The GT-1500 was bought for home use to replace an existing scanner. I needed to scan a whole lot of documents for archive purposes and the GT-1500, with its document feeder seemed to be ideal.

This scanner can not be shared on the network when connected to a Mac. It has least reliable paper pickup mechanism than any (HP, Xeros, Ricoh, ...) ADF I have seen in my life. The driver (last version for OSX dated June 2009) is awful and routinely crashes.

I bought the GT 1500 to archive documents. My first project was a 420 page document which I have scanned as a single PDF. The document feeder worked really well and in less than an hour I had a OCR PDF file of the document - very impressed.

I searched long and hard to find the best scanner for clearing and organizing the piles of backlogged documents in my office. Unfortunately this scanner came without any CDs, paper docs or, most importantly, the OCR software (ABBYY app) that it's advertised with.

This has to be among the worst scanners I have had the displeasure of using. The sheet feeder is useless, hardly ever picks up the paper first time.

great scanner easy to use. The foot print is good. I like the capability of having both the document feeder and the flat top option to scan. With the right software also makes the use ideal for a paperless office.

It seemed to do fine but I travel in my job and this was way too bulky. I need something smaller and portable. I will just have to keep looking.

work perfect, save a lot of time, great scanning from glass and paper feed.

The scanner is much quicker than our old one, and the quality is better. The price point is right. I do wish we were able to connect it to our network though.

when one page can't go through, the scanner can't connect to computer anymore,I have to shutdown computer..And may times just showed error message: Epson Scan cannot be started.
