Photos printed from slides and film showed no serious flaws.

On the other hand, they also brought out detail in dark areas better than the originals, clearly showing the two shades of black in the father-of-the-bride's tuxedo-a detail that most scanners would miss. Prints that I scanned and then printed out on an Epson PictureMate printer were only slightly inferior to the originals, losing a touch of detail in bright areas, like the white-on-white patterns in a bridal gown. The V300's scan quality is surprisingly good for the price. All three features are simple to use and are reasonably effective. Color restore brings back color to faded photos dust removal digitally removes dust specks from images and backlight correction automatically brings out details in the foreground of a picture with a bright background-like a photo of a face against a bright sky. On the other hand, there are at least three features worth exploring that you find only in the Home and Professional modes. Not so incidentally, the Full Auto Mode does a good enough job on prints and transparencies that casual users will likely be more than happy with the results. In between, the Home Mode and Office Mode let you control some key settings without being overwhelmed by the choices.

At the other extreme, the Professional Mode gives you full manual control over such sophisticated settings as color correction and tonal balance. Simply hit a scan button and the driver will run a prescan, analyze what it sees, choose appropriate settings, and then scan. The Twain driver installs in Full Auto Mode. This obviously doesn't make scanning multipage documents as easy as with an automatic document feeder (ADF), but it's as easy as it can be without one.Р В Р’В Р Р†Р вЂљРЎСљР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В®pson has done an excellent job of giving users the choice between ease of use and control over scanning.

After scanning each page, you can either choose a button on-screen or press the one on the scanner to scan another page, or choose the PDF button again to end the scan.

One particularly nice touch is that you can easily scan multiple pages to a PDF file. The Send to a PDF file command is set by default to recognize the text first and save to searchable PDF format. Pressing the copy button brings up a copy utility that lets you set options like number of copies and type of document before sending the scan to your printer, and the e-mail button launches an e-mail message on your PC and adds the scanned document as an attachment. The V300 has four buttons: One simply brings up the scan utility, the other three are for copy, e-mail, and save to PDF.

Bundled software for Windows includes Epson's own scan utility, ArcSoft MediaImpression 6 for managing and editing photos, Abbyy FineReader 6.0 Sprint Plus for recognizing text, and both Twain and WIA drivers to let you scan directly from most Windows programs with a scan command.Р В Р’В Р Р†Р вЂљРЎСљР В Р’В Р Р†Р вЂљРЎвЂєs with most scanners today, you can start a scan by calling up the scan utility-either directly or with the scan command in a program, or by using a button on the device.

I tested the scanner using Windows Vista, but according to Epson, it also comes with drivers and a full set of programs for Windows 2000 Professional, XP, XP Р В Р’В Р вЂ™Р’ВµР В Р Р‹Р РЋРІвЂћСћР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р вЂ™Р’В 4, and Mac OS 10.3.9 and later.

Simply install the software and then plug in the power cord and supplied USB cable.

Note that if you don't need transparency scanning, Epson also sells the V30 ($79.99 direct), which Epson says is the identical scanner minus the transparency adapter.Р В Р’В Р Р†Р вЂљРЎСљР В Р’В Р Р†Р вЂљРЎвЂєs with the 5600F, setting up the V300 is standard fare. Only the V300, however, uses LEDs for scanning transparencies the 5600F relies on a traditional light source, a cold-cathode fluorescent lamp. Both offer 4,800-pixel-per-inch (ppi) optical resolution both have transparency scanning limits of only four slides or one six-frame strip of film at a time and both use LEDs as their light source for reflective scans, essentially eliminating warm-up time and yielding consistent speeds from one scan to the next. You won't find many differences in basics between the V3F, but the few that exist are in the V300's favor. It's also comparable with, yet cheaper than, the Canon CanoScan 5600F, which is enough to warrant having the V300 replace the 5600F as Editors' Choice. Coming a year after the now discontinued V350 Photo scanner, it is $50 cheaper and can run rings around the V350 in performance, particularly for scanning transparencies-both slides and strips of film. The Epson Perfection V300 Photo scanner ($99.99 direct, which includes a one-year parts-and-labor warranty) is a case in point. Scanner technology tends to improve over time, benefiting consumers mostly through lowering the cost for a given level of capability.
