The editing software that comes with the DS-40 is wonderful for making notes*** or commenting directly on the PDF document that you created by scanning with the DS-40. Overall, the value of the device by far exceeds it's very modest price. Compared to any flat bed scanner or catch and copy type fax machines, this portable scanner is a perfect compromise between price, value and quality output. I rated the Epson DS-40 5 stars and I further recommend the Epson DS-40 as your first choice in scanner technology.  Whether you use the device and bundled software at your desk, or \"on the fly\" in your mobile services business, you will find that the Epson DS-40 will quickly become one of your \"go to\" tools for managing (or expanding) your current business needs.\r\n\r\n* Requires 4 AA batteries and configuring device for the host Wi-Fi network.\r\n** Requires device USB to computer in-put cable and AC power source to device power cord, both included with DS-40  purchase.\r\n***Requires user defined, customizable, or standard bundled software installation to the host desktop or laptop computer.  Notes are \"hidden\" within the PDF document until hovered over by mouse, and are not displayed when document is printed. Comments are directly \"written\" onto the PDF document and are visible on both the monitor while editing the document and on the paper when the document is printed.","name":"Excellnt Portable Device and PDF Editing Software Bundle"},{"@type":"Review","@id":"https://epson.com/Certified-ReNew/Scanners/Epson-WorkForce-DS-40-Color-Portable-Scanner/p/B11B225201#review-171520541","datePublished":"2021-01-12","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"2","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"reviewBody":"We bought this scanner a couple of years ago and have had many, many issues with it connecting (and staying connected) to my Mac.

Either hard wired or wi-fi the unit works really well. I make a lot of notes at work on pieces of rough paper, so it is great that I can just take the scanner to work and use it at my desk to scan in my notes. We have a couple of \"industrial\" scanners only about sixty feet from my desk, but using the DS-40 allows me to scan while I'm still sitting at my desk, as soon as I realize that I need to scan any notes; I then put the scanned notes into a OneNote page and it is building up my \"database\" of usefull stuff that I do at work. I'm an IT professional, so I have come across a lot of hardware in my time (going back a long way, to printed cards and acoustic couplers) this is one of the best investments I ever made. I use it for scanning receipts, printed bills and all sorts of other stuff (including my kids grade cards) while I'm at home, it,s especially useful when I don't want to get out my full size printer/scanner.","name":"great little scanner"},{"@type":"Review","@id":"https://epson.com/Certified-ReNew/Scanners/Epson-WorkForce-DS-40-Color-Portable-Scanner/p/B11B225201#review-113347082","datePublished":"2018-05-13","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"1","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"reviewBody":"I am having difficulty downloading this scanner to my laptop.

Lastly, the included cable is just for power, not for scanning.  This is clear enough if you read details in manual, but it's a disappointment, and should be made crystal clear.

My advice to users that have little or no experience using scanners. 1. Read the instructions on using the product. 2. Use the product. 3. Practice. 4. Read the instructions on using the desired application software. 5. Practice using a single application to gain confidence. 6. If you run into a problem. 7. Try again and don't give up. 8. Slowly add an additional application.\r\n9. There are all sorts of YOUTUBE videos out there; watch them even if they are for different portable scanners. 10.

Very convenient, as I do not have to lift the flatbed cover on my all in one.\r\nBut I have two gripes:\r\n1) When I installed the software for the DS-40, somehow the scanner in the all in one is locked out & no longer available.\r\n2) It will only scan to PDF.  At times I need a JPG scan, but with the all in one locked out, that is no longer an option.","name":"Works very well"},{"@type":"Review","@id":"https://epson.com/Certified-ReNew/Scanners/Epson-WorkForce-DS-40-Color-Portable-Scanner/p/B11B225201#review-84910611","datePublished":"2017-03-14","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"4","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"reviewBody":"Its always a bother initializing, but once your connected its smooth sailing.","name":"Great size!"},{"@type":"Review","@id":"https://epson.com/Certified-ReNew/Scanners/Epson-WorkForce-DS-40-Color-Portable-Scanner/p/B11B225201#review-82089168","datePublished":"2017-02-13","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"reviewBody":"I see clients in their homes occasionally and didn't want to have to take documents back to the office.

In order to networking DPS must be enabled on my router ATT Uverse 2Wire.  There's no DPS setting on the router so then there's a string of directions to set  It wants a router with dps which my 2wire ATT doesn't have.  Having to add To DPS is beyond me.  The directions are way too complicated.  Even the USB setup directions were hard to follow.  I've worked with computers since 1986 (remember the IBM PC) and am able to solve most problems.  There are many different setups to be done.  Some didn't run.  Now USB is working but the Scan from Scanner button needs Document Capture installed and it doesn't even load.","name":"Frustration!"}]}
