May 21, 2018 This appears to be the same problem I am facing with my Epson Perfection V700 Photo scanner. I installed the Windows 1803 update in May when Epson Scan started to crash. I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest scanner driver. I tried rolling back to an older graphics card driver. I also tried a different usb cable and port.

Bottom Line
The Epson Perfection 3490 Photo flatbed scanner produces high-quality photo print scans and reasonable-quality film scans at a record low price.
With digital photography becoming more and more the norm, the best justification for a flatbed designed for photo scanning is that it can scan at high enough quality to convert your old film-based photos to digital ones once and for all. The Epson Perfection 3490 Photo ($99.99 direct) is chiefly designed for people that want to scan old photos, but it takes a reasonable stab at 35-mm slides and negatives as well. The claimed 3,200-pixel-per-inch (ppi) optical resolution is far beyond what you need for prints and easily enough for scanning 35-mm film for printing at 8-by-10 or larger.
On our tests the 3490 did a good job with prints. When we compared the scan with the original, the only difference we saw was a barely discernable loss of sharpness in the copy. In general, the quality was in the same class as that of the Canon CanoScan 8400F, our current low-end Editors' Choice.
The 3940 also did a reasonably good job resolving detail in slide scans. At 2,400 ppi, detail and sharpness were roughly equivalent to 2,400-ppi scans from the 8400F, although not a match for the more expensive Canon CanoScan 9950F, which is also a current Editors' Choice. High resolution isn't all that's needed for scanning slides, however.
Scan quality for film is highly dependent on dynamic range—the ability to see all the steps in shading across the entire range from black to white. On one of our toughest test slides, which had a dark line of trees against a bright sky, the 3490 lost more detail in the tree line than either the CanoScan 8400F or the 9950F.
The 3490 still did a credible job with film, especially on less demanding slides, but adjusting settings to get the most from each image required more work than with the Canon printers—something more than a point-and-shoot photographer would probably want to do. Fortunately, the results using the default settings for most slides should be acceptable to most casual photographers, if not serious hobbyists.
Speed is well within a reasonable range. We timed the 3940 at 29 to 33 seconds for prescanning and scanning a 4-by-6 photo at a number of resolutions. Scanning a slide at 2,400 ppi took 1 minute 8 seconds. More important than raw scan speed, however, is that both the driver and hardware design help make scanning quick and easy.
The driver offers three modes, including a fully automatic mode that can handle all settings for you and usually produce a good scan; a professional mode that lets you tweak the image by adjusting settings such as brightness, contrast, saturation, color balance, and gamma (which effectively adjusts contrast differently for different levels of brightness); and a home mode that offers a tad more control than full auto mode.
If you have older, faded photos, you'll particularly like the driver's color-restore feature, which did as good a job as we've seen of bringing an old, faded test photo back to life. The driver also offers dust removal for slides and negatives, but not for prints. The feature, which is strictly software based, did a reasonably good job of removing dust in our test slides.
Setting up a film scan is easier than with most scanners, thanks largely to a template that's almost impossible to position incorrectly. The template holds up to three slides or a strip of film. If you plan to scan a lot of negatives, however, be sure to take a look at the 3490's close cousin, the Epson Perfection 3590 Photo, which includes an automatic film feeder. Also helping to speed up scanning are scan buttons on the front panel, including options to scan to e-mail, to your printer, and to PDF format.
Cleanmymac x 4 6 0 5. The scanner comes with bundled software for photo editing, OCR, and business cards. The OCR software works reasonably well, successfully reading both font-test pages in 8-point Times New Roman and Arial without a mistake, but the usefulness is limited by the lack of an automatic document feeder. The business-card software is hardly worth installing, with three or more errors in nine of the ten business cards we scanned. That makes the package only marginally useful for business-oriented applications. But if you want to scan photographic prints and—to a lesser extent—film, the Epson Perfection 3940 Photo can not only do the job, but do it at a surprisingly low price.
