Amazon.com Product Description: The simply designed setup and interface of the Epson Perfection 1650 will have you happily scanning away in just a few minutes. The scanner connects to your PC or Macintosh via a USB cable, and its slim design and small footprint show that it was designed with the home office in mind. A serious hobbyist couldn't ask for a better combination of precision and value. Despite the relatively low price, the scanner offers a 16-bit grayscale, 48-bit color, and a maximum resolution of 1,600 x 3,200 dpi--which is more than enough scanning power to glean every sharp detail from family photos. One-touch buttons allow you to instantly copy, print, or e-mail photos. The built-in zoom feature provides a range of 50 to 200 percent, supplying plenty of options for enlarging or cropping your final prints. A cold cathode ray lamp is used as the light source, a powerful and economical choice that provides hours of efficient lighting. Maximum scan size is 8.5 x 11 inches, large enough for most office documents as well as your favorite vacation shots. Included in the box is a USB cord, along with Epson Twain and a design software package. The manufacturer's warranty covers parts and labor for a full year. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Still works like a charmAs someone who only recently got around to upgrading to XP Pro SP2, I discovered that I needed to upgrade the software for my 1650. No problem. Epson has a new v5.71A TWAIN driver and NewSoft, for a mere $ 9.95, has an upgraded downloadable version of Epson Smart Panel. Download, install, back in business. Great scanner. Rating:  - 3rd year review. Good hardware but software is problematic.As with the other reviewer from a while ago, I installed and uninstalled Epson's 1650's software several times on different machines. It left a lot of bugs. I had trouble having it work with other programs. But most of all, right now I am trying to use the scanner again on several new computers I have, and surprisingly enough, Epson's website does not carry the Epson Smart Panel application. You only get the Twain drivers so that means I am out of luck with trying to scan anything except ...

Mechanically, the scanner is fine, but the software and support from Epson and Newsoft has left a lot to be desired. I have spent HOURS on the phone to both support groups, but error code (-115) seems to be unbeatable. Never mind, Epson, I'll buy the Canon next time. Vote with your dollars. Rating: - Easy to use, good quality, fast enoughI'm very happy with this scanner - most photos scanned only require some basic dust and lint correction in PhotoShop or similar. Can scan negatives or slides, though the interface to do this is a little less than ideal and it's easier to scan prints if you have them. Software provided is flexible, allows scanning to files or scan to printer (copy feature). TWAIN interface allows interaction with PhotoShop or other software directly - easy to acquire new images. When I bought this scanner, a lot of ... Read More Rating:  - Poor softwareI was disappointed with the software provided with this scanner. As a software developer I have a high tolerance for bugs, but a few issues were particularly bothersome: 1) My wife installed and uninstalled the scanner before she gave it to me as a present, just to make sure it worked. It did. When I received it and tried to reinstall the software, it would not work. Apparently the uninstaller does not work properly. After following technical support's 15 step instructions on how to get it working ... Read More |
