Great review. I have sworn by Epson scanners since the mid 1990's. If I might make a suggestion to unlock the true power and capabilities of the scanner, I would highly recommend checking out VueScan by Hamrick Software. The software has a lot of options, and as a bonus will run on Linux, macOS and Windows. Much more capable than the included Epson software, which sadly hasn't changed substantially since the Windows 3.x days.

[@PE4Doers]

That great to know. Thanks Jeremy.

[@uwesoltau4923]

I got the V19 as a present from a friend but he did not have a manual. It's all set up and going now after watching your video. Thanks a lot

thank you so much

[@PE4Doers]

You are quite welcome. Ar you buying (or have purchased) one of these units?

[@lukeanddaleigh]

Hey David! Here to show my support.

[@PE4Doers]

Thank You Da Leigh, that is very much appreciated. Did you see my latest upload? Can I count on you for an Academy Award nomination (J/K)?

[@lukeanddaleigh]

@@PE4Doers I'm not sure if I did, but I will go check. You can count on me! 😉

[@1981jbos]

Very helpful video. Does the scanner allow you to scan multiple pages into a single pdf? Thanks!

[@PE4Doers]

Yes, it does. you have to pick the correct options however.

[@march149]

This is the first of your videos I have seen. I just replaced my Epson V30 to a V19. The step by step instructions were very helpful to me, as I am not too hi tech. Thank you. Question - Can I print something to come out the exact size of the image? And yes, I subscribed.

[@PE4Doers]

There are several print options. When you say 'exact size' do you mean as the original? If so, I do that all the time with the default setting except for resolution (I use 600). I just looked at the settings and it seems that is how it would default. Also, thanks for subscribing :)

[@march149]

@@PE4Doers I have that figured out, thanks. Now I am having trouble finding the page as to where I can store my scans, Where can I get the settings box to do that?

[@PE4Doers]

@@march149 After you 'Pause' the automatic scan, go into "Customize" then 'File Save Settings". You get to choose a location (directory) then able to pick a pre-fix and a stating sequential number.

[@march149]

@@PE4Doers Thanks, I think I have it. I will also explore your other videos. I do appreciate the help and this great video.

[@PE4Doers]

@@march149 No problem at all.

[@heartofmovies2204]

I just bought v39 model , is there a way to turn it off without pulling the cable from the computer

[@PE4Doers]

Unfortunately not on the device. I bought a USB hub with 4-ports and physical switches that I place under my monitor table for easy access (Velro upside down).

[@bitsmart...]

is there ani´o text scanning software with ocr as well?

[@PE4Doers]

It did not come with OCR software like some of the higher priced scanners, however there are several highly rated FreeWare OCR programs on the Internet.

[@kamleshbhardwaj6576]

I've bought new V19 Scanner but scan copy are skewed while I'm placing document perfectly linear Any solution?

[@PE4Doers]

the sensor must have popped out of alignment in shipping. I would send it back for a replacement.

[@dwightcarlson7136]

Is there a way to turn off this scanner? i.e. other than unplugging the USB? this is for a V39

[@PE4Doers]

Sorry, there is not. What I did is added a USB 4-port hub that has switched for each of the ports. Then I turn it on when I need it, and it works just fine. Here is the one I bought: amzn.to/3SOcI3u

[@squishy4728]

how did you tearn it on?

[@PE4Doers]

It comes on once power is applied.

[@topsi91]

Can you tell me how can I detach the lid entirely? I saw it's possible, but I can't remove it (if i scan thicker books ect)?

[@PE4Doers]

You need to lift it up in the back, then Open it a usual and it will disengage the lid from the unit.

[@topsi91]

@@PE4Doers I have to lift the whole lid after lifting it a bit horizontally? How could I put it back then? :) btw, does your scanner still works the same? I read some reviews that after a few weeks it stops, hopefully won't happen to mine. I also notice it collect dust on the glass all the time. How do you clean it?

[@PE4Doers]

@@topsi91 You start with the top 90 degrees to the base, then slip the black tabs gently into the 'rear-most' grey slots. It should slip in without any force.

[@PE4Doers]

Also, Mine is working just fine.

[@dazz0309]

Scan 35mm film?

[@PE4Doers]

I have not tried that. I know that some scanners have an accessory that allows you to do that, but that is not included with this one.

[@bitsmart...]

did you found the pdf, send to, copy software to operate scanner direct from screen not with the buttons?

[@PE4Doers]

I have not tried that, but will look into it and post a reply if it works for me.

[@vijayveeramootoo8533]

After 2 years it doesnt work at all and during the period I used it like 15-20 times.

[@PE4Doers]

Have you tried removing and re-installing the driver software?

[@vijayveeramootoo8533]

@@PE4Doers Yes, but it did not work. Anyway I found a tutorial how to reset scanner. All you need to do is press the button next to blue light for 5 sec. before you plug it and then another 10 sec. after is plugged already. Now it works without any problems.

[@PE4Doers]

@@vijayveeramootoo8533 WOW, thanks for the information.
