Of course the driver software doesn't work on Linux (I wasn't seriously expecting it to!) so I had to comandeer my wife's PC. There are lots of options promising various degrees of automation.

I am very satisfied with my purchase. I use this product to scan various documents and old photo film. The document feeder is an excellent feature. The resolution is great and text recognition is very accurate. Working with negatives is very easy too.

The first scanner I had was unacceptable. I wanted to scan old photos and make albums for each of my children. This epson scanner is incredible. Some of my pictures are 40+ years old but the color makes them look recent. It is easy to run, will scan four pictures at a time, and does so quickly.

The Mac Epson Scanner Driver & EPSON Scan Utility v3.9.4.0 software is downloadable from the Epson website. However you also need to download a Patch from the same page under Utilities EPSON Scan Common Updater v1.0.0. This will download the required patch.

Good scanner, and very pleasant seller. Does my 6x7 negs and transparencies perfectly. I always thought my EM-5 bested the results I obtained with my RB67 and carefully processed film, but I had not seen the negs for a while.

This does what it says in the description copying photos and slides. The settings for the definition provide high quality copies for filing on your drives.

The Epson Perfection V500 PHOTO Flatbed Scanner is a really nice scanner for the money. It is easy to install as well as operate. The Epson Perfection V500 PHOTO Flatbed Scanner performs as well, if not better, than other models that are much more expensive.

Scanner was really fast to set up. Very easy to start using. Minor annoyance with floaters. I clean and clean and clean the scanner bed but I never seem to be able to get rid of all the floaters.
