4.0 out of 5 stars Serious consideration, December 21, 1999

By	"rshnmh" (Lawrence, Kansas USA) - See all my reviews

This scanner deserves serious consideration. Setup was a snap. The Epson Twain software has worked superbly in scanning and tweaking dozens of photos, both new and very old. Using in conjunction with an Epson Stylus Color printer, results have been significantly better than my previous scanner which cost more. Would recommend highly as a best buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great one from Epson, May 17, 2000

By	F. A. Soares (Modesto, Ca USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great scanner. I bought this scanner for the computer lab for the school I work at. Even with a great number of kids using the scanner everyday it has performed spectacularly even since we purchased it about 8 months ago. It is connected to an Imac at this time but it also worked flawlessly connected to a win 98 box, both of these where via USB. For the price it was much faster than I anticipated. Some of that is the faster connection of the USB. I would recommend this for not only a lab setting but also for home. If this thing works great in a computer lab, then it's certain to work great at home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value; good quality, fast scans, July 14, 2000

By	D. Ayars "dayars" (Deerfield, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been using this scanner for over a year now, and still like it very much. I bought it to replace a two-year old Umax parallel port scanner that was making me crazy with its glacially slow scans and hard-to-use software. The Epson Perfection 626 USB was much easier to install, does much faster pre-scans and final scans, comes with software that is a joy to use, and does scans that are a very high quality. The only problem I've had with this scanner is that sometimes after using my HP PhotoSmart Photo Scanner, the next time I try to use my Epson document scanner, I can't use it until I reinstall it within Windows (which just takes a few minutes). That may be the HP's fault, though, not Epson's, and it doesn't happen every time I use the HP. Speaking of scanning photos, the Epson does a pretty good job scanning color prints itself, as good as the HP Photo Scanner. It's not designed, however, to scan negatives or slides (unlike the HP), and at this price, it wouldn't do a very good job of that, anyway; the resolution would be too low. But if you're considering replacing an aging parallel port document scanner that you don't like, and you have a reasonably fast Pentium II PC or higher with a USB port, I think you'll find the Epson Perfection 636 USB scanner well worth the money.
