Will the Epson WorkForce ES-C380W work?
Yes. Going by Epson's own pages, it can capture today with eSCL (AirScan), a network connection, scan to email, scan to cloud and a TWAIN driver.
A compact wireless desktop scanner with a 2.4-inch touchscreen; its ScanWay feature scans to a USB drive, mobile devices, email or the cloud.
Easiest path to one place
Scan over your network, no driver
This model speaks eSCL (AirScan), so a computer, phone or service on the same network can pull pages straight from it. Nothing to install on each desk.
How it can capture
eSCL / AirScan
YesDriverless network scanning. Apple calls it AirScan, part of AirPrint, and Mopria Scan uses it too. Nothing to install on the computer.
Yes. A Mac can scan with AirPrint without installing anything (Mac only). It also works with Mopria Scan.[2]
TWAIN Direct
Check with usThe newer, driverless TWAIN. Apps reach the scanner over the network with nothing to install.
