Keeps jaming on photo scansStrengths: When not jamming, I love it. Good Scans when working, fast enough, clear and enjoyable. Weakness: Only weakness I find is photo copying jams. Also, there could be a note in the box that says, setup information is on the setup disc for the scanner. I would truly love this scanner if I could get it to quit jamming. There should be documentation in the box, or at least a note that at least tells you the setup info is on the scanner disc. Would save a lot to time. I set it up before I found this out, which did not take a genius, but I spent time not necessary. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? TopAdvertisement

Could Be Worth It
Strengths: Works as advertised
Weakness: Expensive, poor documentation
If you already have an Epson Perfection 4490 Photo scanner, then you might as well get this if you plan on scanning lots and lots of documents. However, if you don't have the 4490, then just get one of those new multifunction scanner/copier/printer/fax machine things that has an automatic document feeder, as this accessory alone costs as much as a cheap multifunction.
The next problem is the complete lack of documentation. It's not exactly hard to figure out how to install the ADF, but it would be nice if there were more than just a warranty slip in the box.
Also, the software is completely incapable of handling double-sided documents! This is extremely annoying. After scanning, you have to sort the pages manually using tiny thumbnails that are impossible to distinguish from one another.
Aside from these limitations, the ADF works pretty well and has made my life easier. This huge stack of documents waiting to be scanned for years will be gone in no time!
