The software impressed me, there's no bloat and even though this scanner came out in 2007 there's a version for Windows 11 and MacOS 10.15. It seems to be the same part as the V600.Ī nice little scanner that can do either documents or camera film. I 3D printed some but I think you can find them pretty easily online. Note: If you're using this for film (I am) you need the film holders that shipped with it originally. Make sure you have the plastic film holders!
(The example below is from another one of my scanners set up in the way described above.Great no-fuss film scanner. Now start the program and your scanner should automatically be recognised and be ready for use. Now it's probably best to logout and login again and then switch your scanner on and go to the menu to find the iscan program in the graphics tab. Now locate your downloaded files and use software-center or gdebi to install the iscan-data first and then the main iscan package (and after that the plugin if necessary). You may also want to select the user guide for iscan the English version is listed on the site as userg_revQ_e.pdf. If you want the additional plugin ( iscan-plugin-gt-x770_2.1.2-1_b for a 32 bit system), please go back to the original screen and select it. Referring to the above screenshot, for a 32 bit system you would thus choose the following packages for your scanner: iscan_2.29.1-5~usb0.1.ltdl7_b (The debs with usb0.1.ltdl3 in the deb title are for Ubuntu versions 8.04 and lower.) However, it is also very important to note that if you are using an Ubuntu version that is 8.10 or higher (which mostly everyone is), you must choose the deb file that contains usb0.1.ltdl7 somewhere in its title. You need both the data and the core packages, as noted by the FAQ. If you are on a 32 bit system, you will need the package that has i386 in it or if you are on a 64 bit system you will need the ones with x86_64 or amd_64 in them. As noted in the comments by JoZ3 the preferred site is now the Epson download centre rather than the old Avays site.įirst, select the scanner model and OS from the Epson site, and then refer to the important FAQ, which explains the packages and the order they need to be installed.Īfter you click accept on the driver download page for your model (V500 in this case), there are a lot of confusing options as detailed below: It is worth explaining in detail which packages to choose as the download site is quite confusing.
The following general instructions will work for your model and any other ones listed on the site. If your scanner doesn't work with simple scan, it is probably best to install the iscan package.
