Title: Working Great for Me
Review: Despite all the bad reviews I took a chance.I wanted to scan mostly 4x6 photo prints to upload to an on-line site to make a photo book.Figured if it worked and lasted long enough to do 300 pictures, it would pay for itself compared to the cost of getting the scanning done outside.My level of computer savvy is I need a Dummies book to get anything done.So far I have done about 100 scans at 600-which is what the on-line site uses,on my windows 10 computer.Quick and easy to save and upload.I have experienced zero of any of the problems reported by others and am at a loss to understand some of the concerns.1.Software.There was no disk included.Simple link to their web site.Download and install the software.Puts an icon on the desktop.Click on it and operate the unit.Works perfectly with my new windows 10 .Didn't try any of the, to me "fancy" alternate modes,like Professional or scan multiple pages to a single PDF or "stitching",so can't speak to any of that. I just set the resolution and get a nice JPEG digital image.Of course you can't do multiple scans at the highest resolution.Takes too much space on the hard drive.Seems to me some of the negative people may have unrealistically expected high end professional level performance,which you can only get from units at much higher price points.2.Buttons.Don't get this concern.Didn't try them-why would you want to? Scan and save to my computer, so you have to turn it on.Also turns on the scanner.Easy to click on the icon.Used basic screen.Just click on "start scan".3.Borders.The manual that downloads with the software tells you about the minimal edge reduction.Wasn't a problem for me.There are two marks on the lower right hand corner.I just put the photo down by the marks,less than 1/4 inch from the edges.Doesn't have to be exactly square or straight.Program scans it perfectly for me.4.Smudges.People are amazing.Yes if you put your fingers on the glass that isn't good.Exactly like any other scanner.I just put the photo down and move it around by touching the photo. I use a soft plastic tooth pick to lift the photo up a bit off the glass, so I can remove it without touching the glass.Haven't had any problems, nor had to wipe the glass so far.5.Noise.Another concern I don't get.Some people must have very tender ears.The first pass is about 5% louder than my Brother MFC-8660DW, 3 in 1 printer-copier-scanner.Then you get a thumbnail of the scan to decide if you like it.Then the second pass is the same sound as the Brother. All scanners make a noise,don't they?6.Plug.I don't know the technical name but the mini USB end of the 4' cable that plugs into the unit is not exactly robust.The comments alerted me to a possible problem so I plugged it in and put a little duct tape around it and I leave it alone.Just use the other end which is a normal USB, to plug in and out of my desktop.Mostly I leave it plugged in all the time and it automatically turns on when I boot up my computer and off when I log out.6.Time. It takes me 30 seconds to scan a 4x6 photo-from the time I click on start scan until the process is complete.7.Saving.This is another concern I don't get.Probably because I am mostly clueless about computers.When a scan is complete a window pops up automatically, New Scanner under Pictures.The scan is placed there and saved by itself.I drag it to my desktop.The on-line site sees it there when I click on add photos.Drag and upload.Then I make a new folder in Pictures for that book, and drag it off the desktop into the folder.I am sure there are better ways but that works for me.8.Lid. It was heavy enough for me to flatted slightly curled photos.The hinges are a light plastic so I try and be careful.It stands upright while I place another photo.The manual says it is removable to scan bigger items but I haven't tried anything except scanning photos as big as 8x11.Conclusion:I couldn't be happier so far.The unit does exactly what I hoped for at what I consider a bargain price.

Title: Perfection!
Review: I totally love this scanner, it's perfect for what it is and for what I need. I'm not going to compare it to high priced scanners, because that's not what I bought. This was quite economical and I wanted it to scan boxes of family snapshots. I read the reviews and took the other reviewers suggestions to heart.First install your program disc before every attaching the scanner. It went fine for me on a Windows 10 laptop. When I then attached the laptop, per USB port, it powered right up and was recognized by the computer. No power cord needed.I had better luck starting the scan from the icon on the computer that pushing the button on the scanner. There were a couple of times when it didn't communicate, but I didn't have that problem by going right to the icon to bring up the scan box. I scanned in the pre-set auto mode of 300 dpi since I was scanning simple snapshots, in black and white, for viewing. I still have the originals, so if I want to do anything with them I can always rescan at a higher resolution.Initially I was scanning one at a time, and it was going fairly quickly. I could scan, rename, tweak exposure, and file in about a minute to a minute and a half. You can scan several pictures at once, as long as you keep a nice buffer around the edges so that the scanner differentiates separate photos. It takes longer per scan, but goes quicker over all since you're getting multiples at once. Each photo pops up in the pictures folder individually. If they are too close together you get one scan of several images together.I've scanned almost 600 photos already and I'm very pleased with how it's worked. It wasn't noisy as some have complained about. There is some whirring sounds as the mechanism moves over the images, but it's not loud and you know it's working. I found it extremely convenient, very easy to use, and the results more than acceptable. It's lightweight, you don't need a power source other than the computer itself, and very portable. Throw in a price well under $100 and it's a great value. I couldn't be happier.

Title: Good for Basic Scanning Needs
Review: The Epson Perfection V39 is a solid choice for anyone looking to digitize printed photos, book pages, or magazine articles. It handles those tasks well, but if you need to scan film negatives or slides, you'll need to invest in a higher-end model that supports that feature.For most people, the V39 delivers almost everything you'd expect from a flatbed scanner. While itâs not the fastest out there, speed isnât a big issue unless you're scanning a lot of documents. The one downside is that it doesnât have features to make scanning long text documents more efficient, but it makes up for it with convenience. Powered by USB, itâs super easy to store away when not in useâI just keep mine in a desk drawer.If youâre looking for an affordable, no-frills scanner for basic needs, this one works great!

Review: Falaram que era lento e bla bla bla bla, o que comprei não tem nada de lento, na resolução mais rápida é bem ligeiro e para escanear em formato de imagem, tem uma resolução boa.Até agora nada a reclamar.

Review: Mein alter Epsen hat nach 17 Jahren plötzlich den Dienst eingestellt. Der neue kleiner flacher und leichter funktioniert genauso gut. Die Vorteile benötigt kein Netzteil und da er leicht und flach ist pass er in die Lapptop Tasche , so das man gleich beides unterwegs zur Verfügung hat.

Review: Avais avant un Epson depuis 15ans ,c'est une très bonne marque. Malgré le fait qu'il vienne des Pays de l'Est .Compact, avec couvercle entièrement enlevable , prise micro USB , le câble d'un mètre est un peu court .Scanne en 300ppp , un document en 8 secondes , + retour de chariot en dix secondes . En 400ppp , le scanne dure plus longtemps. Reconnaissance automatique du format : un seul passage du chariot et votre document est enregistré !Pilotes a télécharger sur site Epson ,pas de cd/dvd fourni .
