High performance sheetfed scanner

High-volume scanning and easy-to-use, yet advanced processing functions enable efficient and smooth document management.

You can make your business environment more advanced with the global leader in document scanning. If the goal is to get documents to the right place as quickly as possible, choose the WorkForce DS-970, Epson's fastest scanner. High performance is combined with durable construction and ease of use, so you can easily take control of your document management tasks.

Excellent performance
Epson's fastest A4 scanner offers class-leading performance. With its 100-sheet ADF unit, speed of 85 pages/minute or 170 pages/minute, and automatic feeding, the WorkForce DS-970 handles even larger tasks lightning fast and efficiently. On the intuitive panel, you can easily scroll through the preset tasks and even send your documents to the right place with a few button presses. With TWAIN, WIA and ISIS drivers, the device is compatible with many document management systems.

Efficient document processing
Take control of your document handling processes with this scanner, which can handle both 27-413g/m² paper, and a long paper scanning mode that can handle documents up to 6096mm. Three different flatbeds (up to A3 size) are available for documents that cannot be fed through the ADF. In slow mode, the rollers rotate at a slower speed, so there is less friction, making it easier to capture fragile or damaged documents - without increasing the file size. The active separation roller system prevents the papers from sticking together, so that not a page is guaranteed to be scanned, while thanks to the double sheet feed detection (DFDS) function, you can also scan difficult-to-handle media such as envelopes or documents with self-adhesive notes.
