It looks pretty on my desk, hope it is made operational soon. It seems like a good machine and probably will prove to be so once the connectivity drivers for Mavericks are ready for us lowly users.

Speed for price
won't scan cards or envelopes
Epson lists the Epson WorkForce DS-510 on its website under workgroup scanners, and, indeed, it offers enough capability for a small office or workgroup. However, the low price and small size make it a strong candidate for a personal desktop scanner as well.
Automatic document feeder; Duplex (two-sided) scanning; Excellent text recognition and document management

This is an extremely powerful but compact scanner. Purchased primarily for multi sheet capability. Full marks Epson on this machine
Once very expensive, high speed document scanners are now a lot more affordable due, mainly, to competition between vendors. Speeds and specifications have also risen across the board making it even harder to choose between the various offerings.
Epson lists the Epson WorkForce DS-510($753.99 at Amazon) on its website under workgroup scanners, and, indeed, it offers enough capability for a small office or workgroup. However, the low price and small size make it a strong candidate for a personal desktop scanner as well. More important, its fast speed, 50-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF), and bundled software make it a good fit for either role. It doesn't offer quite enough to replace the Canon imageFormula DR-C125 as Editors' Choice, but it comes in a close second. Both of these scanners do an excellent job for optical character recognition (OCR) and document management, and they both offer similar raw scan speeds, with Epson rating the DS-510 at 26 pages per minute (ppm) and 52 images per minute (ipm)—with one image on each side of a page. The Canon DR-C125 is a little faster at text recognition and it does a better job with business cards, but it also costs more. Setup and SoftwareAt a compact 6.1 by 11.7 by 6.0 in...

The Canon and Fujitsu scanners have stiff competition indeed from this handy little Epson. Robust but ruthlessly effective, it's reasonably fast and comes with powerful software. The standard DS-510, in particular, is very good value for money for serious businesses who have lots of paperwork to convert to a digital format.
Not that there's anything wrong with orthodox when the result is as accomplished as the Epson. The device is compact when folded up, but the lid is easily pushed back to convert this model into a substantial sheet-fed design.
The Epson WorkForce DS-510 is robust but ruthlessly effective, it's also reasonably fast and comes with powerful software. Read our Epson WorkForce DS-510 review to find out more.
I purchased this scanner to be able to scan double sided documents to PDF with the option to use OCR. This scanner is fast with simple software to allow you to ignore blank pages and auto correction for pages that aren't straight in the feeder.
