Q: QuestionI want to scan a large batch of old -photo's with text on the back. Can I continuously feed differently sized photo's and scan both sides at the same time? Can I put each photo in a different file?

Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hi, The WorkForce ES-300WR Wireless Color Receipt Scanner can scan photos but that is not its primary purpose. It is a receipt scanner. Epson makes a dedicated photo scanner, the FastFoto FF-680W that has a straighter feed path, scans faster, and comes with photo management software. The FF-680W is available at Bestbuy.com (inventory levels can vary). Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.
