epson v500 office scanner
on May 18, 2011
Posted by: goldy

I already own a v500 standard scanner and it is much quicker than the scanner mode of my all in ones. The multiple page feeder speeds thing up even more. having an instruction sheet for the multile page feeder with the scanner package would be a huge improvement, it took me awhile to look at pictures of the scanner in the spec sheets to figure a few things out. Once i got that done it has workrd very well. I'm scanning a lot of magazine articles to convert to digital from paper so it will be getting a huge workout. It would be neat if just the page feeder was available as a seperate item. The software included had been completely satifactory for my purposes. The only question now is how well it will stand up to the heavy use I will give it, only time will tell.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Scanner review
on August 1, 2013
Posted by: Jim
from Columbus, Ohio
This scanner is flexible and reasonably fast with flexibility to make adjustments for many different situations. However, I am currently having difficulty with the auto-feed mechanism. It worked well at first. After only a few hours total use it does not always properly 'grab' the paper in the feed tray. I have not discovered the cause or solution for this yet. It could be the 'slippery' paper I use or the heavier 28 lb. paper that is the source of the problem.

Epson Perfection V500 Office Scanner
on December 15, 2013

I had the old Epson 3200SU Photo Scanner with an additional document feeder. Was looking to replace this with another scanner that was as good. Needed to upgrade because scanner did not have a driver for the newer Windows (Vista, 7 and 8). This is the best scanner - does slides, negatives, transparencies, photos, and documents. The automatic document feeder is reliable so you don't have to watch for a feeding error. The Epson V500 scans more negatives and slides than the older version. This is one of the few scanners you can buy, in this price range, that has the CCD rather than the CIS scanning element. This gives a better scan. If I were to give a negative, it would be it is a little slower than other scanners with an automatic document feeder.

Exactly What I expected.

I hated to get rid of my old Epson, but there seemed to be no drivers for it compatible with Windows 8. I knew what I wanted - all the old features plus Auto Document Feeding. I found that for just a few dollars more I could get that plus a wide array of USEFUL feature (not whiz-bang stuff you never use). This scanned does exactly what I need; it's easy, intuitive, and fast.

Dedicated Scanner is Dedicated to Excellance

For a while I was satisfied with using an all-in-one unit until some critical scans of slides and negatives were needed. Being very pleased with my Epson Workforce printer I bought an Epson scanner. The quality of scans, ease of use, and options for the final scan exceeded my expectations. The ability to enlarge the image to standard 35 mm print sizes resulted in a superior print with a minimum of post processing.

Good scanner w/ a design flaw
on September 14, 2012
Posted by: Jelly
from Baltimore, MD
I bought this scanner to use in my classroom computer lab. Overall it's a good scanner and has nice resolution, speed, and so far it has been easy for my students (grades 9-12) to use with minimal instruction and help.
There is a design flaw that isn't a huge deal, but for the price of the scanner I'm annoyed. The scanner arrived as a regular flatbed and I had to take the lid off and put the new lid with a document feeder on. The switch that locks the document feeder lid into place is located in a place where, if it is locked, the cable that connects the scanner to the computer cannot be plugged in. Therefore, I have to keep the document feeder lid unlocked. This means that it can be lifted straight off the scanner.

Epson v500 Scanner
on August 29, 2013
Posted by: Saturn6
from Canton, Ohio
I have always loved Epson products.
However, Scanners have always been a real pain in the butt to install.
This Epson v500 is no different. The Buttons on the front of the unit has never worked correctly from the first day I installed the software.
After a long detailed process of installing, re-installing the software, I think I got them to work.
Everything now seems to work perfectly. The Document Feeder works flawlessly.
