Overview
The Epson FastFoto FF-680W is a sheet-fed photo and document scanner built to get through thousands of loose prints quickly, handling a 4 x 6 inch photo in about one second at 300 dpi. Its automatic document feeder takes up to 36 photos or 100 sheets of plain paper at a time, and SafeTouch technology carries prints up to 8.5 inches wide, including Polaroid instant photos and panoramas, through the mechanism with minimal chance of tearing or creasing. Optical resolution is 600 dpi with up to 1200 dpi interpolated output, producing a 30-bit colour scan that the bundled Epson FastFoto software enhances automatically with colour restoration, red-eye removal, de-skew, crop and rotate. There is no on-board screen or memory: scanning is driven from a computer over USB 3.0 or wirelessly over built-in Wi-Fi, and finished files can be uploaded to Google Drive or Dropbox in one step. It is a sheet feeder, so it scans loose prints rather than pages still bound in an album, and album or scrapbook pages must be taken apart before feeding.
