The whole purpose of this scanner is useless if you edit them so basically you're just paying to have automatic cropping to pics and batch scanning, nothing else really.

Specifically, the color and tonality of many scans from my FF-680 are off - the brights are too bright, the darks too dark, and it is seemingly impossible to reduce the contrast using the meager software provided by Epson (I use what they refer to as the \"document\" image processor, only because the \"photo\" image processor doesn't allow for border margins). This is especially true for black and white photos. I've called Epson to discuss and they were not helpful, or at least, there's nothing they can do at this point.

I watched all the same reviews you probably did and image quality is excellent. However like many others, connecting this scanner to your existing wireless network is needlessly complicated. WPS was never a great implementation for many and many routers no longer even support. We have Unifi system which does not. I wanted a WiFi connection as tethering with USB cable (USB 2... really?) was not practical due to space issues. So I went through the Epson instructions for network connection, many, many times. I used the network scanning application, pushed WiFi buttons... and the scanner just never appeared in ANY list on my iMac. So frustrating. Save yourself some time and just use your phone to setup. \r\n1. get the phone app. I used Epson FastFoto for iPhone. I assume Android will be same. \r\n2. Take a picture of the label on the back of the scanner so that you can have the password for the 'SSID-Direct' network\r\n3. Follow the instructions on the app. You will need to go to your phone network settings and you will see the network being broadcast by the scanner. Enter your password. \r\n4. Once you have connected to your scanner's broadcast SSID network, you will then see your home network. App will ask you to enter the password for your home network.\r\n5. Once you enter that, your scanner will then connect to your home network.\r\n6. Go to your iMac or PC and run setup again. Now you will see your scanner listed and just click on it. Follow the instructions. You are all set.\r\n\r\nI would change to 5 star once Epson addresses the network connection and eliminates WPS as a method.","name":"Needlessly complicated network setup that relies on WPS."},{"@type":"Review","@id":"https://epson.com/For-Home/Scanners/Photo-Scanners/FastFoto-FF-680W-Wireless-High-speed-Photo-Scanning-System/p/B11B237201#review-226479436","datePublished":"2022-11-06","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"reviewBody":"I was looking for a good scanner for months.

I would too, though I have also seen a lot of reviews pointing out scratch lines that happen down the center of an image while the image is scanned. Glossy photos are the worst as any aberration that comes in contact with the shiny surface leaves either fingerprints or scratches. I started scanning and I noticed a couple of faint scratch lines on every image I scanned. If these were negatives, I would have stopped scanning right away, but the prints I was scanning were simply to use as references so I wasn't as concerned. \r\n\r\nHowever, I hunted inside the scanner to find the problem. I've cleaned it constantly and nothing has helped. The same scratches have persisted. The plastic sheet provided for special projects has been used several times and there are two distinct scratch lines embedded in the surface. I included an image of the page. \r\n\r\nWhen I have looked for a solution, there are several people who have experienced the same thing. Epson's response is usually a reference to a video about how to clean the scanner. A super-basic, non-troubleshooting video. Sometimes there is also a pdf user manual provided. Really? There are enough people out there who have experienced the same problem and Epson's response has always been that it is our fault by indicating we need to clean our scanner better. I'm sure Epson knows how to fix this. That would help.\r\n\r\nI have done a lot of hunting for a reason photos were being scratched. It looks like the grey guide between the rollers that are exposed when photos are scanned could be the source of the scratches. It is about the same width. The guide I'm referring to is at the point of the pen I'm using to point to it. I have felt for an edge on it and I cannot find a reason that guide would scratch photos, but it's the only thing in the scanner that matches the location and width of the scratches of everything that enters the scanner.\r\n\r\nIf I could figure out how to keep scratch lines from appearing in my scanned images, the scanner is a true winner. It's a great idea and could be a great scanner. I know there are people who have gotten scanners that don't scratch images from the happy reviews posted here, on Amazon, and wherever. This review is not happy. I'm looking for a solution.","name":"Epson is in denial"},{"@type":"Review","@id":"https://epson.com/For-Home/Scanners/Photo-Scanners/FastFoto-FF-680W-Wireless-High-speed-Photo-Scanning-System/p/B11B237201#review-212982510","datePublished":"2022-07-13","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"reviewBody":"I bought this before I moved to a new house.

Epson Scan no longer recognizes the V750 scanner.\r\nThere are times that I will want to use both scanners.  I have uninstalled both scanners; however, when the FF680W driver and software is installed the V750 is no longer listed as an available scanner.\r\nI also purchase the Epson Scan Receipts program, it was not included with the FF-680W.  When I scan receipts, I want to save it in PDF format.  It seems that the default is JPG and there is a not a option to change the default to PDF.  This means that there is just another step to complete your work.  The OCR makes a good start but needs more work.  Mechanically, the scanner seems to work fine.
