Q: One review mentioned doing the recommended maintenance. What maintenance is required, and how often?
A: I bought mine a few weeks ago. The manual states two maintenance activities are needed; replacement of the roller assembly after 120,000 scans, and more frequent and vital routine cleaning of the rollers. I cleaned the rollers with the microfiber cloth after about every 300 scans for the first 3,000 scans or so. The manual recommends only the use of microfiber. This was working fine until about 3,000th scan. Then the typical symptoms of the dirty rollers (white lines and distortions) started to appear, in spite of the cleaning. Now I clean after each 50 scans but the distortion still appears on some scans. Oddly, the distorted copies appear on about 2 to 5% of the batch scan, not on all or not continuously. I escalated the cleaning method to the use of a vacuum cleaner, both suction and blow, and sticky tape but the distortions still occur. It's a great machine when it is working right.
A: The default settings ask you to first choose the year, then the month (from drop down menus), then your tag. The scanner automatically creates the subdirectories and file names from you choices. The directory structure would look something like this: fastfoto/2000/December/Christmas.
Q: After the photos are scanned can I import them into Photoshop Elements or something like that?
A: Yes, the scanned photos are just standard jpeg files and can be loaded into any kind of picture software. I am using Adobe LightRoom in order to do face recognition and tagging. Still haven't found a good way to share the photos with the rest of the family.
Q: What is the largest and smallest size photo that can be scanned?
A: I have use e sheet feeder with photos 1 3/4 by 2 1/2 (wallet size), enlarging them by scanning at 600 dpi. The largest that I have scanned have been 8 1/2 by 11.
A: Front side (side facing down) is numbered your_name_001 back side (side facing up) is numbered your_name_001_b. Plus you can checkmark that this group has its own folder.
Q: Can you scan to memory cards or flash drives with this scanner?
A: You need to 1st download to computer than save to card
A: You can output to an uncompressed tiff in the advanced scanning with EPSON scan option. It output tiffs while autoscanning a stack of photos, but advanced scanning does not have the option to create the two versions.
A: there are two scan settings relating to quality of the scan (dpi)and the resulting size of the file. It is very very fast; I put 30 4x6 photos in the feeder and it is finished in less than one scan per second. I only use the highest setting now. I have scanned in square photos, b&w, 8x10 etc. and just love it. I am having a ball, scanning in old photos and using Adobe Lightroom to make adjustments to color and renaming of files.
