I do some slides for friends and family for birthdays. I have done 4 this year parents for their kids 18th birthday. Scanning photos has never been easier. The quality is very good with a great enhancement feature. After understanding how the folders can be organized, the organization of photos became a very pleasant feature. Scanning documents is very fast. As I understand it though, you only can scan a document as a picture. Thats okay for archiving. All in all, I really like this machine.

using my 250mbps cable internet wifi service, with 5 x 5 reception, the software indicates it can't find the scanner-often, althought the correct wifi LED is fully illustrated as 'on the network'. there is no easy way to check this, or re-add the wifi connection, as the WPS function is very slow and one thinks it has timed out. Using the oem setup file for the scanner is the only way to reset or search for another wifi signal, add it manually then, and save it (using a static iP this time, which is selectable). I've experienced this same issue maybe 4 times over the time i've owned the ff 680w. Other than that, i like it's speed and quality of scans. If you don't select the proper 'start' button, you'll be in foto scan instead of document scan, with no easy way to adjust to document scan while within the foto scan software page.

I bought this to use with my 2024 iMac, as the ad said it was Mac compatible, but I was shocked that in trying to download software it seems it could only be loaded on an iPad or iPhone. I had to borrow my son's iPad (which did NOT make him happy) in order to load the software and use it to scan photos. The scanner did handle various photos beautifully, but the ads for the product are misleading. You seem lightyears behind Apple versions of OS, and that is a big flaw.

The Epson FastFoto FF-680W Wireless High-speed Photo and Document Scanner is an very nice scanner! I really like the fast scanning abilities, the quality of scans, and very easy setup of the scanner. I was really impressed with the extremely easy setup and setup of the scanner. The provided instructions are very easy to follow and very intuitive. Instructions also provide driver links to Epsom’s website. I always configure computer hardware with the latest drivers from manufacturers websites for less problems and best performance and compatibility. The scanner is easy to operate. You can load multiple documents or photos and press the scan button to do the whole job. It scans very fast. Very nice when you have lots of documents or photos to scan. It saves a lot of time. It comes with some nice editing and correction software to fix the scratches or red eye in photos. Also if you need to rotate some images to the proper orientation or to crop them. The only issue I ran into was some very old photos I had were curved a little and jammed in scanner during scan. I had no problem straightening them out a little and re running the scan. I seen on other reviews that some people had scanner path marks added to their photos. I did not experience this issue with my photos. They came back out with no added marks. I really enjoy using this scanner. It will get me off my seat and finally get all my photos digitized and also scan all my receipts so they will be preserved if ever needed for warranty repairs or returns. 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.

On the first run, the scanner works well. However, setup was a challenge. All the avaiable documentation and everything I could find on the web said that the scanned could only be connective via WPS. This is a problem as most modern WiFi routers don’t support his insecure protol. It took a contact with support to find the procedure in the installation application.

Has all the features you're looking for in a fast photo and document scanner. I struggled for years with the NEAT System and decided to dump them after they demanded I connect my data to the cloud. I'm SO glad I did!! This scanner is much faster, has SO many features for photo enhancing and is by far the best product on the market. I've had it for a year and it had a software glitch so I've just uninstalled the software and reinstalled it, but other than that it has worked like a dream. I'm getting rid of 100's of pounds of paper and photos using this system.

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.

this machine is very interesting and works well. it can give you exclamation mark for no good reason. It could do with a better explanation of how to us and the various buttons. You really should get lay people to check out the product and have their feed back ,not just what it seems engineers(with all due respect) I think you should make it possible to send the scanned photos to a storage device,cutting the steps of downloading to google drive.Many people do not know what google drive is? I certainly do not want to upload my photos to facebook ??

I got this as a gift from my late husband. I am enjoying using this machine to store all of my photographs and documents. I have had no problem using it with my MacBook Pro. I am wondering if there is a similar machine that would transfer 35 mm slides to my MacBook? That would be wonderful! Right now, I am enjoying this little gadget.

Connecting this scanner for use over Wi-Fi was a pain, took over an hour, after numerous failed connection attempts, we were finally able to get it connected. A similar Brother scanner purchased for use in another office connected over Wi-Fi seamlessly without issue the first time in minutes. Now lets see if the scanner will stay online.
