Scanning Basics
2. Close the document cover, being careful not to move the document.
Tip: If the edges of your document don’t scan properly, move it in about 1/16 of
an inch (1.5 mm) from the edges of the glass.
You can raise or remove the document cover if you need to scan a thick item—
such as a photo in an album—that doesn’t fit under the cover. Simply lift the back
of the cover straight up. When you reinsert the cover, line up the hinge pins with
the positioning holes and lower the cover into place.
Using EPSON Scan
EPSON Scan provides three scanning modes:
■ Home Mode: Makes scanning quick and easy, and provides excellent results
for all types of documents. Use for scanning photos, text, and line art, when
advanced control over image quality settings is not required.
Home Mode automatically applies exposure and color balance settings to your
images, and you can manually adjust the brightness and contrast if necessary. You
can also apply various filters, such as Color Restoration, to bring old photos back
to life (see page 33).
■ Office Mode: Ideal for scanning business documents containing text and
graphics. Use for scanning contracts, invoices, and newsletters, with or without
color. Also great for scanning multi-page documents with the optional automatic
document feeder (see page 53), or when scanning documents for OCR (optical
character recognition) to create editable text.
Note: You cannot scan film in Office Mode, and it is not recommended for
scanning photos.
■ Professional Mode: Gives you the greatest control over image color and quality.
Automatically applies exposure and color balance settings to your images—or lets
you manually adjust any setting, including the histogram setting, tone, color
depth, balance, saturation, brightness, and contrast.
If you have faded photos, you can restore their color using Color Restoration. You
can also use these additional filters and choose how strongly they’re applied:
Unsharp Mask, Descreening, and (when scanning film with the optional
transparency unit) Grain Reduction and Dust Removal. See page 33 for details.
