Comments about Epson Perfection 4490 Photo Flatbed Scanner with Auto Document Feeder:
Setup was a breeze. The software worked exactly as it stated in the instructions. I found it easier to use than other scanner software.
I use this for scanning mostly 8 x11 documents but I tried scanning a business card the other day. It took a few tries to understand how to use the media plate accessory but I got it done.
Its operation is louder that I expected. My previous Microtek scanner was quieter. But, its a lot faster. The feeder works almost everytime. Only one jam so far.

Comments about Epson Perfection 4490 Photo Flatbed Scanner with Auto Document Feeder:
Scanner was easy to get up and running and easy to use - great for people who want to digitize their filing cabinets. Small size so it doesnt take up a ton of space in our house.

Comments about Epson Perfection 4490 Photo Flatbed Scanner with Auto Document Feeder:
I have just started working with the scanner and as I newbie I am pretty happy. It is relatively fast for manually placed objects. The automated document feeder is somewhat finicky so that it requires your attention. Large (80pages) jobs took me about 30 minutes, so the practical page scans per minute is a lot lower than advertised. However, this is not surprising considering this is a home scanner. The software is relatively straightforward. Overall its pretty good and serves the needs of a small home office.

Comments about Epson Perfection 4490 Photo Flatbed Scanner with Auto Document Feeder:
Before purchase, I was informed the automatic document feeder could handle photos. This is not the case as every second or third photo, the feeder jams. It is not worth the extra money.

Comments about Epson Perfection 4490 Photo Flatbed Scanner with Auto Document Feeder:
I purchased this scanner exclusively for its auto feed feature - allowing me to scan document packages (uo to 30 pages at a time) with great ease. Once I had figured out the correct settings in the Epson Scan software (comes with the scanner) and make it work with my already installed Adobe Professional software, I was able to scan quickly and without hang ups. Assembly is easy if the included instructions are followed step-by-step. However, preparation of all document pages is important to avoid paper jams: creased edges, staples, or tears are no-nos (like with the autofeed of a copier). I own another Epson scanner and have always been impressed with the resolution offered. Highly recommended!

Merchant response: Photos tend to be printed on thicker paper and must be fed with more care than thinner printed matter.
