Anybody remember the 1958 movie, "The Fly"?
Where the scientist ended up with his head spliced onto a fly's body and was flying around saying "Help Me, Help Me"? That's the V500 Office scanner. The base of the scanner is the V500 Photo scanner. The top comes from something else. They work together, but aesthetically they don't exactly match...they aren't even made out of the same color of plastic.
When you first open the box, you find a complete V500 Photo scanner and a separate Automatic Document Feeder. All of the setup instructions refer to the base unit.

A fairly decent photo and office scanner
I switched to the Epson Perfection V500 Office Scanner from a Fujitsu ScanSnap S500 Clr 18PPM/36IPM Dupl Scanner, which I love, but is not really designed for scanning photos. The advantage of this model over the Scansnap (and other scanners), is that it is specifically targeted for photo scanning, but also contains a document feeder for office work. Prior to this, there has never really been a sufficient product for photo scanning and semi-large scale office work. That is because no one likes to put photos through a document feeder, which usually will not handle small photos well, skew the images, or simply tear them to shreds. Almost all photo scanners use a flatbed for this very reason. I have used other scanners, such as the HP ScanJet 5590 Digital FlatBed Scanner, which contain a flatbed and a feeder (and even photo negative...
