This scanner was awesome, loved everything about it - good scan quality, super easy to use. Was happily scanning for 2 weeks until it developed a vertical line across the middle of every page. I used the included dry cleaning strip 3 times, didn't fix the problem entirely. Went onto Epson support pages which said to use a WET cleaning strip which comes with the "optional Maintenance Kit"... Then over to YouTube which showed "easy fixes" of dissembling practically the entire scanner.
Sorry, but I shouldn't need to pay for additional cleaning supplies or take the entire thing apart just to continue using a brand new product within 2 weeks of purchase! Returning to store.

Great scanner, easy to use, quick startup, quality of scans are excellent. Bumped it down one star due to the software that wants to load and update constantly. Otherwise, highly recommend.

hard to get running in linux but fantasticly easy in windows. I did get it to run in my zorin 16.1 distro though. Not sure how......... but i did get it to work well. The scanner itself is easy to use and awsomely fast and great quality scans of color photos that I mainly got it for. Great price too!!

I'm a mobile Notarty. This works terriffic! I plug it into my computer at my clients location, they sign, I scan. When done, I hot spot my computer to my phone and immediately upload docs to closing agent. It is light, small enough to fit into my computer bag, compact so doesn't take up much room on the table while working, and fast! I love it and don't know how I've gone this far without one!

Scans very quick - a lot faster than using the scanner on my printer or using a scan app on the phone and having to worry about bad lighting, etc.
Quality seems OK - mostly just scanning receipts and related documents.
Haven't had it too long so can't speak to the long term performance or quality but so far so good.

For an easy to use no fuss scan and sort just about anything including IDs and receipts to full page reports, this is the thing to have. I had one previously that I used constantly, but it was lost in a tornado. Immediately knew I wanted another to replace it. Small and compact, easy to pack when taking trips - especially for business. No waiting to get home and hope that receipt is still legible.

Easy to install. Once you have it installed and begin using it, I could not believe the fast scanning of documents and pictures. Great device to have to maintain records of receipts for items purchased. Fast and reliable with clear documents.
