Bangalore, April 26, 2012 - Epson has made its first foray into scanners, launching a portable A4 model  in India-- the Epson WorkForce DS-30 -- with some smart document management features, normally found only in bulky desktop versions.
 The DS-30 scanner weighs only 325 grams, and can easily fit into most briefcases, and needs only a single USB connection to a notebook or PC to operate. It can scan a variety of items from business cards to A4 and letter sized (8.5 x 11 inch) documents and working with an LED light source rather than a laser, has a low power consumption of only 500mA . The scanner also comes with powerful third-party scanning software that includes Presto! BizCard 5 business card scanner, and ABBYY FineReader Sprint 9 optical character recognition (OCR) software (Microsoft Windows version).
Document management solutions include: Automatic document size detection and skew correction, text enhancement, color dropout. Equipped with ReadyScan LED Technology, the scanners’ LED lamp requires no warm up time and is able to perform immediately with minimum energy consumption, making them extremely environmentally friendly and energy efficient.
Correct Document Skew ( see illustration) – When selected in the options, this feature automatically straightens slanted or misaligned documents in the feeder. The Epson WorkForce DS-30 Portable A4 Scanner costs Rs. 10,999
