Epson Perfection V39 Color Photo & Document Scanner with Scan-To-Cloud & 4800 Optical Resolution, Black

Great for photo scanning. Easy to work with. Works well on my Mac with the software that came with the scanner.

tres facile a brancher car un seul cable USB, pas de soucis de fonctionnement avec Mac, il le reconnait de suite, ( normal c'est du Mac ! ) logiciel tres simple a utiliser, toutefois 2 petits défauts : pas de bouton d'arret on dois débrancher l'USB, sinon il reste allumé en permanence, et bruyant en fonctionnement, mais pour le prix rien a redire

Lo esperado

Used it to scan all the family photos for up load to NAS, a stable and fast scanner.

This is the third scanner that I own in more than 20 years. I use scanner a lot, since I digitize everything in my household, including receipts, manual, etc., etc.... I like this scanner very much. Here is why. a. It’s small, taking less space. b. It is light. c. It is VERY easy to open the cover to scan book. d. It is easy to use. Whether I scan photos or documents, it is EXACTLY the same step. Just loading different profile. f. It does not require a PDF (or another software) to start. g. It’s just one small standard USB cable. No separate power cable with transformer. h. It's not too expensive. h. Support is quick. I get a response in a day. They respond on Saturday. Some other company will not reply on Saturday. At this time, I can not comment about reliability and quality, although these criteria are VERY important to me. I have to use for at least one year to have an reasonable idea. May 14, 2019: One important thing that I forget to mention in my original submission. This product has a feature to allow me to scan legal document. It is done by software. You scan top of the page, then scan the bottom of the page. The software will merge them into one PDF file. This is great to me. I had lots of difficulties over the years with legal documents. Oct 08, 2025: ========== I am putting this comment in the hope of helping users who migrate from Windows 10 to Windows 11, or who just buy this scanner for Windows 11. Avoid my frustration. I have been using Epson Perfection V39 (not V39 II) many years. This is a very good product. In fact, it was so good that I bought a second unit after long time use. One of the extremely useful features is the ability to scan large documents, such as legal (or anything else). In Windows 10, it is called Scan-n-Stich, or ArcSoft Scan-n-Stich Deluxe. When migrating from Windows 10 to Windows 11, I correctly go to Epson official website. It says I should download V39_Combo_AM.exe, which is consistent with what I did in Windows 10. After installing, I cannot find the ArcSoft Scan-n-Stich Deluxe anywhere. After some research, I find that Epson replaces ArcSoft Scan-n-Stich with ScanSmart. ScanSmart is included in V39_Combo_AM.exe, but it does not work. It complains that Epson Scan 2 is missing. V39_Combo_AM.exe includes Epson Scan (i.e. Scan 1). I am frustrated. If ScanSmart requires Scan 2, why Epson includes Scan 1? Anyway, here is the steps that you can avoid the frustration: • Download V39_Combo_AM.exe. Install it. • Uninstall Epson Scan (implied Scan 1) • Disconnect the cable from the scanner to the PC • Download “Scanner Driver and Epson Scan 2 Utility v6.6.60.0 (or maybe higher) from Epson website. It is hidden in the Driver section. • Install Scan 2 and restart the PC After that, you should be OK. In summary: • This is a good scanner. I highly recommend; especially the feature of scanning oversize documents. • Uninstall Scan 1 and install Scan 2. • The feature Scan and Stich feature is in the utility named ScanSmart. My initial feel is ScanSmart is easier to use than ArchSoft Scan-n-Stich.

I got the job of scanning four big family photo albums into digital form, maybe a bit over a thousand photos. Almost all of them were 3x5 or 4x6, but when I used my multifunction printer as a scanner, it required two separate scans, with an intermediate dragging of a border to define the final scan. It was multiple minutes (or so it seemed) for each photo, and I knew that I'd never finish without a high degree of annoyance, something not really appropriate to a family memory preservation duty. I shopped around for a photo-specific scanner, hopefully one with an auto-feeder, looking to automate as much as I could, but basically struck out. A bit of reading and a few reviews suggested that though it was minus the auto-feed, this printer could be what I was looking for. It was reasonably priced and I took a chance and ordered it. I've now got several hours of use scanning pictures of my kids and family, and am pretty happy with the unit. The big surprise was that the quality of the scan, even at the same DPI was noticeably better than the multifunction printer. Truth is, the majority of the work in this task is removing the photos from the waxy album sheets and their clear plastic covers. The scanner just keeps on cranking, and it takes about 1 minute for me to load a picture, scan it, put it on the 'done' pile, and then begin the next. Would it be faster overall with an autofeeder? Maybe a bit, but most of the time in the sequence above is for the scanner to determine the size of each photo placed on the glass, and then doing whatever it must to scan only the image. It takes two passes, just like the multifunction unit, but the the passes are automated and require no intervention beyond removing the photo when the process is complete. Photos are saved in JPG format, and the filename with its 3 digit number is auto-incremented with each new scan. I use Windows 7, and the included Epson software puts the completed scans in the 'Pictures' section of the Library. I'm almost done with the first album, so it seems likely that I'll finish in an acceptable amount of time.
