Best gift I ever brought myself...I have so many family photos that belong to mother and grandmothers (both deceased) in old photo albums now I can save these memories and the writing on the back...JUST PRICELESS... best price too I caught mines on Amazon refurbished for $400.00 crazy thing is that the scanner is brand new. I just love it! I think the only thing I would have like if it had an option to save the photos directly to a Flash Drive.

What carrier sheet should I purchase? Do you recommend for every photo or is this the exception to the rule? In general can I just pop in photos out of all those cardboard boxes?

Does the carrier sheet come with this scanner?

I asked customer service if I scan with the Epson flatbed scanner it cannot be added to the fastfoto in the same photo batch

Scanner no longer allows me to scan with the carrier sheet - registers as a jam/too many photos every single time, even if the sleeve is empty. Same issue when scanning documents - but with scansmart there is the ability to ignore the jam error. There is no such override with fastfoto. Has anyone experienced the same and can recommend a fix? Seems to have happened with a software update a while back. Have previously scanned hundreds of photos and documents with the carrier sheet with no issue.

I have some cibachrome print, they are highly mirror glossy print, does this scanner handle such a print?

How can I start the scan number at a number other then 0001. I thought I finished the 1995 photos, then found another batch. I want to continue sending the photos to the 1995 folder, but start the scan number at the next higher number. Can I do that?

How do you clean the interior scanner to remove dust?

Ah... So I can't scan my Kodak EK6 instant photo's on this scanner. Got it :(
