Product Features
Technical Overview
The DS-870's technical architecture centers on its high-speed scanning engine that achieves 65 pages per minute for both color and monochrome documents, translating to 130 images per minute in duplex mode. This performance is supported by a 600 dpi optical sensor that provides true hardware resolution without software interpolation, ensuring sharp text and accurate image reproduction.
Color fidelity is maintained through 30-bit color depth processing, which captures over 1 billion colors for lifelike document reproduction, while the 30-bit grayscale depth preserves 1,073 shades of gray for superior black-and-white document scanning. The scanner handles diverse media types including plastic cards, ID cards, embossed cards, business cards, and standard paper documents up to 8.50 inches wide and 20 feet long, accommodating everything from standard letter documents to continuous form documents.

FAQ
What is the maximum scanning speed of the Epson DS-870 scanner?
The Epson WorkForce DS-870 scans at 65 pages per minute for both color and monochrome documents. In duplex mode, this translates to 130 images per minute since both sides of each document are scanned simultaneously. This high-speed performance makes it suitable for workgroups that need to process large volumes of documents efficiently without creating bottlenecks in document digitization workflows.
What types of media can the DS-870 scanner handle?
This scanner accommodates a wide range of media types including standard paper documents, plastic cards, ID cards, embossed cards, and business cards. It supports custom media sizes up to 8.50 inches wide and 20 feet long, making it versatile enough for everything from letter-sized documents to continuous form documents. The 100-sheet automatic document feeder is designed to handle mixed media batches efficiently.
Does the DS-870 support duplex scanning?
Yes, the DS-870 features automatic duplex scanning capability that processes both sides of documents in a single pass through the scanner. This doubles throughput efficiency compared to single-sided scanning and eliminates the need to manually flip documents. The duplex function works for both color and monochrome scanning at the full 65 ppm speed, making it ideal for double-sided documents like contracts, reports, and forms.
What operating systems are compatible with this scanner?
The Epson WorkForce DS-870 is compatible with both Mac OS and Windows operating systems. It connects via USB interface, typically using USB 3.0 for optimal data transfer speeds. The scanner works with standard scanning software included with these operating systems as well as third-party document management applications, ensuring easy integration into existing office IT environments without requiring specialized drivers or complex configuration.
How does the 30-bit color depth benefit document scanning?
The 30-bit color depth enables the scanner to capture over 1 billion colors, providing exceptional color accuracy and subtle tonal variations that are essential for scanning color documents, photographs, and graphics. This high color depth ensures that scanned documents maintain their original appearance with realistic color reproduction, making it suitable for applications where color fidelity matters, such as marketing materials, design documents, or archival scanning of color-critical materials.
What is included in the warranty coverage for this scanner?
Epson provides a three-year limited warranty for the WorkForce DS-870 scanner, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This extended warranty period reflects the product's reliability and durability in workgroup environments.
