 Take Work Home User May 24, 2008
Unfortunately I carry work home. As a business owner with a steady influx of information, I have tried to stay as electronic as possible with the storage of this information. I have two document scanners in my office that get used reguarly and wanted to upgrade at home from the flatbed scanners I have used for years. I researched options and truthfully, the Epson GT2500 was the least expensive one with good reviews. This scanner has been in service in my home for two years and there have been no equipment issues. I am able to create electronic documents of my typical 5 to 15 sheets in very reasonable time. Double sided scans are a little slow, but there has been only one jam in the 2 years, created by me not separating a previously stapled document, so three sheets went through the scanner. This scanner does exacly what I need when I work at home. I recommend this machine for users that need more than a flatbed for documents scanning. I would not use this machine in an office with more than 3 to 4 people; a little too slow.

I bought this puppy when I discovered the TWAIN driver for my EPSON perfection scanner was not compatible with omnipage 16. After using the gt 2500 several hours a day for a month, we have experienced no problems so far. Seems to be fast and efficient and I would recommend it with omnipage 16 if you want to create a paperless office and turn documents into searchable PDF Files.
 WARNING when buying Epson products April 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
PURCHASE YOUR EPSON PRODUCT THROUGH AN AUTHORIZED DEALER OR FROM EPSON DIRECTLY.
This is not a review of this product, but rather a word to the wise... Two and half months after my purchase of an Epson 10000XL scanner through Amazon, it stopped working. Through the followup and tech support process I learned that, because I purchased through Amazon, the manufacturer nor the seller would honor the 1 year warranty. Epson's position is that Amazon is not an authorized seller and that they merely act as broker for what can often be re-furbished or second hand merchandise.
So, should your purchase break or malfunction, as mine did, you are out of luck with regard to warranty.
This lesson cost me $2400.00
I'm Impressed January 25, 2008

I've just installed the scanner on a dual-boot Mac Tiger and Vista with no problems - works great on both. First delight was putting in a 50 page bw double-sided document and watching it smoothly and quickly become a pdf. The machine just 'feels' good - solid, nice fit and finish, and the software seems 'quite good' That's the only reason for 4 stars vs 5 at this point -- I have a sense that there will be a few little convenience issues in the user interface that I may not love. No showstoppers but little things like things flow and the options it does or doesn't provide. I'll feed back any suggestions to Epson and hope for response in new releases. Bottom line - I've had HP's and this seems as good and even better in the feel so-far.
 Awful warranty and customer service September 23, 2007

I purchased this scanner because of the automatic document feeder (ADF), and because a cheaper competitor had given me nothing but trouble. This scanner worked great, for a couple of days, and then the ADF jammed. I followed the online instructions, but it remained jammed, so I emailed epson at customer service. I got back an email saying they would contact me soon; I didn't hear back, and so I called them on the phone and waited 20 minutes for a customer service representative. I explained that this machine was less than a week old and that the ADF was not working properly. The customer service representative politely explained that she could help me, and then said I had two options. She said I could have it repaired at my expense or they would sell me another one at a discount under their customer loyalty program. I was in shock: after waiting on hold for 20 minutes I was told the warranty meant I could pay to get it fixed or buy another one at a discount; that is basically no warranty at all, especially for a machine a couple of days old. I emailed customer service again to ask if this was truly all the warranty covered, and never got a response. I thought about returning the item, but decided to take it apart and see what the problem was. Since I'm mechanically inclined I did so, and was able to fix it myself fairly easily. But nobody should have to do this, and most buyers would be unable to do it. I hadn't abused the scanner (I'd hardly used it), and any warranty at all should have covered this problem. The scanner now works great, but I realize that epson will not stand behind their products and has terrible customer support; the warranty is meaningless.
