Features for Productivity

Below we’ll find out some of the features of the ES-60w wireless portable scanner that should help you work efficiently. This is a tricky one because half the scanners in its class do and half don’t.

The only problem in productivity is that this is not a duplex document scanner.

This compact mobile document scanner detects the color mode for your document and exports it accordingly. It exports Black & White in 1-bit depth, Grayscale in 8-bit, and color in 24-bit. You don’t have to worry about selecting the color variation and size of the document for each scan.

You don’t need to make sure whether the document is upside down each time you use a scanner. The scanner automatically adjusts the angle of the image.

For example, if a portrait inside the scanner is put at 180 degrees, it’ll rotate the picture to 90 degrees.

This feature saves you some time and energy by automatically cropping out the image. The result is when the image is scanned it won’t have black edges around its corners. .

Quality of images

The scanner features multiple algorithms that enhance the scanned images.

The first is the one that aligns the documents so that they are straight when scanned. The file may not be appropriately aligned due to dirty feed rollers or simply because the operator has not aligned them properly. In either case, you don’t have to worry about it because the Automatic Deskew feature takes care of it. The Punch Hole Removal feature ensures that documents don’t have holes punched through them and look neat. OCR (Optical Character Recognition) Often you’ll need to edit the document later, the OCR the engine will help you do this by converting an image into an editable file such as PDF or Word Document.

This function is essential in a scanner, so we recommend you shouldn’t buy one without it..
