Directly after installing the scanner, I was disappointed by the ArcSoft software that received been installed. It proceeded to generate a pop-up window that required that I set the text size for it’s windows, even though I’d never commenced the software myself. Worse, the setting apparently did not save — the window kept re-appearing. What’s sad is that that software is not even something I wanted to install. It was not described in the physical documentation, was not documented in the electronic manual, and I received to comb through forums to detect out even *where* it received been installed. That’s an indication of poorly designed and poorly delivered software with full disregard for the user. Epson should at least receive provided more information about it ahead it was installed, and in the manual thence that it could be trouble-shot. It certainly soured my receive of their scanner, regardless of how good the equipment is. Including software that they continue such poor cover of is a mistake.

As well, the user maneuver is a loosely linked set of one-sentence blurts about the cite of what window comes up when you button a button. It’s a long fashion from a amply descriptive document about the ways in which the scanner could be used, the processes for doing so, and more importantly, the reasons for doing so. The sentences are thence short, it’s equally if they don’t want you to read the manual. I even receive no idea how to make a scan of multiple pages into a individual file, even though several “out-take boxes” look to indicate it should happen. Why is fundamental information in such a manual left to “out-take boxes”? Also very disappointing.
