Sheet-fed Scanner Epson FastFoto FF-680W 600x600 DPI Black

The Epson FastFoto FF-680W is a high-speed sheet-fed scanner designed for fast digitisation of printed photos and documents. With an optical resolution of 600 x 600 DPI, 30-bit input and 24-bit output colour depth, and a 100-sheet feeder, it supports standard, square, panoramic and instant photos from 9x13 cm up to 21x91 cm. The scanner includes intelligent back-side detection for photos and a CIS sensor with RGB LED illumination to ensure consistent scan quality.

Advantages

The FastFoto FF-680W scans large volumes quickly — up to 30 photos in 30 seconds — and processes single- or double-sided documents at up to 45 ppm. Its FastFoto software provides automated tools for cropping, rotation, colour restoration and brightness/contrast enhancement, plus the option to save both enhanced and original files. Output formats include JPEG for easy sharing and TIFF for maximum image quality, and the software supports direct sharing via email and automatic upload to cloud services such as Dropbox and Google Drive. OCR capability makes scanned documents editable in Word or Excel and searchable as PDFs.

Suitable for

• Digitising family photo collections, including panoramic and instant prints

How to use

Load photos or documents into the 100-sheet automatic feeder and select the appropriate scan mode in the FastFoto software. Choose options for automatic correction (cropping, rotation, colour restoration, brightness/contrast) and decide whether to save enhanced, original, or both versions. Select the desired file format (JPEG or TIFF) and destination (local folder, email, or cloud service). For documents that require text editing, enable OCR before scanning to generate editable Word or Excel files and searchable PDFs.

Usage recommendations

For best results, clean the scanner’s feeder path and glass regularly, avoid bent or heavily curled photos, and batch similar-sized items together. When archiving originals, keep a copy of the unenhanced scan as a backup; use TIFF for preservation and JPEG for sharing.
