Product Description
Epson Perfection V39 — Compact, Accurate Flatbed Scanner
The Epson Perfection V39 is a slim, USB-powered flatbed scanner tailored for home offices, hobbyists, and small businesses that need high-quality scans without bulky equipment. With a low-profile design and easy setup, it connects directly to your computer and offers reliable performance for photos, documents, and delicate originals.
Key features and workflow
The V39 integrates with Epson’s scanning software suite — EPSON Scan, Easy Photo Scan and Document Capture — providing multiple scanning modes to match different needs. Quick, automated scans are available in Full Auto Mode, while Office, Standard and Professional modes give progressively finer control over resolution, color correction, dust removal and image adjustments. The scanner supports creating PDFs (including multi-page PDFs and searchable PDFs on Windows) and offers direct integration for sending scans to cloud services, email or printers via included utilities.
Physical handling is simple: place documents or photos face-down on the glass, align to the reference corner, and close the lid. For thicker originals, the lid can be removed; the scanner can also be positioned upright for space-saving storage or scanning certain items. Four one-touch buttons map to common tasks (Scan, Copy, Send, PDF) and can be customized using the Epson Event Manager.
Image quality tools include automatic exposure, histogram adjustment, tone curve, unsharp mask, dust removal and color restoration for faded photos. Document-specific options help optimize OCR and text clarity with features such as text enhancement, auto area segmentation and dropout/color optimization. Users can preview and fine-tune settings in Standard or Professional modes before committing to scans.
Maintenance and safety are straightforward: keep the glass clean, avoid placing heavy items on it, and follow manufacturer safety guidance regarding placement, cabling and handling. Epson provides comprehensive troubleshooting and support resources covering common scan issues, indicator lights, and software setup across Windows and Mac platforms.
Notes
- The V39 is USB-powered and compact, best suited for single-page or occasional multi-page scanning rather than high-volume industrial use.
- Multi-page PDF settings and searchable PDF creation (OCR) are supported on Windows via bundled software.
- Use Professional Mode for precise color work and advanced corrections; Full Auto Mode for fast, no-fuss scans.
