Warm up is virtually nil (it uses LED's) as opposed to the MFU or AIO unit that often take fifteen seconds every time you want to scan. One thing that the scanner from a MFU or AIO is unlikely to have is Digital ICE a feature to remove dust and scratches from film. So just finding a few unreplaceable images makes the cost worthwhile.

I am always amazed that with film negatives they always manage to get separated from the printed pictures and only by using a product like this do you stand a chance of finding that long lost image that frequently cannot be replaced, certainly true as you become older. It does this job well and indeed whenever I review one of these specialist units I always transfer some of my transparencies and negatives to the PC. It is likely that to want this scanner you have a lot of negatives or transparencies that you want to digitise. Doing a full install takes around 360MB of hard disc space under XP. Heres how to Download Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner Driver for Windows 11/10/8/7.

What would no longer be possible when using Image Capture in his workflow? I assume Image Capture can scan as 16 bit Tiff or similar meaning all adjustments could be done post-scanning? The main function I am concerned about is infrared dust removal: would this be possible at all using Image Capture in the workflow? I would like to advise my father on his options, but need to understand the following: I have read about VueScan as an alternative, and the V500 is listed as compatible but I do wonder if that is the case for macOS 10.15 as well as the Vue Scan website refers to installing the Epson driver (which would not be possible in macOS10.15). My understanding is that, as of now, Epson only supplies a scanner driver that makes it compatible with Apple's Image Capture, not with the new Epson Scan 2. The new device comes with 10.15 Catalina and (sadly) his Epson Perfection V500 scanner is not fully supported. My father's iMac broke down and he had to replace it.
