Description

When integrated with PaperVision Tools, Epson WorkForce document scanners can be configured to scan directly to PaperVision Enterprise or to ImageSilo with the touch of a button. Note that the following steps were created using an Epson WorkForce DS-70000 Document Scanner. Depending on the particular model, scanner options may vary. Only scanner models that include either the Epson Event Manager or Document Capture Pro software can use this functionality.
