Bought this unit Feb 2, 2025, it is fast and convenient BUT it is advertised as a photo scanner and it does that BUT the quality of the scan is very poor. I tried adjusting setting but could not get it to do a good job. Wish I had my $659.00 dollar back.

I bought this to be able to digitize the thousands (really, thousands) of our old family photos! It is easy to set up and scan the photos. I love the feature that enhances the color and clarity of these photos some of which are very old and some that are more recent. I can put in a stack of photos to scan and while they scan, I can prepare files on my computer to organize them. In addition, I found some very old letters which I scanned. I took advantage of the editing feature to crop and enlarge these letters. Wonderful! I am excited to preserve these letters and documents which are slowly deteriorating! Now I can have digitized photos to give to my sons rather than the big number of photos! A winner! I highly recommend this scanner! Have fun!

Purchased to archive family photos going back 100 years, worked perfectly. Excellent quality machine, scans, and is very easy to use. A flatbed scanner would not have been an option for all the photos I had to process. Nice design with a small footprint. I researched several machines, but this became the easy choice. Highly recommended.

The scanner was working very well but then when Windows 10 Updated, the Epson SmartScan stop working and cannot connect with computer. It was NOT a cable problem. I tried three different cables. But it could not recognized my computer or connect. Even when trying to download the Epson software again and trying to setup with USB connection, it would not recognize my computer. I had difficulty trying to do it even over WIFI. FINALLY, had to use a cable connection with my WIFI router. I am watching to see if this EPSON FF-680W is becoming glitchy with connecting problems.

I bought this to scanner to preserve some antique photos - the scanner was extremely fast (even saving at 600 dpi), the quality of the scans was fantastic, and the machine treated these photos gently enough that it did not damage them in the least. The option to save an enhanced version of the photo without manually tweaking it in photo editing software, as well, is a bonus. I am extremely pleased with this purchase and recommend it for anyone looking to archive photos.

My husband and I bought this a few months ago to scan our family photo archives. We have some that had faded and b&w photos that looked muddy. Using it is easy and the photo images are nicely enhanced. I’ve just recommended it to my large extended family with the hope they’ll scan and post the photos they’ve been promising to send out!

I was tasked with testing this scanner. I personally own a multi-printer that is not an Epson. Due to problems with Epson products in the past I have switched to another brand. I scanned a photo and a post card with the FastFoto and my personal printer. I will include the images.** Here are the pro and cons of the FastFoto FF-680W Wireless High-speed Photo and Document Scanning System. As I stated this is my personal opinion after using the product several times. Con-product was difficult to set up. The instructions are not clear and it was very difficult trying to get it to scan via the scanner buttons. Using the program on the PC was the best(only) way. Pro- the pictures are clear and vivid in color. Con-Product has constant updates often requiring your PC to restart. Con- Can only scan one item at a time. Con-Product is small but very heavy. Unnecessarily so in my opinion. Con- it does not print photos. I know it is a scanner, but every other scanner I have had including a photo scanner, printed as well. Con- the price! My multi-printer may have a bit less clarity and color but I only paid $40 for it and it prints very nice photos. Very lightweight too. Pro/Con-It does print dual-sided. As does most printers/scanners. So I must conclude this item has a niche customer base. If you have the time to print a photo or document one at at time and just want it to look nice and pretty plus have some serious cash to throw at this-this is for you. If you are like me and have to budget carefully, would like a cost efficient item that can print, and don’t want to have a scanner heavy as a brick I suggest you look elsewhere. “This is a review for the Epson FastFoto FF-680W Wireless High-speed Photo and Document Scanner System that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.” **Note- I tried to upload the photo and postcard for comparison, but the site is acting up. It is made by Epson after all.

I am very pleased with the way this product functions in almost every way except it has a problem staying connected to my wifi network. Every time I start a scan it asks what to connect to ( even though there is only one choice and it knows what it is....) This is a remarkably fast photo scanning device. It does a much better job than my previous scanners - so much so that I am rescanning ALL of my thousands of photos! The other issue is what do you do with the Terabytes of info that get generated? I'll accept that challenge.

I haven't scanned anything yet and already I'm extremely annoyed: Epsom hasn't updated its installation software to include the updated WPA2 software BECAUSE THEY SUPPORT ONLY THE ORIGINAL WPA, WHICH THE WIFI CONSORTIUM DEEMS "INSECURE" AND IS OT SUPPORTED BY MY ROUTER FOR THAT REASON. In contrast, setting up my Brother laser printer was easy. It's on the network and accessible from anywhere in the house. It takes an engineering degree from MIT to install this printer on WiFi Oh wait, I have one and I couldn't too it. Sigh.

The Epson FastFoto FF680W is a great compact size scanner that does not take up too much space.I was really impressed with the size and the ability to scan the picture within a reasonable time. The Epson FastFoto FF-680W can scan both sides of the document or picture.It tool me less than 1 minute to scan 30 photos. When using the scanner to restore or edit photos i find it easier to use Epson Scan Smart Software you can crop help remove red eyes and many more features. Not only did I use the scanner for my pictures but once they were finished It was easy for me to upload to my dropbox account. I was able to scan receipts to my business folder so I can later use it for my tax purposes for next year. This compact size scanner is a great edition to my small business .This is a review for the Epson FastFoto FF-680W Wireless High-speed Photo and Document Scanner System that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”
