With a screen size of 1.44", users get a clear display of job contents at a glance and can even view and assign up to 30 jobs at a time on the panel. Operate the scanner easily using push scan functions and change scan settings directly from the panel without having to use a PC.
Automatic Size Recognition
Place documents of different sizes ranging from A6 to A4 in the middle of the feeding tray and the DS-970 will automatically detect and scan everything in the correct size, all in a single batch.
Flatbed Option
With the optional Flatbed Dock, the Epson Perfection V39II can be used together with the scanners to provide a flatbed option for users who need to scan objects such as books, or small and fragile documents that can be easily damaged such as receipts.
Scan Fragile and A3 Documents Easily
Scan small and fragile documents, as well as A3-sized documents, using a carrier sheet that can be automatically detected by the scanners. Alternatively, you may scan fragile documents without using a carrier sheet by turning on the Slow Scan Mode.

Automatic Feeding Mode enables large volumes of documents to be scanned continuously. Double Feed Detection Skip function activates to scan documents with stickers and labels. Paper Protection Function features automatic stop upon detection of abnormal paper feeding or stapled/folded paper.
Epson Scan 2 - Text Enhancement
