I will launch straight in by informing you that this scanner is definitely not something you should purchase if you intend to use it casually around the home. The cost, and the features, imply that it is far more valuable to a small buisness rather than for personal use.

The GT 15000 is presented in it's packaging, along with the instruction manual, which I may add is very useful in every aspect. From setting the scanner up, to using the features, the manual has it all, and the answers to every question about the scanner will most probably be located in it.


The scanner itself has a large 11.7" x 17" scanning area. Although the design is not in my opinion, the smartest looking deisgn, however it's weight ( 13 kg) and sleek trim design ( 65.6 cm x 45.8 cm x 15.8 cm) makes it perfect for an office environment and takes up little space at all.

One neat feature about this product is the "Automatic document size detection" feature, in which the scanner acknowledges paper size. With that being the case, there is so there is no need for faffing about with any complicated settings. This of course is a benefit so no time at work is wasted, and things can be carried out efficiently.

Refering to the scanners size again, the design allows the scanner to easily cope with everything, ranging from small receipts to large sized scans such as financial reports, which of course is very useful.

The scanner's spped is magnificent. Each scanning task is performed by the scanner at speeds including 16 ppm for monochrome and 10 ppm in color with an optional ADF (letter size, 300 dpi, draft mode). As the instruction manual states: " It (The GT 15000) Enables busy workgroups to share a single scanner ".


This scanner is powerful and boasts a 600 x 1200 dpi resolution and 48-bit color for incredible detail on scans up to 11.7" x 17.

The scanner has a fast startup time and is ready literally within a few seconds. The scanner is capable of whizzing through two-page spreads in one single scan, and is it is capable of accommodating a variety of documents. It even offers an optional automatic document feeder festure, (ADF, for short) which enables scanning from up to 100 sheets without any user intervention, and without sacrificing image quality.


The Epson GT-15000 can quickly accommodate virtually any scanning project. This high-value product even includes fast USB 2.0 and SCSI-2 connectivity, with an optional IEEE 1394 interface. In addition, an optional network card is available, enabling busy workgroups to share a single scanner. This, in addition to the scanners its high-speed operation and incredible versatility gives any user the power required.

So to sum things up: It is simple to set up and use, it speeds through print outs and can take ona variety of scanning projects. However its cost retail price of £761.40p, implies that it is a product much more suited to an office environment. I recommend this to you if you infact do own an office enviornment, if not, you should skip this item for something cheaper and more convinient.
