It consists of seven buttons and five status LEDs. Of the document scanners mentioned here, the ES-500W comes with the most sophisticated control panel. The ADS-2000e's ADF also holds 50 sheets, and like the two Canon models, it has a duty cycle of just 1,500 scans.

The DR-C225 and the Wi-Fi-capable Canon imageFormula DR-C225W, on the other hand, come with 30-sheet ADFs and have daily duty cycles of just 1,500 scans, while the ScanJet Pro 2000, like the ES-500W, has a 50-sheet ADF, but it's rated at only 2,000 scans per day. The ES-500W and its Wi-Fi-less sibling come with 50-sheet automatic document feeders (ADFs) and are rated at 4,000 scans per day.
As with most sheet-feed document scanners, though, when you extend the input and output trays, the ES-500W's (and its competitors') footprint increases in height and depth significantly.
The Brother ADS-2000e (7.1 by 11.8 by 8.7 inches and 7.3 pounds) is a bit taller, longer, and about a pound lighter. Also close in size but a little lighter than the ES-500W is the entry-level HP ScanJet 2000 (6 by 11.8 by 6.8 and 5.7 pounds). (Canon also offers a Wi-Fi version, the DR-C225W, that lists for $150 more than the non-Wi-Fi model). Measuring 6.6 by 11.6 by 6.9 inches (HWD) with its trays closed, and weighing 8.1 pounds, the ES-500W is a bit shorter, and it weighs 2.1 pounds more, than the Canon DR-C225's 8.7 by 11.8 by 6.1 inches and 6 pounds. We also like it as a personal document scanner, though in that capacity its OCR accuracy falls short of the Editors' Choice HP ScanJet Pro 3000 s3 Sheet-Feed Scanner. Overall, we found the ES-500W impressive, but its mediocre OCR accuracy dinged it just enough to cause it to come up short in dethroning the Editor's Choice Canon imageFormula DR-C225 as our go-to low-to mid-volume document scanner for a small or micro office. Optical character recognition (OCR) accuracy is a bit below average, though, but it comes with a well-rounded software bundle that includes document and business card archiving software.

(Epson does offer a non-Wi-Fi version of the ES-500W, the ES-400, for $50 less.) The ES-500W is fast for its class, and it saves to image and searchable PDF at a good clip for the price. But the ES-500W is somewhat different in that it's not often that we see network functionality on an entry-level scanner like this one. We're seeing an increasing number of network-capable sheet-feed document scanners lately, including the $399.99 Epson WorkForce ES-500W Wireless Duplex Document Scanner we're reviewing here.
