Key Features & Capabilities

Here are the main features you get with the FF‑680W, along with caveats and user feedback.

Feature What It Does Specs / Notes Pros / Trade‑offs
Scanning speed & throughput Very fast for personal / small business use Epson claims ~1 photo per second (4×6, 300 dpi) for photo mode.  For documents: ~45 ppm / 90 ipm (300 dpi) in color/duplex mode.  Excellent for scanning many photos; but speed will vary depending on DPI, file format, network or USB interface, and complexity of enhancements
Optical / interpolated resolution & color depth Good quality for consumer / archival scans 600 dpi optical, up to 1200 dpi interpolated Internal color depth: 30‑bit; external (saved) color: 24‑bit. Grayscale internal 10‑bit, external 8‑bit.  For many use cases, 600 dpi is sufficient for archiving. Beyond that (1200 dpi), you rely on interpolation.
Media / format support Versatile support for photo sizes & documents Photo / print sizes: from ~2″×2″ up through panoramas up to 8.5″×36″ (some sources up to 21.6 × 91 cm) Document sizes: up to 8.5″ × 240″ (for long documents)  Very flexible. The trade-off is that very thin, very old, or fragile photos may be stressed during feeding (rollers / handling)
Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) Enables batch scanning Holds ~36 photos or ~100 sheets of documents (80 g/m²)  Great for bulk jobs. But randomness of mixed sizes or fragile prints may require manual handling
Image enhancement / processing Built‑in features to improve and organize scans Epson’s “Perfect Picture Imaging System” handles auto enhancement, color restoration, red-eye reduction, de-skew, auto crop/rotate, etc. Also, “Single-Step Technology” allows capturing front and back (handwritten notes) of photos in one pass.  Helpful to reduce manual postprocessing. But users sometimes report artifacts or overcorrection in darker areas (see “Cautions / Downsides”)
OCR / Document scanning Converts scanned documents into editable/searchable formats Comes with Epson ScanSmart software, which includes OCR (Nuance OmniPage) to produce Word, Excel, searchable PDF.  Useful for receipts, paperwork, historical documents with both images and text
Connectivity Options for flexible setup USB 3.0 SuperSpeed and WiFi (802.11 b/g/n)  Wireless is convenient (no cable), but may be slower or less reliable than USB, especially for high-volume scanning
Software / ecosystem For managing, uploading, organizing, exporting Epson FastFoto software (for batch photo workflows), Epson ScanSmart (for document workflows) are included. Also, “Easy Auto-Upload” for cloud integration (Dropbox, Google Drive) as you scan.  The software is central to usability. Some users have reported software bugs, especially with large volumes or on Mac. (See “User Reports / Drawbacks”)
Footprint & physical specs Size, weight, power, etc. Dimensions: ~11.7″ × 6.7″ × 6.9″ (W×D×H)  Weight: ~8.2 lb / ~3.7 kg  Power consumption: (USB) operating ~17 W, ready ~9.2 W, sleep ~1.2 W, off ~0.1 W; (Wireless) ~18 W operating, ~9.2 W ready, ~1.4 W sleep, ~0.1 W off  Relatively compact; easy to fit on desktop. Low power consumption in idle states
Operating environment Temperature, humidity, etc. Operating temperature: ~41 °F to 95 °F (5 °C to 35 °C)  Humidity range: ~15% to 80% relative (non-condensing) Avoid extreme conditions to prevent moisture damage or feeding issues
Warranty / service Support & reliability expectations 1-year limited warranty (US / Canada)  As with most consumer scanners; extended warranty or support may be beneficial for high usage environments

Best suited for:

  • Bulk scanning of many prints (e.g. family photographs, albums) where speed is valuable

  • Scanning standard-size photos (4×6, 5×7) and postcards

  • Environments where moderate image quality is acceptable (for archiving or sharing)

  • Users who benefit from software automation, cloud upload, OCR for documents

  • Offices or homes where you want both photo and document scanning in one device
