Epson DS-32000 Large-Format High-Speed Duplex Document Scanner B11B255201

 

The Epson DS-32000 Large-Format Document Scanner B11B255201 delivers exceptional speed, durability and media flexibility for high-volume businesses that need to capture both standard and oversized documents.

Featuring scan speeds up to 90 ppm / 180 ipm, a large 120-sheet Automatic Document Feeder, single-pass duplex scanning and an impressive 40,000-sheet peak daily duty cycle, the DS-32000 is engineered for demanding production-level document workflows.

Its flexible design provides both vertical and horizontal feed positions, allowing the scanner to process everything from everyday office paperwork and 12″-wide large-format originals to folded documents, sealed envelopes, plastic cards, passports and delicate media.

Epson DS-32000 High-Performance Large-Format Scanner

The Epson DS-32000 combines production-level scanning performance with a compact desktop design.

Its high-capacity Automatic Document Feeder processes large batches with minimal interruption while single-pass duplex technology captures both sides of each sheet simultaneously.

Maximum scanning performance reaches:

90 ppm — Pages Per Minute
180 ipm — Images Per Minute

With a peak daily duty cycle of up to 40,000 sheets, the DS-32000 is designed for organizations where document scanning is a major part of everyday operations.

Exceptional 40,000-Sheet Daily Capacity

The Epson DS-32000 is built for organizations with extremely demanding scanning requirements.

Its 40,000-sheet peak daily duty cycle makes it particularly well suited for environments such as:

• Central document-processing departments
• Government agencies
• Banks and financial institutions
• Healthcare organizations
• Medical records departments
• Insurance companies
• Universities
• Legal document centers
• Corporate records departments
• Accounting operations
• Document conversion companies
• Service bureaus
• Enterprise records management

For organizations that routinely process thousands or even tens of thousands of sheets, the DS-32000 provides considerably more capacity than a conventional workgroup scanner.

Ultra-Fast 90 ppm / 180 ipm Scanning

The DS-32000 is rated for scanning speeds up to:

90 ppm / 180 ipm at 300 dpi

in black-and-white, grayscale or color.

The maximum advertised speed is based on A4 documents loaded in landscape orientation.

At higher 600 dpi resolution, scanning speed is reduced, allowing users to choose between maximum throughput and higher-resolution document capture depending upon the job.

High-Capacity Automatic Document Feeder

ADF capacity varies according to the size and weight of the documents being scanned.

At standard paper weights, Epson specifies approximately:

Letter / A4: Up to 120 sheets
A3: Up to 60 sheets

Other supported feeder capacities include approximately:

Business Cards: Up to 30
Postcards: Up to 40
Envelopes: Up to 10
Carrier Sheets: Up to 10
Non-Embossed Plastic Cards: Up to 5
Embossed Plastic Cards: 1 at a time
Passport: 1 with optional passport carrier sheet
Long Documents: 1 at a time

This flexibility allows one scanner to process an unusually broad range of business originals.

Large-Format 12″-Wide Scanning

One of the DS-32000’s greatest advantages is its ability to scan originals up to 12 inches wide.

This allows businesses to process:

• A3 documents
• 11″ x 17″ paperwork
• Ledger-size documents
• Financial spreadsheets
• Engineering documents
• Oversized reports
• Maps
• Drawings
• Large forms
• Business records

Standard large-format originals can be fed directly without folding.

Flexible Vertical and Horizontal Feed Positions

The DS-32000’s adjustable scanner position is one of the features that sets it apart from conventional document scanners.

Vertical Feed Position

The vertical configuration is designed for efficient high-volume scanning of standard documents.

It provides fast feeding while maintaining a relatively compact desktop footprint.

Horizontal Feed Position

The scanner can also be positioned horizontally for specialty media such as:

• Sealed envelopes
• Folded originals
• Delicate documents
• Thick paperwork
• Specialty media

This flexible paper path allows the DS-32000 to accommodate document types that can be difficult for ordinary sheet-fed scanners.

Extra-Long Document Scanning

The Epson DS-32000 can scan unusually long documents.

