Epson Perfection V39 II Color Photo and Document Flatbed Scanner with 4800 dpi Optical Resolution, Scan to Cloud, USB Power and High-Rise, Removable Lid

The scanner was simple to install onto my network and provides hi quality scanning of documents. I havent as yet used for scanning photos so cant comment on the resolution but if anything as good as documents then it will be excellent for saving those old photos.

An easy scanner to set up on AppleMac system, v good scan quality, this V39 II is a replacement for my earlier (and excellent) V39. Quality of scans is discernibly better.

This scanner has packed up after 9 scans it will no connect to my Mac and has been problematic from day one. Now I cant return it as I've had it too long. I've had Epsom scanners befor with no problems.

Software operates only in th USA does not work in UK.

I previously bought a Canon LIDE 400 which had good reviews so I could archive some photographs. It was not capable using the Canon software of scanning at 4800 dpi as advertised (could only get 1200). So I opted for the Epson Perfection V39 II. I got it out of the box and was struck by how delicate it appeared. I thought it would not last long. I connected the single USB cable which is used to power the scanner (same as the Canon) and it was dead. The installation software could not detect it. I tried one of my own cables but same result. So I never got to see it I could acheive 4800dpi, let alone any other issues. Unfortunately without tripling my budget, there is not a lot of choice out there.
