Back to the Office
Epson WorkForce DS-970 is a high‑performance, sheet‑fed document scanner designed for demanding business environments. With its robust build, rapid throughput, and versatile connectivity, it delivers reliable digitisation of large volumes of paper while maintaining exceptional image quality.
Scanning Speed: 85 pages per minute (ppm) in monochrome for A4 documents; 170 ppm when colour scanning is enabled. The rapid throughput makes it ideal for back‑office processing, archiving, and document management workflows.
Resolution & Image Quality: 600 × 600 dpi optical resolution ensures crisp text and clear graphics. The CIS (Contact Image Sensor) technology combined with a high‑intensity LED light source provides consistent illumination across the entire scan area, reducing shadows and glare.
Daily Duty Cycle: Rated for up to 9 000 pages per day, which guarantees long‑term reliability even under heavy use. The scanner’s robust internal components are engineered to withstand continuous operation without compromising performance.
Auto Document Feeder (ADF): Holds up to 100 sheets in a single load, with an input capacity that supports media weights from 27 g/m² to 413 g/m². This flexibility allows the scanner to handle everything from thin letterhead to thicker legal-size documents.
Duplex Scanning: The DS‑970 can scan both sides of a page in one pass, effectively halving the time required for double‑sided documents and reducing paper handling errors.
Colour & Monochrome Modes: While primarily a monochrome scanner (1‑bit depth), it also supports colour scanning with a 24‑bit output depth. This dual capability is useful for businesses that occasionally need to capture coloured graphics or photographs embedded in documents.
Paper Sizes: The scanner accepts all standard ISO A‑series sizes up to A3, as well as B‑series (B4, B5, B6) and legal/letter formats. This wide range accommodates business cards, plastic cards, and other specialty media.
File Formats: Output can be saved directly in BMP, JPEG, PDF, PNG, TIFF. The built‑in compression options (IFF with JPEG(7), CCITT G4, LZW) allow users to balance file size against image fidelity.
USB 3.0 Interface: The scanner uses a USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) port, ensuring fast data transfer speeds and low latency when connected to modern workstations.
Software Ecosystem: Epson’s bundled software suite includes Document Capture Pro 2.0, Epson Device Admin, and Epson Scan 2. These applications provide advanced workflow tools, device management, and easy integration with document capture systems.
Operating System Support: Compatible with a wide range of platforms: Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP SP3; Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and later; as well as various Windows Server editions (2003, 2008, 2012 R2). The scanner also supports standard drivers such as SANE, TWAIN, WIA, making it straightforward to integrate into existing IT infrastructures.
Dimensions: 296 mm (width) × 169 mm (depth) × 167 mm (height). The compact footprint allows the DS‑970 to fit comfortably on a typical office desk without sacrificing functionality.
Weight: 3.6 kg, which balances portability with stability during high‑volume scanning sessions.
Display: A 3.68 cm (1.45") LCD screen provides real‑time feedback on scan status and allows users to adjust settings directly from the device.
The scanner operates on a standard AC input of 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz, making it suitable for global deployment. Typical power consumption is 20 W, with standby and sleep modes drawing only 8.5 W and 1.4 W respectively. The low off‑state consumption (0.1 W) helps reduce overall energy costs in high‑usage environments.
Operating Temperature: 5–35 °C; Humidity: 15–80 %. These parameters ensure reliable performance across a wide range of office climates.
Storage Conditions: 25–60 °C temperature and 15–85 % relative humidity, allowing the scanner to be stored safely when not in use.
The DS‑970 supports standard network protocols such as TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS, SNMP, SLP, enabling remote configuration and monitoring. Epson Device Admin provides centralized device management, allowing IT administrators to deploy firmware updates, configure scanning profiles, and enforce security policies across multiple units.
Epson WorkForce DS‑970 combines high throughput, exceptional image quality, and versatile media handling in a durable, energy‑efficient package. Whether you need rapid bulk digitisation of legal documents, efficient archiving of business records, or flexible scanning for mixed media types, this scanner delivers reliable performance that scales with your organization’s demands.
