The best reviews are those that come from satisfied customers who have used the product for a time:
It works incredibly well. The photo feeder will pull up to 24 pics, scan, process, and eject them. You can define the folders and the scan quality for the process. With good condition photos, I have not had a single jam – very impressive.
Some photos I have were in albums, and after peeling them off, were curled. The feeder did take these in too, but with only occassional jamming.
The automatic feeder in general though is very impressive.
The process is not very fast – maybe about a minute or so per print. So this is not something to sit and wait for. Do something else and then come back to add prints, or set it up to do a stack at night.
The scan qualities are very good. Color and sharpness are fine. The quality of the scan is dependent on the quality of the original of course.
I’ve also scanned using the flat bed – this works very well too. If you put multiple prints on the glass, and separate them with some space, the software will recognize them and scan them in as separate images.”

Epson Automatic PHOTO AND BUSINESS CARD Scanner
In case you already have an existing Epson Perfection Scanner (2480, 2580, 3490 or 3590), you can turn it into an automatic photo scanner by coupling it with the Epson PHOTO AND BUSINESS CARD FEEDER.
This is a multi-photo/business card feeder that works perfectly with Epson Perfection 2480, Epson Perfection 2580, Epson Perfection 3490, Epson Perfection 3590. Scans a stack of up to 24 4″ x 6″ photos or business cards.
Some satisfied customer reviews:
I purchased an epson perfection 2480 automatic photo scanner a couple of years ago and after having scanned more than 1000 photos over the last several weeks, I am convinced that this is the best of its kind (automatic photo scanner with feeder) in the market. I also have an HP photo scanner which routinely jams, the software freezes up, and numerous reboots are required. Not so with this scanner and feeder. It takes up to 30 photos of the same size, and scans them without a hitch. The software is adequate and provides enough flexibility as to the types of scans (whether photographs or business cards) that you can adjust for your preferences. Easy to use, works great!
This automatic photo scanner feeder is so great I must post a review. I have scanned over 3,000 pictures with this feeder and my Espon 3490 scanner in about a month. The process is simple. You put pictures in the scanner, press the button, and come back later and you photos are scanned in. It scans about 10 per hour. The speed depends on your computer’s power since it uses you CPU to adjust the scan. If you have an Espon scanner that works with this feeder it is a must buy.
Works like a charm. A little bit slow but by far a better solution than scanning by hand. Remember to wipe the dust off of the flatbed after each batch.
