    Review of Epson V850

    The scanner works very well. I am pleased with the results. I am a long-time Epson scanner user. I decided to retire my V700 which is in very good condition to upgrade to newer technology. The reason for the low review is the Epson Scan software. They decided to remove the Office Mode option which is needed to easily scan 8.5" x 11" pages. This option has been available in Epson Scan software for many years. I spent much time with Epson tech support to learn how to perform a scan of 8.5 x 11 inch pages using the V850 interface. They told me to purchase a third-party software scanning software. An additional step is required in Epson Scan Professional Mode. First the document must be previewed, then the page size set to 8.5 x 11. This must be done for each page. I purchased Silverfast 9.0 to perform the scans at 8.5 x 11. As a result, I do not recommend this scanner as an upgrade since the interface is not sufficient. Excellent scanner with a useless interface.

    I had fun using the scanner. I recently scanned all of my mothers pics she had saved and distributed to all of my siblings. The only issue I had was with the software. I wanted to make all the scans JPG but it would at times change it to TIF so I had to keep an eye on it.

    Review of V850 purchased at Best Buy recently

    The IT person who set it up for me said it was new but an older version of the V850. The Silverfast 8 that came with it was already outdated and wasn’t compatible. He went in and updated to the software Silverfast 9 but I had to pay extra. Now it is supposed to work. He said it should be a good scanner.
