Just Unpacked my New Epson V700- need help

[raid]

Guys, I need your advice on where to get an AC adapter that will work with my V700. I have no cords at all for it.

I contacted Epson about it, and they told me that the ac adapter for my Epson 3170 will not work on the V700.
I went online to the Epson Store to buy it there, but all I can find are ink cartridges.

A seller on ebay is selling an ac adapter that supposedly works for the 3170 and the V700.
"AC Adapter For Epson Perfection V700 3170 Scanner Charger Power Supply Cord New"
I have the ac adapter and cord for my 3170.

Raid: just type in "power supply Epson V700" into the ebay search engine and buy the least expensive one you can find.

Hi Benjamin,
If I can use the ac adapter from the Epson 3170 (as one of the four ebay sellers is claiming), then I already have it here. I worries me that the seller is making such a claim while Epson customer service say that they do not match.
Yes you can use the USB cable from the 3176 Epson scanner on the V700.

I guess there are two variables: the output of the adapter and the size/shape of the adapter plug. Epson USA lists the power requirements here:

http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&sku=B11B178011

Rated Voltage: AC 100 – 120 V

Frequency: 50 – 60 Hz

Power Consumption: 32 W

Another option would be to take the scanner to a Radio Shack and see how far you can get with the sales clerks there. Yet another would be to find a local retailer who stocks the unit and see whether they have a spec sheet that would be more detailed. I looked at the Ebay auctions and, you are right, there is not very much useful information there.

I also unpacked my V700, and tried on it all cables from the 3170, and they fit.
I may be ready to go.

I will force myself to use the V700 by not sending out the MF rolls for developing and scans, but I will request developing only.

Thank you, Benjamin.


The ac adapter for the 3170 is also for AC 100-120 V, for same frequencies. It states also for input 35W and for output 24V.
So it should be able to handle the power consumption of 32W.

Looking forward to seeing some scans, Raid! Good luck. - Ben

I appreciate the tips, Ben. This thread made me finally forget about how I purchased the scanner and how disappointed I was, but it is time to move one (It is about New Year!).

I use the supplied Epson scan software but sparingly. Essentially I check the Dust Removal option and adjust the histogram accordingly.
I also prefer to scan at 4800dpi, save as TIFF. I make all other adjustments in LR, resize, and save as JPEG. I then delete the TIFF (to save disk space). You always have the negative that you can scan later if necessary.

These are good tips to know about.
I have LR3 on one of my computers,
