How to Scan
The EPSON Scan software offers three scanning modes:
❏ Home Mode includes a simple interface, automatic image
adjustments, and preset configurations for various types of
scans.
❏ Office Mode includes a basic interface with practical scan
settings designed for documents. Choose this mode to scan
multi-page documents on the optional automatic document
feeder.
❏ Professional Mode: Lets you manually configure advanced
image settings, including the histogram setting, tone, color
depth, balance, saturation, brightness, and contrast.
You can use EPSON Scan either in a “stand-alone” mode, or
by starting from another program, such as PaperPort Deluxe
or Photoshop Elements. (These programs are described in the
User’s Guide.)
Placing the Original Document
Follow the steps below to position the document on the
scanner glass properly. (If you’re scanning a multi-page
document using the optional automatic document feeder, see
the User’s Guide.)
1.Raise the scanner cover and place the document face down
in the upper left corner of the document table.
You can scan several pages or photos at the same time. Make
sure you leave about an inch of space between them on the
document table.
2.Close the document cover slowly. Be careful not to move the
document.
Light Scanner Status
Ready light is on
or flashing. The green Ready light is on when the scanner is
ready to scan. It flashes when scanning is in
progress.
Error light is
flashing; Ready
light is off. There’s a problem with your cable connection.
Reconnect the cable to both the scanner and your
computer, and then restart your computer. If this
doesn’t work, try using a different cable. If you have
a USB connection, use the USB cable that came
with your scanner. If you have a SCSI connection,
always restart your computer after changing or
reconnecting the cable.
Error and Ready
lights are both
on.
The scanner has received an incorrect command
from your scanning software. Try scanning again.
Error and Ready
lights are both
off. Make sure your scanner is connected to a working
outlet, then press the
P Power button. Restart your
computer.
If the green Ready light doesn’t come on, there may
be a problem with the automatic document feeder,
or the cover may be open. Make sure the cover or
automatic document feeder is closed. If you are
using the feeder, make sure a document is loaded,
and pages are not jammed.
Error and Ready
lights are both
flashing. Check that the transportation lock on the back of the
scanner is set to Unlock. If not, unlock the scanner,
then turn it off and back on again. Restart your
computer. If this doesn’t solve the problem, contact
EPSON.
