Meet the Epson DS-C490 Premium Compact Scanner - the space-saving genius that punches well above its weight. Designed by Epson, a global leader in imaging innovation, the DS-C490 is your ultimate document digitising sidekick. Whether you're running a busy office or working from a shoebox-sized home setup, this ultra-compact sheetfed scanner is made to make scanning simple, efficient, and downright seamless.

Not only does the DS-C490 reduce your physical paperwork, it also reduces your carbon footprint - made with up to 30% recycled plastic, it's a more sustainable choice for eco-conscious professionals.
