Can it scan without being connected to a computer?

Yes. The Gigabit Ethernet port lets it scan to network folders and email profiles on its own. A computer is only needed for the initial setup.

Does it scan both sides of a page?

Yes. It has a duplex automatic document feeder that captures both sides in one pass.

Does it work with Macs?

Epson provides drivers and software for Windows and macOS. Check Epson's support page for the version you run before relying on it.

Is it good for high-volume office scanning?

It is built for steady workgroup use rather than print-room volume. The feeder holds a moderate stack, so very large jobs need reloading.

What comes in the box?

The scanner, a power cord, a USB cable and setup software. Network use needs an Ethernet cable, which is not always included.

Our take on the Epson DS-730N Network Color Document Scanner

The Epson DS-730N is a desktop document scanner with a built-in Gigabit Ethernet port, so it can sit on a network and scan to shared folders or email without a PC attached. It scans both sides of a page in one pass and handles stacks through an automatic document feeder. That network connection is the main thing that separates it from USB-only scanners in its class, which usually need a computer nearby. It suits small offices and workgroups that digitize contracts, invoices and forms in volume.
