Review: Works Flawlessly -- By Far the Best Scanner I've Ever Used - This scanner completely lives up to its billing as "the world's fastest personal photo scanner." I had thousands of old photos that, because we're moving, I wanted to store electronically while throwing out the paper copies. After doing a fair amount of research, I landed on the Epson FastFoto 680W. It's pricier than some other scanners but well worth it. In two days, I scanned more than 4,000 photos without a hitch -- the scanner worked flawlessly across all different sizes of photos. It even enhanced the quality of the photos as I scanned them. One caveat: keep in mind that the super-fast scans (no more than a second per photo) produce photos that are 300 dots per inch; if you want to scan at a higher dpi, the scanner is a lot slower. As a result, I decided to keep copies of a handful of very special photos, while still being content to keep only digital versions of at least 95% of them. After scanning several thousand photos, I switched to document mode to scan hundreds of paper files that I also wanted to get rid of and it was even faster than it was for the photos because it scans even two-sided documents in no more than a second. My days of paper copies are finally over. In fact, I'm keeping the scanner on my desk so that every time I get a document that I want to save, I instantly scan it and then discard the hard copy of the document. Overall, this is one of the best products I've ever purchased and definitely the best scanner I've ever used. Unfortunately, after I wrote that review, and for no apparent reason, the scanner suddenly stopped working with my computer (a fairly new iMac). The computer simply stopped recognizing the scanner and nothing could get it to work, even after I uninstalled and then tried to reinstall the software several times. The software won't re-install unless the computer recognizes the scanner, which it won't. And the Epson customer support people were no help at all. So, while this is a magnificent piece of hardware, the software seems like it's still a work in progress. I'm updating my review to increase it to five stars. After the computer suddenly stopped recognizing the scanner, I finally tried replacing the cable connecting the scanner to the computer. Presto, the computer recognized the scanner again. So it wasn't the scanner that went bad; it was the cable that I was using. The scanner truly is phenomenal.
Review: Exceeded expectations. Worth every penny. - I had 40 years of photos already sorted into storage boxes. Over the years I tried scanning them myself with various devices and always gave up—it was painfully tedious. I also ruled out photo digitization services because of cost and because I’d still have to sort through thousands of photos first. I hesitated for months because of the price, assuming the FF-680W would still be time-consuming despite Epson’s claims. I was wrong. This scanner is fast—shockingly fast. The photo enhancement features (auto enhancement, color restoration, red-eye reduction) are impressively good and require little to no tweaking. The Epson software installer is quick and intuitive, and the folder system for organizing scans is clean and logical. There is a learning curve, mainly around workflow. It’s worth sorting photos carefully ahead of time so you can scan by category in bulk. You’ll also realize that many older, pre-smartphone photos aren’t essential to keep—scanning highlights from events is often more than enough. One practical note: the scanner needs more frequent cleaning than I expected. Old photos carry residue from albums and handling, and the scanner is sensitive to buildup. Cleaning is easy, and the machine alerts you when it’s needed. Bottom line: this saved me an enormous amount of time and frustration. If you have boxes of photos and have been putting this off for years, this scanner finally makes the job manageable.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: According to amazon, the generation 1 was 600 dpi and the generation 2 is 1200.  can the new 680W scan at 1200?  is the quality better than 1st gen?**
A: My Epson FF-680W can actually scan photos at 300, 600 and 1200 dpi, selectable by the user in advanced settings before scanning an item. File sizes are huge at 1200 and very large at 600 and scanning times are also much longer when 600 or 1200 are selected. The default scan is 300, with three files created - standard front, standard back if the back contains anything the scanner sees, and automatic enhanced front which is often very good with older/faded photos. You can trash any of the three or save them all.

**Q: Will it do two sided printing and envolopes?**
A: The FF-680W can scan double-sided documents. Envelopes could be scanned using the driver if Double-Feed detection is turned off for that scan. - The Epson Scanner Team

**Q: Can if be opened for cleaning? If so, what cleaning supplies should be used?**
A: Yes, the Epson scanner opens to reveal the rollers and scanner light. I clean mine using a dust free cloth. Epson supplies one with their unit.

**Q: Is there a "hands on class" you can take to learn how to work this?  at a staples, office depot, or another retail store i could go to for a class.**
A: Along with the online manuals, we also have a series of tutorial videos showing you how to use various features of the FF-680W. Visit our Support page, choose the FastFoto series and the FF-680W, then click on the Videos tab. - The Epson Scanner Team

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Fast' is no joke. Great quality scans. Easy! Time saver.
*by M***H on March 9, 2025*

I watched this model's predecessor stay at the top of reviews for years, until this updated model came out to replace it. I'm so glad I finally purchased it. The multi-photo feeder works flawlessly with standard-thickness photos. Thicker (card stock) or very small photos require individual scanning using the provided vinyl sleeve. That worked for the few old Polaroid snapshots and for the our son's extra-thick senior year photos. The included (downloadable) software worked perfectly on my MacBook. There are versions for Windows and Linux too. Though I'm not interested in a photo capture business, with this model you could certainly do that as a side or part-time gig. Archival (600 dpi), 4x6 prints scan speed is about 2 seconds per print. Tips: 1. Take the time to setup the file autonaming convention first. Use the year element in the name instead of depending solely on the year in a folder title. That will make it easy to tell roughly when photos were taken, in the event you later send or move copies of photos outside of ther folders. Experiment with a few prints to be sure the files are (a) going where you intend and (b) are named as you intend. 2. Organize each packet of prints into two batches: portrait orientation and landscape orientation. Put them in reverse order from how you want them numbered. (The feeder pulls from the back of the stack.) 3. Feed one orientation stack (for example, landscape images) first, then the other, so the sliding side guards can stay in one position for a whole stack. This will save you a lot of time. 4. Select the auto-improve function without saving the unimproved original scan. Test a stack of photos to be sure you like the image improvements. This will save you hours of later fiddling in a separate image editing app. 5. Using a photo annotation pen, mark the back of each scanned photo with an 'S' or other symbol that will remind you the print has been scanned. 6. Backup your scanned images to more than one destination. If long-term durability of local media is a concern, burn to Blu-Ray disc and be sure to have a stand-alone high-reliability Blu-Ray writer / reader. Another strategy is to use one or more reliable online backups, such as iDrive. I use iDrive, Dropbox, and iCloud. I don't trust Google after it corrupted several thousands of my photos. (Fortunately, I don't trust any one platform completeley, so I had other backups.) I also backup to a high-quality flash drive and to DVDs. Keep in mind that the stability of data on those media is rated in years, up to 10, after which the data tend to decay, which is where Blu-Ray comes in, with a 100-year estimated data reliability, assuming the hardware to read it will still work in 100 years. I'm not going the Blu-Ray route, but would if I couldn't stand the thought of my descendants not having access to my photos.
