other countries, you will find a review from Viktor H. who reports that this scanner has Windows 11, Mac, and Linux support including for ARM processors and Raspberry Pi. While it may work for non-Windows arm64-based computers (linux, mac), it has no support on Windows 11 for ARM. Currently as of Mar 2025, there is no standalone flatbed scanner, Epson or otherwise, that works on Windows 11 for ARM, which is a stunning fail. When you install the Windows 11 drivers and plug in this scanner, the computer makes the typical device detected noise, but never makes the scanner initialization noises. Because the drivers don’t work, you can’t use the scanner with VueScan, either. Scanner is effectively a paperweight. I’m assigning one star because it does work on Windows 11 for x86-64.

Epson ES-50 Portable Scanner
I have scanned almost 2000 photos so far and have at least that to go.All things considered, I could not ask for a better scanner. It was inexpensive, portable, plenty fast and just works. Note: outside of scanning the text on the back of pictures and stitching it to the front, I have not done any text scanning. The stitching option is wonderful.The only 3 issues that I have (I tried to explain my work arounds) and I consider them minor are :1. You sometimes have to reorient dark photos or use a light background slightly larger than the photo or the scanner will crop out the dark parts. This is understandable since the rollers are black.2. Very thin high gloss photos have to have constant pressure in and out (manual by pushing and pulling the photo) or the rollers will slip on the picture. Thicker, high gloss photos don’t do this.3. The app needs some work as it appears to be outdated. Won’t do some of the features on larger files as it will crash and close. Work around save the file as is and do what you need to do thru a Microsoft or whatever photo editing app. This only happens on really large pictures.I did not have any problems with gray scale or color scanning at the max 1200BPI (once I figured out the app).

I loved this product when it arrived, but only used it a few times and it just stopped working, despite trying new connections, multiple computers. Instructions say to attach USB directly to computer – my MAC OS laptop doesn’t have a USB port. Big disappointment. Makes me hesitant to order a replacement.
