Excellent Scanner, but Mac Software Needs Polish January 5, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful

I purchased this scanner to import glossy photos into my Mac Pro. So far, it has been a pleasure. Scan times are short at typical resolutions. The scanner really shines when the auto feeder is used; it can take a multipage document and render it into a PDF in no time at all. Unfortunately, if you use this scanner with a Mac, you will be somewhat disappointed with the software. Yes, the software is a Universal Binary program that works well in Leopard, but it lacks quite a bit of polish. I found myself using Photoshop CS3, Mac OS X's built-in Image Capture, and even third-party scanning software to achieve that "Mac-like" simplicity and elegance when interfacing between my Mac and this scanner. I hope Epson will dedicate more resources to updating their Mac software; it's the only missing link in this package as far as I am concerned.

This machine is NOT compatible with Windows Vista machines regardless what the description says. Epson tech support was horrible. The drivers will NOT work with a Vista machine.

Epson 4990: A great buy for the money May 19, 2007
14 out of 14 found this review helpful

I give high ratings to this scanner.br /br /The office scanner does come with the transparency materials that the Photo version offers and it comes with the automatic feeder. Previously I had a seven year old Epson 1640 Office.br /br /I use the scanner for two different purposes:br /Office: Where I use Paperport and Omnipage (OCR).br /br /Art: Where I use Photoshop and In Design to scan in photos and illustrations, but black and white and color, sometimes from older, yellowed material.br /br /This worked so well and so much better than the previous Epson I was surprised. After I played with the setting for 30 minutes I was able to scan in pictures and illustrations that were just great. The settings often eliminated the yellow backgrounds of old paper and made the flesh colors far more realistic. What took a bit of time in Photoshop now took no time at all. The colors we accurate.br /br /It worked very quickly and well for my office use in Paperport and Omnipage. The feeder worked well and fast when scanning in black and documents at 150-200 dpi.br /br /Unlike the old scanner, this scanner puts setting into three modes. Home, Office and Professional, but believe it or not, I just use the home mode for most of what I do. Each mode gives you several options and that is what I played with for 30 minutes. In the preview mode, you can "play" with the various settings and adjust the picture to your preference, before you do the actual scan. After a few time, I learned what settings for what kind of picture and so it does not take long. The picture quality is far superior than the Epson 1640. I was really surprised.br /br /Epson software also comes with a "Scan Direct" button, where you can scan directly into any program or your printer.br /br /Legal size documents do have to use the Automatic Document Feeder. The flatbed scanning area is about 12 inches so most of my Legal documents would still fit there, but an extra inch would have been nice. It is a bit louder than I would like and scanner is never instant, especially when you are scanning in at high dpi, but those would not be serious considerations for me in buying the unit.br /br /My only serious disappointment is that NO instruction manual is included, nor is a PDF one put on the disc. Instead, you most have internet access to web style pages, that you cannot even print out as a book. I think I was at an advantage having the similar previous one, but this was a disappointment.br /br /br /

Epson 4490 scanner March 22, 2007

My wife has scanned many documents and photographic prints, and this ADF scanner works extremely well. She is pleased, and the results are excellent. It has been easy to use for both photo prints and documents, with the photo problem correction software supplied. It works well with Omni Page Pro 15.