Maximum document sizes include approximately:

12″ x 220″ at 200 dpi
12″ x 215″ at 300 dpi
12″ x 53″ at 600 dpi

Long-document capability can be particularly useful for:

• Continuous business records
• Transaction reports
• Medical documents
• Financial records
• Long receipts
• Specialized forms
• Industrial documentation

Passport Scanning

The DS-32000 can scan compatible passports when used with the optional Passport Carrier Sheet B12B819651.

Supported passports can be up to approximately 6 mm thick including the passport carrier sheet.

Passport scanning makes this model useful for environments such as:

• Government offices
• Financial institutions
• Healthcare registration
• Human resources departments
• Travel-related organizations
• Customer-verification operations

Plastic and Embossed Card Scanning

The DS-32000 can scan compatible plastic cards.

Maximum card thickness is approximately:

1.24 mm with embossing
1.1 mm without embossing

Applications include:

• Identification cards
• Insurance cards
• Membership cards
• Employee cards
• Customer identification
• Embossed plastic cards

Up to five compatible non-embossed plastic cards may be loaded, while embossed cards are fed individually.

Sealed Envelope Scanning

The horizontal paper path allows the DS-32000 to handle compatible sealed envelopes.

Up to approximately 10 envelopes can be loaded depending upon size, thickness and condition.

This capability can be useful when envelope information must be preserved as part of an electronic record.

Folded and Irregular Original Scanning

The DS-32000 can also handle folded documents and other specialty originals.

Optional carrier sheets are useful for:

• Fragile documents
• Photos
• Torn originals
• Wrinkled paperwork
• Irregularly shaped originals
• Valuable documents requiring additional protection

For delicate photographs, artwork and important originals, using a carrier sheet provides added protection rather than feeding the original directly through the scanner.

Power Separation Mode

A particularly useful feature of the DS-32000 is Power Separation Mode.

Power Separation Mode increases the force used to separate documents when processing difficult batches.

This can help with paperwork that tends to feed multiple sheets together.

It should not be used with very thin or delicate originals where additional separation force could damage the document.

Delicate Document Handling

For thin, old or fragile paperwork, the DS-32000 provides several features designed to improve document protection.

These include:

• Slow Mode
• Paper Protection
• Delicate feeding options
• Adjustable paper separation
• Ultrasonic Double-Feed Detection
• Double-Feed Detection Skip
• Skew detection
• Automatic Feeding Mode
• Glass Dirt Detection

Together, these features help the scanner accommodate a broader variety of document conditions.

Ultrasonic Double-Feed Detection

Ultrasonic sensors monitor documents as they enter the scanner.

If two or more sheets appear to be feeding together, the scanner can detect the condition and stop the job before pages are accidentally missed.

Double-feed detection can also be bypassed when intentionally scanning originals such as envelopes or documents containing overlapping materials.

Paper Protection

The DS-32000 includes Paper Protection technology.

The scanner monitors document feeding for signs of abnormal skewing or other feeding problems.

If a potentially damaging condition is detected, scanning can be stopped before the original travels farther through the paper path.

This is especially valuable when processing originals that cannot easily be replaced.

2.7-Inch Color Touchscreen

The DS-32000 includes a programmable 2.7-inch color touchscreen.

The control panel provides convenient access to:

• Scanning jobs
• Scanner settings
• Feeding modes
• Paper Protection settings
• Slow Mode
• Double-feed settings
• Maintenance information
• Scanner status
• Error information

This allows users to control many common functions directly from the scanner.

Powerful Document Management with OCR

Included Epson document-management software helps convert paper records into useful digital information.

Users can create:

• Searchable PDF files
• Multi-page PDFs
• Editable Microsoft Word files
• Editable Microsoft Excel files
• Editable Microsoft PowerPoint files
• Customized scan jobs
• Repeatable document workflows
• Electronic archives

OCR — Optical Character Recognition — recognizes printed text within scanned documents so information can be searched, copied and reused.

Professional Software Integration

The DS-32000 supports TWAIN and ISIS® drivers, making it suitable for integration with a wide range of document-management systems.

Potential applications include:

• Enterprise content management
• Healthcare records systems
• Banking and financial applications
• Insurance workflows
• Government records management
• Legal document systems
• Accounting applications
• Document conversion services
• Archival systems
