Questions and answers
My Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner has a green error light. I have downloaded the driver and restarted my computer. I have attached the USB cord to the computer, but I cannot get the computer to recognize the scanner.
If the Epson Perfection V600 scanner has a solid green light but is not recognized by the computer, try the following steps:
1. Use the Epson Scan 2 software recommended for the scanner.
2. Ensure the scanner is connected directly using the USB cable provided.
3. If your computer has only USB-C ports, use a reliable USB-A to USB-C adapter.
4. Uninstall and reinstall the scanner drivers.
5. Restart the computer after reinstalling the drivers.
Note: Some users report issues when using adapters, but direct USB-C to USB-A connections with a quality adapter may still work.

Why is my V600 scanner unable to scann 6x6 images on 120 film? It constantly resets the target size to a default of 2.20x1.59 inches. It constantly resets trimming to on, no matter how many times I set it to "off". Why is your software not working?
The Epson V600 scanner can scan 6x6 images on 120 film, but issues occur if the settings are not configured correctly. In "thumbnail" mode, the scanner may incorrectly divide frames, creating more images than expected. To fix this, you need to use Professional scan mode, open the Configuration window, go to the Film tab, and select the correct medium format size (such as 6x6). Incorrect settings for film size or target area can cause problems with frame detection, leading to the need for adjusting target size and trimming manually.

When I scan larger photos (8x10), there is a red shadowy line down the side of the photo that I cannot get rid of. I have tried scanning in all different modes, with different configurations and cannot get rid of it
The document does not specifically mention fixing a red shadowy line appearing on scans from an Epson Perfection V600 when scanning 8x10 photos. However, you can try the following general troubleshooting steps for scan quality issues:
- Clean the document table or transparency unit window, as dust or dirt may cause scan artifacts.
- Check the brightness and contrast settings in Office Mode, Home Mode, or Professional Mode.
- Adjust the Display Gamma setting in the Color menu to match your output device.
- Enable Color Control and Continuous Auto Exposure in the Color menu.
- Reset the Auto Exposure setting to the default using the Recommended Value option.
- Use the Histogram Adjustment tool in Professional Mode to fine-tune brightness.
- Check the brightness and contrast settings of your computer monitor.
If the issue persists, inspecting the scanner for hardware defects or trying a different scanning mode may help.
