Scan to Searchable PDF, blank page removal, Word format

Posted on

Document Capture Pro (DCP) is an excellent, feature-packed and free scanning and filing utility that is included with many of the Epson WorkForce Pro Business Inkjet systems. Document Capture Pro lets users setup different scanning functions such as 2-sided, blank page removal, searchable PDF or OCR scanning to Word, PowerPoint or Excel file formats. When the user goes to the WorkForce machine with their document to scan, they simply search on the WorkForce’s touchscreen for their computer and the specific scan functions they have created in Document Capture Pro will appear. The diagram below provides an overview of this function:

Document Capture Pro can be set to scan to specific folders on your computer or to folders on your network as well as SharePoint, FTP, email, Google Drive, SugarSynch, Evernote, OneNote, OneDrive and DropBox Cloud applications.

Document Capture Pro also supports folder-naming by barcode recognition and zonal OCR.

Currently, the following Epson MFP machines provide Document Capture Pro: WF-M5799 monochrome, WF-M5799 monochrome SuperTank, WF-C5790 color and the WF-C5790 color SuperTank. The high capacity business-class WF-C579R, WF-C878R and WF-C879R also include Document Capture Pro.

How to avoid printer leasing traps

Leasing commercial office equipment (like multifunction copiers/printers) is infamous for “evergreen” clauses, automatic multi-year renewals, and hidden return fees that trap business owners.

To maintain total flexibility and prevent getting locked into an endless contract cycle, use these contract strategies, operational habits, and negotiation tactics.

Key Contract Terms to Negotiate Before Signing

Never sign a standard dealer lease agreement without adding or modifying the following protections:

  • Eliminate Auto-Renewal / Evergreen Clauses: Standard contracts automatically renew for 12 to 24 months if you miss a narrow cancellation-notice window. Always make sure you take note of the cancellation-notice timing.
  • Pay attention to Cancellation Terms: Standard contracts often require written cancellation notice prior to expiration via certified mail. Explicitly allow notice via email.
  • Decouple Equipment Lease from Maintenance/Click Charges: Ensure your equipment lease (the hardware financed through a third-party bank) and your Service Maintenance Agreement (SMA for toner and repairs) are separate agreements. This allows you to adjust or cancel service levels without defaulting on the hardware loan. Also, keep in mind that Service Agreements often include an automatic yearly escalation clauses. It is true that inflation and other factors such as tariffs can impact costs but make sure that these escalation factors are in line with current inflation rates.
  • Structure Fair Market Value (FMV) & Return Terms:
    • Require the lessor to provide the purchase quote 90 days before lease end.
    • Require clear return instructions 60 days in advance.
    • Cap return shipping/de-installation costs or specify a local drop-off facility.

Standard Lease Types Compared

Monthly PaymentLowestSlightly higherHighest
Best Used ForUpgrading equipment every 3–4 yearsKeeping machines long-term (5–7+ yrs)Seasonal or uncertain business needs

Checklist to Avoid Renewal Traps

  1. Log Expiration Dates Immediately: On the day you sign, add two calendar reminders: one 180 days before expiration (to evaluate equipment needs) and one 120 days before expiration (to issue non-renewal notice).
  2. Send Non-Renewal Notice Early: Do not wait until you decide to swap machines. Send a certified written non-renewal notice 120 days before lease end stating your intent to return or pay off the machine upon completion.
  3. Audit Overage & Page Rates: Monitor your actual volume quarterly. If you pay for 10,000 prints/month but only print 4,000, negotiate down your baseline allowance to avoid overpaying on unprinted pages.
  4. Avoid Roll-Over Refinancing: Dealers often offer to pay off your remaining 6 months on a current lease if you upgrade early. That remaining balance is simply rolled into your new lease, compounding debt over time. Always run out the existing term unless the equipment is completely non-functional.
