I must have scanned over 2,500 family photos by now. The scanner has performed very well. However, the software is problematic. When it works, it's fine. It nicely enhances many faded photos back to life and scans the reverse for notes. On the bad side, it continues to freeze randomly. I need to go into Task Manager to close the program and reopen it. Then it freezes again. Ultimately, the computer needs to be rebooted. Despite several upgrades done by Epson, this problem persists. I still have several thousand more photos to scan over this winter. Hopefully, the software will be fixed before then.

So far the software is very cumbersome like old printers. Registration is all manual and didn't pull Serial number via WIFI or USB for some reason, Had to manually enter all contact information. Then it asked me if I wanted to leave a review and when I clicked yes it opened in explorer instead of preferred browser. We will see if the rest of this product is old school.

Getting scanning done but having to work around uploading... it freezes scanning until upload is complete.... slows whole process up ..so I am loading directly to photos on my May and will have to recategorize.. its a shame...as your function if carried over to photos would make it one step..then Google Drive can upload at line speed without interrupting scan process

I've been slowly converting old printed photos to digital copies using flatbed scanners on multifunction printers and even though this works just fine, it is very time consuming. When I heard a radio ad for the FastFoto FF-680W, I thought it might be worth a look to speed up the process. It was everything they said it was, fast, easy to use and I was able to scan 20 years of photos in about 8 hours. If you are looking for a fast-easy way to convert your print photos to digital copies, I would highly recommend this product!

I just got my Epson FastFoto Scanner yesterday & I couldn't wait to use it. The install was super easy. I used it for the first time today and it is awesome! Super fast and easy to organize your photos onto your computer. I can't wait to continue with my big project of scanning my thousands of pictures i have accumulated over the last 50 years for the future enjoyment of my family to be able to view all these photographs digitally. I love it! I would recommend it to anyone and I've only used it for one day! I'm a happy customer.

Did my analysis, read the reviews and then ordered this scanner so I could get started scanning all our old photos. Followed the instructions and when I selected my Mac OSX 15.x from the driver download page I was informed that Epson hasn’t finished the driver software that is compatible with the latest OSX. Now the scanner is sitting on my desk and I’m now checking their website every few days to see if it’s available. I’m considering sending it back and looking for a scanner that works with the latest operating system.

Bought this along with an ES-60W scanner to arvhive boxes of old photos and I'm so glad I did. This machine is absolutrly amazing and fast. It scans both sides of the photo if it detects information, otherwise it skips the backside. It came with a carrier sheet to use with frayed, odd sized, turn clippings and etc.. I highly recommend this scanner to anyone wishing to scan lots of photos. It has saved me many, many days of work due the speed and capability. The only complaint, is that I wish you could change the file path and name descrioption from the scan button screen, rather than selecting Done andventering the settings option. I would also, suggest getting the ES-60W scanner for scanning photos to thick (Poloroid) or too small to feed through the FastFoto scanner. You'll thank me for it. I have over 6000 photos to archive.

I am still in the process of learning how I want to permanently Scan 43 years of photos that have been sadly boxed out of sight. I have thousands and thousands of photos and the grouping of them harder than using the Scanner. I use a low dpi of 300 for documents and a much higher dpi for photos. Easy to do but at times I forget to revert to the lower dpi but that is on me and not the Scanner. I am extremely happy with my purchase and wish I would have bought a great scanner like this many years ago.

I used this product for a year. Just as it was approaching the end of the warranty, it quit saving documents. Would get to the save screen and freeze. I called customer service, and they tried troubleshooting it. Nothing worked. They shipped me another one which arrived quickly as promised. Will review again if there are additional problems.

Everytime I scan using fast foto I get a twain error. This is apparently because the twain scanning protocol is old and not supported in windows 10. The Scan button on the scanner does nothing so all scan have to start from the app. Pushing scan data to a computer is not hard since every other scanner can do it.
