Epson Perfection V39 Photo and Document Scanner , Black

I needed a scanner which scans into whatever folder I tell it to and names the scan automatically and consecutively, so scan 1, scan 2, scan 3 etc etc. This does that. The last two scanners I bought didn't allow this and the software was a bit clunky and unforgiving.This scanner gives me the freedom to scan in bulk. Wonderful! Set up on a Mac was as simple as downloading the installation package and drivers, once i'd done that, the blue 'active' light came on and that was that. I was scanning. It's incredibly fast as well, response time between starting a scan and the scanner beginning is almost instant. This is a great piece of kit, with the added bonus of slotting straight into my Mac via USB, no power adapter or plug required.

Finally having to change my old flatbed scanner when the generic drivers I was relying on would no longer function, the real problem was finding one that would work with Windows 10. The Epson Perfection V39 fitted the bill.The new models rely on power from connection to the computer. Don’t try it with a hub, it doesn’t like it and will interfere with anything else you have there. Install the software and it’ll run with any of your graphics software. These flatbed scanners are physically thinner and lighter and really fast scans. I was doing double the number to the time I normally give. The lid can come off allowing easier scans from books.This doesn’t mean it’s totally perfect but this is down to the scanner software. As this is pretty common to the generic drivers I was using with my previous scanner, I’m voicing comments here in case any of the companies want to do a revision.The biggest problem is not seeing the DPI, that tells you the resolution of the scan in its main window. A4 default is 100DPI while 150DPI used to be the norm. You have to switch to another screen, via the highlighted blue line words to change the DPI and use the Custom command to keep it that way. I should point out that you a lot of control of the resolution which is good. Considering that there are only 5 commands there, it would have made sense to extend the main screen or give an option to widen as seen in other software.For its speed, this Epson flatbed scanner makes my old scanners look like slowpokes but that can be put down to upping USB speeds.

This is a decent flatbed style scanner. I got this mainly to scan documents so I didn't need to keep lots of paper files at home, and for that it does a good job. It's not super lightweight, but the weight is okay. It's easy enough to install and set up, and I like having a scanner like this that I can plug and unplug to my laptop as and when I need it. The quality of the scans is excellent, I can get high quality documents and photos when using these. Epson are a good brand and this is a reliable product that still works well after many years of use. The price is pretty reasonable and the value for money is good. Recommended.

I bought this in October 2023, and it is now September 2024.It was a delight to use, and then suddenly stopped working on a Mac. It seems this is a common issue. I did all of the usual stuff like removing drivers and reinstalling them, trying a new USB cable, etc, but to no avail. Even Epson's support page is well out of date.I'm well past the return window.Quite frankly, if I wanted to buy a brick, I would have saved my money and gone to a builder's merchent.

This is for the Epson Perfection V39I bought this so I could scan my watercolour paintings as the one I had couldn't scan light colours and for me it works perfectly for what I want, I didn't find it too noisy and it was easy to intall and it downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the Epson website so it saved me the hassle of doing it myself. I only used professional mode and the default settings but I'm going to play about with them to see what they can do as tere is a lot to learn. It scans very quickly and is very light and compatable and just perfect for my needs.I saw two reviewers say about lines on 1200 dpi and I did once or twice see them but I just scaned again and they weren't there so I don't see anything faulty with it probably just a bad scan.

Wanted a proper scanner not one of those 3-in-1 jobbies where you have a printer, copier and scanner.So glad I did as well, the scan quality is incredible, easy to use and the file sizes are small enough to be stored online for storage, i.e. dropbox.Very happy with the purchase. Did quite a lot of research on getting the best one for my needsThis is configured for my Mac so software works fine with no issues. Am running 10.12.6 on my Mac just incase you wanted to know.

Simple to install, really easy to use. No mains supply cable to worry about - it takes its power from the computer it's plugged into through the USB cable. Very intuitive to operate through the Epson app. Good quality results and a good price too. Very satisfied overall. Only one beef - it assigns duplicate serial filenames by default if you save scans to different folders on the same day. I'd prefer unique filenames.

Great quality product with good compatibility and speed. Stylish design and easy to set up and connect. Value for money.
