its automatic feed mode, the WorkForce DS-970 gets through large jobs quickly
and efficiently. Scroll through pre-defined jobs easily using the intuituve panel

TWAIN, WIA and ISIS drivers are available for enhanced compatibility with

Efficient document processing
Stay in control of the document process with a scanner capable of scanning a
wide range of media from 27gsm to 413gsm and a long paper scanning mode
up to 6096mm. For documents that cannot be scanned via the ADF – three
different flatbed solutions are available up to A3 in size. Slow mode decreases
document friction by reducing the speed of the rollers, making it easier to
capture fragile or damaged documents, without increasing file sizes. The Active
Separation Roller System prevent document double feeds, ensuring that every
piece of paper gets scanned, and the Double Feed Detection Skip (DFDS)
function means you can scan difficult media like envelopes or documents with
post-it notes.
