Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Accurate Color; Good Resolution; Widely Compatible; Works on Network

Epson's WorkForce GT-1500 is a colour document scanner designed to simplify the tedious task of scanning stacks of text documents in an office environment.

I was going to buy an all-in-one for a major purpose of scanning doecuments then found this scanner recommended by web search. I was doubtful about the purchase but once I got it and used it ... It's great. The only drawback is it doesn't have a screen on the scanner.

Very Fast

No on the scanner screen

Had to return the product. When using the ADF, images had a black line down the right side. Could not eliminate. Assistance from Mfg was difficult and they could not correct. Also, the copy speed was so slow it was much faster to scan to desktop then print.

Easy Setup

Inaccurate Scans; Slow

Epson makes thoughtful products - very user friendly and reliable.

Price and delivery time were great; Sheet feeder is a plus, as is its speed

Well built machine. Functions well with good quality scans. Software included takes time to figure out. Works well with existing imaging software. Good machine for the price.

I bought this item when they first hit the market years ago, bought another because I was use to the software and did not want up hill battle learning new. That said the scanning rate auto paper feed is way below advertised specs at 300dpi your looking at about 4-6 sheets per minute.

I will admit that when I first read about this scanner I was hopeful but sceptical, that said have had the scanner for a week now, feel that this is a very good purchase, I have started to archive a lot of old paperwork and am benefitting from the time that I have saved.

The Epson WorkForce GT-1500 ($349.99 direct) represents a new direction for Epson. As the name implies, this scanner is office-centric rather than photocentric, and it's aimed at small offices rather than any of Epson's usual target markets: home users, graphic artists, and photographers.

Low price for a flatbed document scanner; Scans directly to searchable PDF files

Automatic document feeder (ADF) scans one side of the page only; Manual duplex feature is hidden and somewhat cumbersome; Slow

Easy to use and simple in its focus, the Epson WorkForce GT-1500 does an adequate job of photo- and document-scanning.
