Epson B11B271201 DS-C490 Compact Desktop Document Scanner

Overview :

The Epson B11B271201 (DS-C490) is a high-speed, commercial-grade sheet-fed desktop document scanner engineered for fast-paced corporate departments, healthcare intake, financial services, and legal processing environments. Designed to eliminate spatial friction at frontline desks, this system utilizes a space-saving vertical paper feed loop path. This orientation cuts down physical footprint requirements by up to 60 percent compared to standard flatbed or forward-extending sheet-fed scanners, facilitating integration alongside standard computer terminals.

The device features dual high-sensitivity Contact Image Sensors (CIS) paired with a dual 3-color RGB LED architecture to scan both sides of a document simultaneously. It delivers scanning speeds up to 40 pages per minute (ppm) or 80 images per minute (ipm) at a crisp 300 dpi. A built-in 20-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) handles mixed batches of documents, while specialized intelligent imaging features automate real-time page skew correction, blank page filtering, background cleanup, and active staple protection to prevent paper deterioration.

For non-standard media, the physical chassis reclines backwards into a straight-through tracking alignment. This selection shifts the paper path to safely process rigid plastic ID cards, thick insurance badges, and passports without causing jams or optical sensor distortion. The DS-C490 features a high-speed USB Type-C host interface and includes standard TWAIN and ISIS drivers, ensuring drop-in compatibility with enterprise content management (ECM) software and secure local network repositories.
