Just Unpacked my New Epson V700- need help

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.

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.
