    Great hardware, sloppy support software

    This scanner is solid. Its sheet feed mechanism is remarkably robust. I have thrown a few highly questionable stacks of photos at it. They intermix sizes, paper stock weight and surface coating. The sheet feeder swallowed all but the most indigestible and did it without chewing them up. Epson discovered that slick, thick Polaroid prints needed special handling and rather than dropping the problem on users unadmitted, provided a solution for it. Our household wireless system is more complex than most, and as has been true for some other household equipment, Epson's one-button-connect scheme didn't work. Epson's inclusion of a USB wireless sign-up method worked flawlessly. And then I engaged the enemy. The first skirmish with Epson's FastFoto support software was minor. The photo display directory doesn't provide an option to track changes in the "scanned photo images" directory, a minor nuisance. The photo directory display update is extremely slow when saving to a thumb drive on the network, even on a desktop machine that is much faster than the usual installation. The directory update operation sped up when I moved the destination to a hard drive, but the real problem is that FastFoto smashes through the image file set completely update after every scan batch. Moreover, it provides nothing like the familiar File Explorer sort order or directory view presentations. Performance issues aside, File Explorer maintained the image file set more conveniently. The engagement expanded. I want to scan the contents of about 100 business envelopes, each of which contains between three and thirty photos. Envelope numbering begins at 100, so using a Settings > Organization > File Prefix Name value string of "100" produced a first file named "100_0001_a.jpg", as suggested by the example text just below the entry line. The file naming scheme was simple but adequate, so I unchecked the "Prompt me to describe each batch of photos before scanning" box. All was well until I made my first goof. I chose to delete a gaggle of inverted images and to pass the photos through the scanner again in the correct order, but first, I had to reset the file counter to 1. The file naming subsystem of the operator interface offers no obvious way to reset or override the appended image number, which is an amateur oversight. It tells me that no one in Epson's software or test groups ever used the scanner for real work. So, what to do? Renaming the file prefix to itself seemed to reset the counter until on envelope #66, it didn't. Thereafter, I tried and failed to reset the counter to 1 with several seedy tricks and the image number increased undaunted. This is a serious shortage. It also contradicts the helpful example given immediately below the entry line, which clearly shows that the image count after a file name prefix change will begin with '0001'. Finding a solution to the image counter problem consumed far too much time. I thought that the ever-increasing value might be in the registry, but I deliberately limited myself to 15 minutes, during which nothing credible came up. I then ripped FastFoto out as completely possible using Revo Uninistaller and reinstalled the latest download again. THE NEW INSTALLATION DID NOT RESET THE IMAGE COUNTER! Lacking some perverse evasion in the registry, the problem is either in the scanner itself or in an Internet link to a shadow Epson server somewhere. I have no control over either resource. (Epson's support site put me into a deceptive and useless circle of links.) My only option is to break my numbering scheme, which if it works, only adds to the waste of time I have already invested on Epson's problem. If a broken numbering scheme doesn't reset the image counter, I will have to write a script of some kind to ride herd on Epson's mess.

    This machine is little pricey but it's worth the price if one needs to digitize thousands of photos like me. I have boxes and boxes of 3x5 photos taken in the 1980s and early 1990s and this machine was able to scan them into my computer in less than 2 hours. As I scanned the originals, the machine could make a copy of the original and adjusted the color. The only downside is that it doesn't take thicker photo papers such as instant photo papers as they will get stuck in the machine and be considered as error. If you have a lot of instant photos and/or photos with something stuck to the back, a flat bed scanner is the way to go.

    Overall this has been a good scanner. It is very high speed but not if you need high quality. Overall I am happy with the quality but had to lower the speed to reach the quality I need. Also, the auto editing is a great feature. I have used many of the edited photos.

    So far, I love it!! It has processed about 1,000 photos so far, and I haven't had a single problem. It scans photos really fast (I can do at least 10 of the same size in seconds). I bought it because I needed to scan photos of my wife for her celebration of life. Since we were married for 52 years, there were a lot of them! I will be scanning the rest of my photos over time for inclusion in other albums. We'll see if the scanner holds up for these tasks, but for right now, the expenditure was worth it!!!
