Automatic Feed Photo Scanners
By | August 4, 2007
If your like most people you probably have boxes or albums with photos laying around that you have been meaning to scan into your computer someday. You quickly realize that it is a major pain in the ass and push off the project for some other time.
I did a little research and found that the HP ScanJet 5530 Scanner had an autofeed feature, but the reviews are kind of crappy.
I went to the Epson web site saw they have a photo feeder that can be adapted to fit on a scanner. You simply remove the cover of the scanner and replace it with the auto feeder. It works with the Epson Perfection 2480 or 2580 scanners. I think it may also work with the 3490 & 3590 Scanners.
These scanners are no longer in retail stores but they can be found on ebay.
So for about $240 I was able to assemble an automatic photo scanner.
It works really well ! You can load about 25 pictures into the tray. It takes about 15-20 minutes to scan 25 pics. It isn’t terribly fast but you can do other things while the pics are scanning. You can scan hundreds of pictures in a day no problem.
