A:AnswerOnce my PC 'updated' to Windows 10 my Canon multi function copier/printer SCANNER drivers no longer worked. I went through MANY frustrating hours for several days to try and get them to communicate.
I finally gave up and bought this Epson Perfection v39. I got rid of my flatbed scanner many years ago and really didn't want to get another one because of the space it took up on my desk.
This flatbed scanner is awesome! It's compact enough to fit on my desk using the built-in kickstand. On most one-page documents and receipts, I don't even have to pull it out and lay it flat. Just leave the scanner on it's kickstand and it will work. Worked GREAT with Windows 10 right away. Best $$ ever spent!
This little sucker is FAST too. Once it scans your first page, you can reload the subsequent pages while the scanner resets internally to the 'home' position.
Comes with all the software you need too!
I use it to archive documents mainly. Scan receipts, warranties, everything to make a more efficient paperless office. I make PDF files several times a day with it and it's always reliable and a pleasure. Scan handwritten notes for customer files and emails. The PDF files are text-searchable too.
Easily makes copies too.
For multiple page documents, configure your '.pdf' button on the machine to the scan settings you want, and then just keep hitting the start button on the machine. Once you're done scanning, click on the 'finish' button on the software and it will save the multiple page .pdf file when you reach the last page.
No complaints. Love it for our small business. Pull the top straight off and you can place thicker books on it for scanning.
A:AnswerYou have the option to save as individual files. I used it recently to scan a large batch of family photos and it worked great for getting through over 100 photos in a short time.
A:AnswerUSB 3.0 is faster than USB 2.0, but you have to ask if that really makes any difference. The scanning process much takes longer than the data transmission via USB, so a faster USB wouldn't result in a noticeable improvement in the speed of the whole process.
A:AnswerThis is mostly for photos and documents, but works with drawings, old photos and textured items such as a cloth cross stitch. You can scan and save to JPEG, TIFF, PDF, PNG and BMP formats.
A:AnswerFor Windows: Scan the pictures and save them in "my pictures".
Then insert the flash drive. Go to pictures and right click and copy each picture and paste on flash drive.
If they are in a folder, copy & paste the folder.
Should be there. This can be done with just about anything that can be copied & pasted, including software.
NEVER shut down a computer with a flash drive.
If you leave it in, when you start the computer, it could really mess things up.
I worked for Dell for 5 years and it drove me nuts unscrabbling the mess I made with mine when I left a drive in and forgot to take it out.
Good luck.

A:AnswerYes. It will work natively with OSX image capture software, but if you want multi page scanning ability (adding new scans to a single pdf etc) you can get the free support software from the website linked on the disc that comes with the scanner.
A:AnswerEven though an installation CD comes with the scanner, you don't need it to install the program on your MAC. My MAC doesn't have a CD/DVD player, either. I went to Epson.com and downloaded the installation app from there. I had no problem doing this and no problems using my scanner.
A:AnswerI tried scanning slides and negatives but they turned out really dark. I'm not sure if it was the software or what. I used to be able to scan slides in college with photoshop but we had a holder for the negatives, not sure if that was the problem with this or not. Sorry I'm not very helpful.
A:AnswerI'm using the Mac "Printers and Scanners" application with the V39. It has a setting to "detect enclosing box" which takes a guess at cropping. You can ask for an overview pre-scan then manually adjust the cropping. It will also "detect separate items" so you might place several photos on the scanner and it will scan them as individual files. If you do an overview first, you have the option to adjust the angles and cropping so the photos don't have to be perfectly straight. To do this, it will move the scanner head once for each photo. It's not the fastest, but I like it.
A:AnswerYes, this scanner can do that. Your pdf or jpg photos may be saved to an SD card or thumb (flash) drive, as long as your computer has either an SD card slot (absent a USB card reader), and/or a USB port.
A:AnswerHello pastafazool. Yes, the V39 Photo scanner is compatible with Windows 11. You can find the latest scan software available on our official Epson Support page for download. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerMike,
I scanned old photos with this scanner. If you want perfect white borders, uncheck the box for auto-orientation. With this feature, when it adjusts for a crooked photo the white edges will vary in thickness. Otherwise, it was great. What I love best about this was how fast it is. Also note: unless you need the remove dust and scratches feature, uncheck it. That feature will slow down the speed of the scan.
