When scanning becomes part of the daily production line, speed and feed reliability matter. The Epson DS-870 is built for workgroups that need to move large paper volumes without constant intervention. Its 100-sheet automatic document feeder supports batch capture, while duplex scanning helps reduce handling by reading both sides in a single pass. At 65 ppm in both color and monochrome, this scanner is designed to keep pace with busy intake, records, and back-office environments. That matters when teams are processing forms, invoices, contracts, or customer files and need a device that can stay ahead of demand. The result is less waiting at the scanner and more time moving documents into downstream systems. Compared with lower-tier desktop scanners, the DS-870 earns its place through throughput, feeder capacity, and workgroup readiness. It is the kind of scanner that makes sense when the cost of delays, jams, and rework is higher than the price difference. For organizations that scan every day, that margin is where the value lives.
