Epson America has announced the availability of Arm-compatible drivers for Windows across its current and select legacy scanner models. As the only scanner brand offering native Arm drivers for Windows across its lineup, Epson is setting the standard for seamless compatibility and top performance in a wide variety of industries including health care, finance, government and enterprise.

"AI-powered computing is accelerating with the rise of AI-focused computers such as the new Copilot+ PCs, many of which are Arm-based," said Haol Yao, product manager, Epson America Inc. "These systems set new performance standards, but not all peripherals are keeping up. By providing Arm-compatible drivers for Windows across our full scanner lineup, we're taking the guesswork out of compatibility across both x86 and Arm devices. This makes Epson scanners fully future-proof, ready for today and tomorrow's Windows devices."

For Arm-based computers to deliver their full potential, scanning solutions need Arm-compatible drivers. Without them, customers risk incompatibility, interruptions and reduced functionality. For supported models, Epson's Windows drivers offer full coverage, working on both Arm and traditional x86 (AMD/Intel) PCs. This broader compatibility allows Epson's partners to address a larger market, supporting users of the next generation of Windows PCs.

Arm drivers are available in Epson's current commercial scanner models. Select legacy scanners will have their drivers released throughout the end of 2025.
