Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got the Epson V39 Flatbed Scanner II to see if a standalone scanner would prove useful in our household. After considerable use, this scanner did find a niche spot in our lives. The scanner offers versatility for scanning various items. The Epson V39 II flatbed scanner, like its predecessor, is small and compact. I would envision its purpose being geared toward the home or home office. Out of the box, the unit is sleek and lightweight, making it a perfect desk side companion. The scanner connects to the computer via a USB 2.0, I would have preferred to see a USB-C cable though. The setup is adequately quick, our personal home computers all use Windows 11, and it was really plug and play after a couple of check the box downloads. The scanner offers a maximum scanning resolution of 4800 dpi. My experience is that the resolution of the scanner is good but is less than great once you start to zone in on the image. The printer offers a myriad of modern day useful tools through the Epson ScanSmart software. We pulled out our high school and college day pictures from the nineties and early two-thousands and really appreciated the color restore feature. The scanner shined for my daughter, who is a pseudo digital artist, by allowing her to scan in photos & text pages from her manga book collection to work into her artistry. By using the OCR software and importing editable editions to several notable applications. The scanner's lack of a feeder as a standalone flatbed scanner is a bit annoying at times but not a deal breaker. Scanning speed and overall quality of resolution varied by the scan as dictated by the media being scanned and the scanning mode selected. The scanning process can be super-fast for uncomplicated text documents but is not overtly fast with higher resolution scans, nor is it slow though. I did find the kickstand more of a gimmick novelty and did not use it but when my wife was editing old photos, she was using it and said it made getting the pictures on and off easier for her. I rated the scanner five stars because the scanner does exactly what it advertises it will do. It is a multipurpose peripheral that is compact and convenient. The unit offers great resources through the Epson software and could be a friendly addition to any working space.

great hardware - works great right out of the box. Updated driver and associated app for my Mac. This was a great purchase at a great price - from trusted Best Buy

This scanner is compact and lightweight with an optical resolution of 4800 dpi and can scan photos and documents very quickly. It comes with a micro USB to USB-A cable to connect to your computer and a setup guide. On the back of the scanner is a little kickstand so that it will sit upright. Setup is simple. You will need to download software for any computer you are going to use this on, plug it in and follow the instructions. The software you download from the Epson website has Epson Easy Photo Fix, which helps bring more color to your photos if they are a bit faded, removes red eye and even removes dust and scratches from your old photos. There are four buttons to make things simpler where you can just press to scan, copy, and share your scans. When saving photos, you have the option to save to your computer or cloud storage. Your digital images can be saved in a number of formats like JPEG, PDF and Bitmap to name a few. I like that you can put a few photos onto the screen and once it has scanned the photos, they will be cropped into individual pictures, saving you time if you have a lot of photos like my daughter does. Since this scans at a 4800 dpi resolution, you are able to capture more details in the things you scan. This is a document/photo scanner all in one. I plan to use it for both documents and the photo scanning. It will be so much nicer to have all my paper files disappear. There will be little need for most of them, since I will have everything recorded in my computer files. My daughter loves photography and the scan is excellent for making the sizes vary and putting them in frames for her to display. The scan really does her photography justice because of the Easy Photo Fix. I highly recommend this scanner for its ease of use, speed in which it scans and the software especially for fixing older photos.

Very convenient and useful… Great value product. 100%

It does what it's supposed to do. Was impressed at the quality of resulting docs.

I have not opened the box yet to use it. Can’t give you a review because I have not used it.

very nice printer.Seems well made, large screen bed.

Didn’t scan small photos with much detail. Could never get the dpi to increase. Returned it because of the bad scanning quality

I could not get the software uploaded at all. My laptop was connect full internet strength and it would get to download and say it failed to connect to internet…. However I was online at the time and even opened a second tab online and went back into the website just to get the same message. So obviously I was connected to internet.

Doesn't work. It won't recognize the USB cable connected between my computer & the scanner. Nothing but trash. Do not recommend.

Bought it for my grandfather when his original scanner stopped working post Windows 11 upgrade.

for the price it is well worth it. Just have to remember it only does 300 dpi but otherwise just fine.

Excellent photo scanner that works better than more expensive ones!

This scanner was not compatible with my brand new lenovo windows 11 laptop. I carefully followed all instructions and it didn’t connect. For me, it was a waste of time.

This scanner once installed scans fast. And is OCR WHICH is great for editing pictures..

Epson drivers are evidently not compatible with Windows 11. Have wasted countless hours with Epson support and have gotten different answers each time. Not willing to pay $39 for Geek Squad intervention.

It does its job very well and is an excellent value.

I have a new computer with windows 11 and this could not download the hardware, called customer service which sent me the same link I was using to download and still wouldn't work and they didn't know so I just returned it.

Had a hard time setting it up on my MacBook Air. Finding the correct cord was frustrating.

I love this scanner, my old family photos look beautiful!
