I have an Epson multi-function printer/scanner in my home office and use it almost every day. With the new Epson WorkForce DS-40 wireless portable document scanner, your office can be anywhere. The WorkForce DS-40 is just over one pound and, thanks to Wi-Fi connectivity, it lets you scan directly to a PC, Mac or mobile device on the go.Screenshot 2014 04 28 16 54 17

The Epson WorkForce DS-40 is a wireless portable scanner for smartphones, tablets and computers that goes with you just about anywhere. It is small, light and doesn’t rely on cords and cables to get busy. No, just turn it on and you can be scanning to your computer or mobile device in a matter of seconds. As Epson explains,

Stay organized and go paperless, wherever business takes you, with the WorkForce DS-40 wireless portable document scanner. At 1.1lb, you can easily slip it into your briefcase and go. Quickly scan receipts, business cards and more (up to 8.5″ x 36″1) to smartphones, tablets, laptops or cloud services2 including Google DriveT, Evernote and SharePoint. With tools such as text enhancement, skew correction, Color Enhancement and Color Drop Out, scanning documents into editable text and searchable PDFs has never been easier. It also includes a TWAIN interface to support third-party document management software. Battery-powered and lightweight, the DS-40 is perfect for busy mobile professionals.
