No wonder, but quite good

Leading the way: One should not be irritated by that of Perfection has a CCD sensor. While they are happy denigrated as outmoded, but have opposite CIS sensors a significant advantage: the much greater depth of field. In the often-praised modern CIS sensors to be scanned must be completely flat on the glass plate; Irregularities are displayed blurry. Not so with CCD sensors that can cope easily with major irregularities or intervals.
The disadvantage (?) Of CCD sensors (and correspondingly the Epson Perfection) is that it has its own power supply (supplied by the USB is not enough) and a higher construction need (based on CCD sensors devices are slightly higher than devices with CIS sensor ). The supplied adapter is m. E. unnecessarily large and bulky.
About advantages and disadvantages of white LEDs as a light source for scanners compared to RGB you can discuss long. In my experience, both excellent results can provide when their quality and the appropriate software voices. In this regard, nothing to complain about the Perfection: Excellent results with the color test chart.
Processing: As the industry increasingly common also makes the Perfection not particularly solid impression. Rather the opposite. While I hold less concern when it comes to electronics, optics and precision mechanics, I wonder how long the control buttons and will keep the hinge, not to mention the impact resistance and other minor accidents entirely.
The 4 control buttons are programmable, with me whose benefit is puzzling because all they bring basically to open the corresponding application in the computer. Just simply scanning and scanning to PDF can be done directly on the scanner. And that if the appropriate settings have been made in advance on the computer only.
For the scanning of bound Schreibgut the lid can be up to 2.5 cm lift. For thicker originals he can not lose weight, but open 180 °, so that he would not stand in the way.
Location Sensitivity: The scanner should be placed on a flat and reasonably level surface, but in this regard is quite sufficiently and can withstand shocks surprisingly well. This property together with its small dimensions and weight allow its meaningful placement on many of the most common printers. Yet too severe vibrations or poking during scanning should be avoided.
Getting used to the orientation of the scan template, with the top left corner to the lower right. But that seems to be the new fashion.

Software: The installation in Windows is running smoothly and that the scanner is recognized immediately and once completed is actually ready. However, it is worthwhile to employ a bit more closely at the driver (Epson Scan).
Epson Scan has four modes: Each mode has a number of preset values, which can not be changed for the part. In ascending order of flexibility they are called: Fully automatic, standard, office and professional. In Professional Mode, you can not only practical change all parameters of the scanner, but also very practical save your settings in different profiles. The other modes should be treated with caution. Especially the fully automatic often does not seem to be able to recognize the extent of the original to be scanned properly and map (ADDENDUM:. The unit seems to need to learn after I've used it for several days and without my (conscious) engagement now. the extent recognized correctly in all modes and displayed. The ease of use is thus increased considerably).
Document Capture Pro allows the scanning, processing and sending of document groups to external servers (cloud), but also to local folders.
Additional software:
Copy Utility: Allows you to use the interconnection scanner + computer + printer as a (color) copiers. Works pretty well, even with printers of other manufacturers.
Online manuals: Quite a disaster. The bad habit to provide instructions for use only as a file available is bad enough, but at least they should be offered in a pleasant-to-read and easy to print (PDF, for example) and not as web pages, where even the navigation leaves much to be desired.
The included OCR software ABBYY FineReader has a good reputation and in my experience it is usually sufficient for sporadic use. But it is annoying because it implants itself as an add-in in the Normal template of Word, is activated at each start and at each new document and can be rein only with drastic measures (for easy removal is not enough: they're back!).
The collection of ICC color profiles can only be from the genuine interest, if you will apply them consistently color management in image processing.
The ArcSoft MediaImpression is only of interest if one does not yet have appropriate software, or is dissatisfied with it.
In summary, the Perfection V37 a picture in which outweigh the extremely positive aspects. Particularly high I expect to, in addition to optoelectronics and precision engineering, the good agreement with the driver (in the Professional Mode) enables extensive control of the hardware.
