    This is a disappointing scanner. For $100, I expected it to last more than 12 scans and more than 5 days. I purchased this January 11th and January 16th, it started scanning with black lines. I used the cleaning strip and now it doesn't even scan anything - just blank pages. Contacted Support and they had me remove the drivers, remove and reinstall the software + drivers and the scanner is doing the same thing. At this point, I don't even want a replacement. I'm going to return it and look into another brand.

    I use the scanner very infrequently at home. It does not get heavy use in a work situation. However it stopped working after a year. I keep getting a "load your originals in the ADF before scanning." flashing on the screen every 2 seconds non-stop. Renders my PC inoperable until I unplug the scanner. Tried uninstalling and re-installing several times. This is obviously a hardware issue that EPSON does not cover so they force you buy another one.
