Working Great for Me
Despite all the bad reviews I took a chance.I wanted to scan mostly 4×6 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 4×6 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 8×11.Conclusion:I couldn’t be happier so far.The unit does exactly what I hoped for at what I consider a bargain price.

Everything that I ever wanted out of a very low cost flatbed
I needed to replace my 10+ year old Epson flatbed, which after many years of faithful service finally gave up the ghost in a cacophony of grinding plastic gears. I was very attracted to this unit because of its low price, its very thin conformation, and its promise of taking up so little room through the use of their clever ‘kickstand’. However, I was very concerned that considering that it was powered exclusively by the standard USB 5v DC provided power feed, that it would either under-perform or refuse to work at all (I had been previously burned by an experience with an allegedly USB powered Blu-Ray drive). But the prospect of getting the advantages mentioned above held sway in my decision; nowadays a seventy five dollar (tax included) roll of the dice is not what once it may have been.As it turns out, I’m now two weeks into my use I am thrilled to death. I have actually gained in both scan quality and resolution over my old dinosaur, which I guess should come as little surprise considering the speed of technological innovation in both the computer and the imaging sectors. On top of that, I was very pleased to find that the unit has not shown the first sign of being under-powered. In some of the Amazon customer reviews, I had read some comments about the machine being rather loud. I suppose that such things are relative, my new unit is neither louder nor quieter than my old dinosaur, so personally I don’t much mark any difference. However, there’s just enough operating noise in both that I’m sure that younger folks who are used to better might understandably feel just a little more sensitive to the effects than I. I guess that I might be as much a dinosaur as my old unit. For that matter the scan speed from both units pretty much matched (the newer one might win by a nose), so I guess that with me the same logic applies for that.I did experience a minor hiccough when installing the driver; that was apparently caused by my ignorance and my resultant failure to first uninstall the previous incarnation of Epson driver, a simple uninstall and reinstall solved the problem in quick order. Just for fun, I tried out the bundled OCR software; I say just for fun because I have little real cause to use such a program. I found it to be just a tad too inconsistent in its performance for my tastes, so again just for fun I got onto the internet seeking a better path. I finally found a highly rated commercial software called TopOCR, which sells for a whopping $4.99 U.S.D. (apparently not a sale price, and a free limited trail is offered). If you noted my previous comment about seventy five dollar rolls of the dice, you will not be surprised that a paid copy wound up on my HD. This decision was reinforced when I tried the aforementioned limited free trial, it proved to be quite noticeably superior in its fidelity to original content.So based on that, I have decided to give the unit a full five stars. That said, however, there are some things that perhaps I should make clear to any potentially incautious people; to me they are all things that should be immediately obvious from the unit’s very low price point. This unit is rather lightly built, speaking both with regards to both mass and to durability/rigidity. It is quite apparent that the design duty usage cycle level is not of the very highest order. That sort of stuff is clearly best found in a unit which is sold at a higher price point. But for my ‘retired old-guy on a pension’ purposes, it seems to show great promise. So if you have a house full of mechanically over-inquisitive kiddies or if you intend to digitize that 40 year old heritage family copy of Encyclopedia Britannica, you might want to try batting in a slightly higher league.

Update of Review – Not Impossible to Install After All
Update: I finally did get the Epson software downloaded and installed on both Windows 7 and finally on Windows11, too. It isn’t intuitive and took multiple attempts. The scanner works on Windows 7, but it isn’t fast. It works on Windows 11 and if used on a USB 3.0/3.1 port it’s pretty sprightly.I’m much happier with this scanner now.The specs on this scanner sound great. The price looked great. I have 50+ years of mine and ancient family photos to scan. I’ve spent a couple of days trying to install this scanner with no success. I first tried to install on a Windows 11 laptop and then backed down to my old, and favorite, Windows 7 laptop and neither will work with this scanner. The printed documentation consists of just a Quick Start Guide in multiple languages.I’m super disappointed because my first scanner was an Epson flatbed that was perfect but is now obsolete; I had high hopes and expectations for this one. I would not recommend this to anyone. I wil be returning it.

The scanner is easy to use . It scans very well. I use it to scan watercolour paintings and it works well except for some of the really subtle paintings that have a lot of white at the edge of the images. But it’s a good size and does the job.
