From the time we connected the scanner to our MacBook Plus with the USB cable to the time we started our fist scan was only a matter of minutes. The installation of the entire software package was straight-forward and relatively quick. While we were impressed with the hardware side of the FF-640, Epson has done a great job of matching it with a great piece of software. But the real power is in an additional application called Epson FastFoto with Smart Photo Fix. That includes the Epson TWAIN driver, Epson Scan and Document Capture applications, both of which can be used for both documents and photo scanning.

In the box is the Epson FastFoto FF-640 scanner, the appropriate power supply and electric cord, a Start Here poster, a carrier sheet for photos that are delicate or in poor condition, a cleaning cloth and a USB 2.0 cable to connect the scanner to your computer. Both scanners share the same profile and are within 2 inches of each other in size. ![]() When you first open the box, the Epson FastFoto FF-640 looks very similar to the Epson DS-560 document scanner (read our review here). If you have a large collection of printed photos and don’t know how to preserve them in a digital format, the new Epson FastFoto FF-640 scanner may be the answer you are looking for. ![]()
