Customer Ratings & Reviews

Product works great. The only challenge was getting the wifi connection working. In my house we have multiple SSID and there is no good way to switch between these networks so we are using the USB connection now. Scanning is fast even at 600dpi which is what we use. We also set it to do all the enhancements. To start we were getting both the standard and enhanced photos. But the enhanced one was always better so we stop collecting the standard version.

I have about 25 years of pictures from my mom of the family growing up. I started out with the Epson V370 flat scanner which does a great job of you don’t have a lot of pictures. I realized that it would probably take me another 5 years to scan them all. I saw this one on sale and bought it. Wow. I can’t say anything bad about it. I can scan 36 pictures on 600dpi in less than a minute. The software is easy to use. I highly recommend it.

Great product to quickly scan pictures with high quality resolution. Easy to set up and use. Great way to digitize quantities of pictures

It is difficult to navigate the first few times because there is really no manual in the box for problem solving. Once you understand the process it is much easier. It completes a wide range of sizes of photographs and newspaper articles in record time. Not sure how to wash the cloth that is given to you to clean the roller blades. Cleaning the blades needs to be done periodically. The enhanced photographs bring back the color of older photos quite nicely!

I've been using this photo scanner for the last couple of months and it has performed exactly as advertised. I've scanned approximately 6,500 family photos from over the last 100+ years along with a large quantity of letters written and sent home by family during WWII. Nothing has been damaged, although I did use the "carrier sheet" to protect some of them; better safe than sorry. It scans large quantities of photos quickly and the quality of the scans is impressive. I've found the 'auto color adjustment' feature to be a benefit. The FastFoto software applies automatic sequential numbering of the photos using whatever file name you supply, which has been great. There is a reminder that pops up after every so many scans that reminds you to clean the scanner - that entails nothing more than 20 seconds of using the supplied cloth to wipe down the two components that actually do the scanning; any residue or dust will show up in the scans. Ultimately, I was a little unsure if this device was worth the price. I've found that it is well worth it. I am using a MacBook and have hooked the scanner up via USB. It has wireless capability, but I've found the wired approach to be very reliable and faster. Overall - I am really pleased with this scanner.

a bit expensive but so far it works as planned. Just load multiple photos and sit back and watch it work its magic. Don't think there is a comparable product for ease of use and quality. Used to digitize old family photos. Now I need one for photo slides

The scanner is amazing and does super job wrestling in old faded photos! It’s worth every dollar and scans for a fast.

This scanner was easy to learn and is easy to use. The scanned picture quality is great for what we are using it for and it scans as fast as Epson claims. My only suggestion is that when you are pairing this device to get it close to the wireless router. It will save time an aggravation. Once paired you can moved it nearly anywhere your wifi reaches.

Was very impressed with the speed of scanning. Was able to down sizes physically photos and share older photos with other family members. My area charges $.5 per photo to scan so this saved quite a bit of money. the quality of the scan was good and impressed with the automatic correction.

I LOVE this photo scanner!! It's a bit pricey, but the $100 off helped a lot. It does a great job scanning pictures and enhancing them automatically. The speed is pretty fast also. Can scan pictures of different sizes all at once. Certainly cheaper than sending photos out to be digitalized.

This scanner is great for archiving documents and freeing up file drawer space. The OCR software is the best I've used. The photo scanner is also very fast and surprisingly sharp. The duplex capability is a definite plus. I won't be getting rid of my flatbed scanner, but this has quickly taken over as my primary. The only problem I've seen is that it occasionally flips a scan and I have to stop and rotate the image. I've only had it 6 weeks, but it has made a tremendous impact in my workflow.

The fastest home scanner that I have ever seen. So fast, that my computer had some difficulty keep up with it. The quality of the scans are great, considering how fast it is. This scanner is faster that a lot of professional business scanners. Set up may be a little difficult, since it does not come with a manual. The manual can be found in PDF form online. I wish it had a digital display for easier set up options.

Bought the FastFoto FF-680W to save family photos and historical documents and was amazed at how fast and easy it was to use. Great way of digitizing old photos and important documents. This made going through thousands of pieces of material much less of a hassle than using a flatbed scanner. The only downside is Epson provides only one plastic document holder which is not ideal. All in all, a time and history saver!

This is NOT a printer. It IS a dedicated scanner with some pretty impressive color correction software. This was purchased to tackle a family photo archive project that had around 7500 photos, letters and other pieces of media. The scanner will only take about 50 pieces of media at a time and it's best if they are of similar width. If you add media that is too different, the feeder tends to skew the image as its pulled into the scanner. The software lets you choose various scanning options like what resolution you want to scan at, color/image correction and whether you want to scan both sides of an image simultaneously if there is detectable writing on the back. It will even let you set a level of how dark the writing should be before it triggers the reverse side scan. It's also pretty darn fast. I have mine set at 600 dpi and it takes about 1 second per photo. The slow down comes when it has fed all the photos into the scanner and then must process them. Fifty photos can take around 5 minutes and its an intensive process on your computer which means that you basically can't use your computer for anything else while it processes. I'm sure your processor speed will affect the time it takes to work through the scanned images but I would still assume that your computer will be fully dedicated to the photos and useless for anything else, just for a shorter time. Epson also provides some simple archival organization software that lets you select the year of the photo batch and lets you name the batch. It's not perfect but, it's a pretty good jumping off point to set up your own way of archiving things. It's NOT a cheap machine but, if you have a lot of media like I did, it's a mere fraction of the cost of having some archival firm do it.

I bought this scanner to try to archive the boxes and boxes of old photos that I cleaned out of my mother's basement before we sold her house. I've only just begun but it does a great job scanning quickly and the images are nice and sharp. This scanner will also scan documents and can scan both sides at once. I've used it a couple of times and haven't adjusted the settings but at least at default settings the scans are faster but not as sharp as with my Epson all in one.

While I think this scanner is overpriced, I am still glad that I found it! Scanning legacy family photos takes minutes! Amazing for large projects!

Very fast - easy basic editing. Exceeded my expectations.

Purchased this as a cheaper alternative to a replacement for a network workgroup scanner. It is FAST, has great ADF capacity and image quality. I did have to setup a WPS enabled wifi router (any cheap wifi router with WPS support will work with a few settings changes). The staff who are using it LOVE it. At the price point you are well under 1/3 or less the cost of a dedicated scanner and I and my staff can find no issues this far in this unit.

I use this scanner for document scanning. It works perfectly once you set it up and the software is intuitive. The document feeder will hang up if you put too many documents in it at one time, so 50-60 is a good number. The speed is quick for a small office scanner (so much faster than my all-in-one that scans... the speed depends on how much printed material is on a page. It is expensive, but over all, this is a GREAT scanner!

Perfect for my project. Have so many pictures that I wanted to scan for family. Still in the middle of the project. Easy to use. Easy menu system with software.
