Epson Perfection V39 Color Photo & Document Scanner: 4800 Optical Resolution & Scan-To-Cloud Functionality

abeadles11: Found an older version of this years ago for my mom, who suffers from (EDCD) Electronic Device Comprehension Deficiency. Lol! There's no classification yet. Closest is computer illiterate but this isn't a computing device. Anyway, she's more like, "Oh, what's this button do" competency. So I wanted to get her a scanner that is so simple, and yet literally works with the touch of a button. And that's it. And found Epson's Scanner. Years later, got this one for my sister too, who's scanner on her printer died. To bad they don't make the old one cause it's thinner and less bulky than this one. It is the same animal, though. Just a little bigger. Don't worry about care. My mom's been manhandling hers for a number of years, and nothing broken yet. And as far as I can tell, it's the only type of it's kind now. This is perfect for students as the marketing strategy was why it came into existence. The niche was scanning pages by students in the library! So the simplicity, portability, and price is a no brainer!! Oh yeah, forgot to add scanner is above par, comparable to the $500.00 and up price range. Only negative is no Legal or Ledger size. Will keep recommending for years to come, as...

Erick: This is one of the few products that has a driver for Linux, and that I haven't had to search the internet or tweak drivers to get working. I'm running MX Linux on my laptop, a Debian based distro - an excellent distro by the way. Just download the software from Epson support, untar, and run the install.sh script. Epson also has the source code available.

-The buttons on the scanner don't work with the Linux driver as it doesn't support them.
-The scanner scans at 4800 dpi, but not a full page. You have to reduce the scanned area and manually and enter the value in the resolution box in the settings as the drop down only goes to 1200. I was even able to scan at 6000 dpi (nice surprise) and odd resolutions like 535 dpi. I didn't test higher resolutions as I won't be scanning above 600 dpi.

I give Epson a two thumbs up. This is a nice compact scanner that works well.

Will: I bought this for a long term scanning project of scanning our kids art work, misc items, photos, and documents. And it's been great!

Pros
No power cable. It gets power from the USB cable that connects to your computer.

It's not heavy fits easily into one of my desk drawers.

It's scans pretty fast. I mean it's a consumer flat bed scanner don't expect commerical grade speedy fast lol.

It supports tons of settings with Epson software or with the default macOS scanner software.

Cons
I'm using this with my M1 MacMni so maybe the Epson software experience is different for Windows. But I'm not a fan of the Espon software. You're prompted to install a ton of software, as is the usually thing all these companies do (Espon, Canon, etc.). Now I only have the Epson photo scanning software installed. Some times I use it but I've gravitated to the macOS scanner and printer software. This is 100% personal prefernece of course. But to me it's a con because good hardware should have equally good software. But don't let this deter you from putting it on a list of scanners your considering.

Final Assessment
If you need a scanner for a photo...

Time2RealiZe: zu allererst: was sind bitte "Leicht zu erkennen" und "Zum Trainieren" für bewertungskriterien?

hab mir das ding nach bissle recherche im netz gekauft und bin absolut zufrieden mit den ergebnissen. mit ein minuten rumspielerei beim setup konnte ich das gewünschte ergebnis zum einscannen meiner polaroids erzielen und selbst wenn die gespeicherten profile beim nächsten start kompletten müll abgeliefert haben so hilft es mir doch sehr dass alle einstellungen sofort im preview fenster angezeigt werden und ich entsprechend die teils hahnebüchenen color corrections deaktivieren kann.

SATURNINO HERNANDEZ SANCHEZ: COMO PUEDO SOLICITAR UNA FACTURA

claude robert: Moi,qui ne suis pas vraiment un spécialiste de l'informatique (c'est souvent une prise de tête)
Ayant environ 100 kgs d'archives papiers sur un artiste (en 45 ans de collection X 2 personnes) qui prennent une place monstrueuse sur mes étagères, j'ai en quelques minutes réussies à m'en servir sans problème,sans même à lire la notice.
Comme quoi,on peut être le dernier des cancres de l'informatique et avoir de la simplicité dans la complexité informatique

je recommande donc pour les néophytes de l'informatique ce scanner qui est d'une simplicité d'utilisation.simplement installer le logiciel via le CD fourni et Hop ! c'est déjà parti pour une utilisation de PRO

LegoDad: I decided it was time to go through the old photo albums and digitize them. I had a nice Canon wireless scanner that was fine, quick, and made things easy, insert the photo and the rollers pulled it though and scanned. But after about 30 or 45 minutes it started having issues keeping things pulling STRAIGHT. So suddenly one side would grab better and it would skew some during the scan, pulling it crooked then half way though. Nothing worked to fix it, so I figured that one was now just a receipt scanner, and I needed a real one again for photos.

This one was one of the top results in my google searches, so I figured I'd give it a try. I know the only difference between this and the one just below it was the software it came with. and I was not sure what I'd use it for long term, so I opted for the slightly more expensive version with a more complete software package.

Scanning old docs and photos has been pretty much flawless. About the only issue I have is sometimes getting the auto crop right on scans where I have 4 to 6 photos on the glass. Usually it works, but sometimes it just doesn't quite get it right, and two of them end up together. It's rare enough that it...

Mikael GUERAULT: bon produit surtout avec l'appli qui permet de faire des zooms contrairement a d'autre. Mais fait un peu top de bruit lors des scan
