And if there isn’t enough room, the unit has an integrated kickstand that will let you prop it up into a more vertical position. Unlike the V39 II, for example, it doesn’t scan directly to cloud services (such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive) or stitch scanned images together (for photos or documents too large to fit on the unit’s glass platen).Īt 1.5 by 9.9 by 14.4 inches (HWD) and weighing just 3.1 pounds, the V39 II is small enough to place on most desks or tabletops.
EPSON SCANNER NOT DETECTED WINDOWS 10 SOFTWARE
Available only from online retailers, the V19 II provides the same hardware and specifications as the V39 II, though it has fewer software features. The Epson Perfection V19 II is a slightly scaled-down and less-expensive version of the V39 II. We should also mention a new challenger from Epson here. And like the V39 II, the LiDE 300 and LiDE 400 include support for OCR, though neither performed as well on our OCR tests as the V39 II did. The Visioneer 7800 includes very robust photo management software, though you’ll have to pay an additional fee for that software after the first year. The CanoScan LiDE 400 has the same 4,800dpi optical resolution as the V39 II, while the CanoScan LiDE 300 and Visioneer 7800 have lower optical resolutions (2,400dpi and 1,200dpi, respectively). All of these models have a similar size and weight, and all of them scan photos and documents at roughly the same speeds. Like the V39 II, they are inexpensive flatbed scanners targeted to the needs of home users and creatives. The strong competition includes the Canon CanoScan LiDE 300, the Canon CanoScan LiDE 400, and the Visioneer 7800 Tag That Photo Scanner. It replaces the Epson Perfection V39 for that top spot.


Despite that competition, its mix of features and capabilities earns the V39 II our Editors' Choice award for best budget flatbed photo scanner. It’s not a major upgrade, and the V39 II still faces strong competition from other budget-priced photo scanners. The updates are mostly on the software side, with new streamlined task processes linked to the scanner’s four onboard buttons, and some new adjustment settings that can help you fine-tune your scans. The new V39 II is a close match with its predecessor as far as the physical device is concerned. Both models are for home users and creative types who need occasional high-quality photo and document scanning. The Epson Perfection V39 II is an upgraded version of the Epson Perfection V39 flatbed scanner that we reviewed back in 2015.
