The Epson scan driver is easy to use and quite good. The lid can also be removed or raised to accommodate scanning 3D objects. When raised, the lid locks in place, freeing your hands to arrange documents. The glass document bed measures 8.5×11.7″. The film holders are anchored for exact alignment with the lid’s built-in light source.


With USB 2 connectivity, the V500 scans both reflective copy and film from 35mm through medium format.

This is the first Epson scanner to use the faster LED (light-emitting diode) as its light source, eliminating the conventional warm-up time. The Epson Perfection V500 Photo scanner does a reassuringly professional job of archiving valuable documents that people cherish and try to save when natural catastrophes hit.
