The ES-580W features an intuitive 4.3" touchscreen for quick, effortless navigation, and a 100-sheet auto document feeder so users can breeze through stacks of documents with varying paper types and sizes in one batch.

All three high-performance document scanners boast fast scan speeds of up to 35 ppm/70 ipm⁴ and include intuitive Epson ScanSmart^® Software⁵ so users can easily preview, email and upload scans.
