Don't get if you have a Mac

I bought this because Epson said it was compatible with Mac OS El Capitan. I have a perfectly good Epson scanner, but it id not compatible with Mac OS El Capitan. Like my old one, this one is also not compatible with Mac OS El Capitan (10.11), even though the company website says that it is compatible. Now I have to take if back. It is obvious that they have not tried to use it with the newest Mac OS operating system.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It does the job for photo scanning!

While I am pleased with the performance of this scanner, especially for the price, there is one issue I wasn't nuts about. When installing the software, you don't have a choice as to where to install it, so it was installed on my small SSD boot drive instead of my 2GB storage drive. I tried scanning photos at various settings and all worked great; good color and saturation. The auto settings scanned to JPG with I suspect medium to heavy compression settings, but if you scan as a BMP it's uncompressed and you can edit it as desired. In the advanced settings I was pleased to see that you can adjust the compression settings, as well as storage locations. One pleasant surprise is that if I put several photos on the glass, it scans them and separates them into separate JPG files, which saves a lot of time. You can also have it auto-remove dust and scratches. It did an adequate job of that for a time saver, but I prefer to use Photoshop for that for more control. Great unit, I'd recommend!

It's so good to have an Epson scanner again. My old one was a 1660 I used with an old XP based computer & I loved it. Finally got a new computer and decided to get this scanner. Great color photo scans. Documents too. I'd recommend this to anyone. So easy to use. Setup was a breeze. Software is great too. Surprised that it automatically recognized the size of a color picture. My old one did a prescan & had to manually scale it before the final scan. This one does it all for me!!

Very frustraiting scanner

I have only had this a short time & it already drives me crazy. The software is very difficult to use and I am lucky to get one piece of paper scanned before it tells me that the scanner is not connected to the computer. Then I have to re-start my computer so that the scanner will recognize it.

Epson V39 Scanner
on April 23, 2015

from Mabank, TX
Easy to install. Worked well once I figured out how to run it (not long). Have the basic scan of pdf & jpeg fairly well down. Pretty easy to use. Have not tried all aspects of scanner still need to learn more, but so far what I done I am satisfied with the results. Price very affordable. Have always used HP All-In-One printer, scanner, etc, but the scanner just when out on it, so instead of moving printers around at three different locations so I could have a scanner it turned out cheaper and EASIER to buy the Epson scanner. So far so GOOD!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I will simply make this brief; you can't beat the simplicity of this scanner for the price. The scanned documents are crisp and clear. You can thank me later.

Instructions unclear

I purchased this to digitize photos for my Mother's Celebration of Life. It was confusing to learn, and we used the Scan button on the screen to start the scanner. Unfortunately, while it saved the pictures in our computer, it would not allow the images to be saved as a jpeg file. They could only be printed, not saved. After working for an entire day to capture photos from 50 scrap book albums, we had to start over, even after consulting a computer expert which told us that was our only option. So we wasted a full day of work when time was short. We learned you had to use the buttons on the scanner itself to scan the pictures so they could be saved as a jpeg file. I hope they fix this problem by either warning users that the pictures can only be printed when using just the scan picture icon without first pushing the buttons on the scanner itself, or just fix the software so jpegs can be created when using the scan button on the computer screen. Once we figured out how to use it, the pictures came out great.

I just finished installing my Epsom V39 Scanner and it was a snap. So easy, I couldn't believe it. I scanned two (2) photos and the quality is great. I am one happy customer.
