This scanner suits an office, where many people are in line to scan their documents. This Epson is 3-6 times faster than most office scanners and can scan at an outstanding speed of 65 ppm(pages per minute). The scanning quality at this maximum speed is 600 dpi which is high enough for most cases.
Optical Character Recognition(OCR) turns pictures into editable text. Epson DS-860N with its software can do it without mistakes with fonts as small as 6 points. This means that you don't have to make manual edits to the text later to fix mistakes.
This Epson lets you use a stack of up to 85 sheets, when usually you can insert 20-30 pages into your scanner at a time. This saves valuable time in the office, since you can scan all your documents in one go.
You don't have to worry about facing technical difficulties and having to acquire a new scanner for the next 5 years, since that's exactly how outstandingly long the warranty is.
Optical character recognition(OCR), while working quite precisely, is relatively slow. This is true especially when using the default settings. Though, the speed is nothing unbearable, just noticeably slower than a regular scan.
It has an ultrasonic sensor, a technology that detects if there is a double-feeding(multiple pages going through the scanner simultaneously) going on during scanning. You can leave it scanning without worrying if a certain document has been skipped. When scanning large piles of important documents, this feature can save a lot of time and energy.
The Panasonic KV-S1027C can scan up to 45ppm(pages per minute). The scanner is at least twice as fast as an average scanner and this saves valuable time in the office.
