Getting the Most from Your Scanner

Your scanner includes various features that enable you to create
professional, high-quality scans. It also includes bonus software such as
Adobe Photoshop Elements and ABBYY FineReader Sprint (described in
your User’s Guide), MonacoEZcolor (see below), and LaserSoft Imaging
Silverfast (Photo version of the scanner only).

Note: For detailed instructions, see the electronic manual for each software
application. The SilverFast CD-ROM also contains useful QuickTime®
tutorials. Some software may not be compatible with Windows Vista.

Managing Color

You can use MonacoEZcolor to calibrate your scanner and ensure that
printouts of scanned images closely match the originals. In this example, a
color profile is created for scanning reflective (paper) documents. If you are
planning to work with positive film or slides, you will also have to create a
profile for scanning transparencies.

Note: You can also use MonacoEZcolor to create profiles for your printer,
monitor, and digital camera. For details, see the on-screen guide included
with the software.

First, scan the target image using EPSON Scan:

1 Turn on your scanner, then place the reflective target included with

MonacoEZcolor face-down on the scanner glass. (Use the larger, 5 7
color chart as the target.) Put it in the upper-left corner of the glass, as
shown.

2 Open EPSON Scan.

3 Select Professional as the Mode at the top of

the screen. Then choose these settings:

• Document Type: Reflective

• Auto Exposure Type: Photo

• Image Type: 48-bit Color

• Resolution: 200 dpi

4 Click the Configuration button at the bottom of the screen, click the

Color tab, select No color correction, and then click OK.

5 Click the Preview button to prescan your image.

6 Draw a marquee around the target image so it looks like this.

7 Click Scan, then save your image as a TIFF file.

Next, load the scanned image into MonacoEZcolor:

1 Open MonacoEZcolor, then click

Create Input Profile.

2 Click the

Then click the Load an Image button to import your scanned image.
Check it against the example images to verify that it looks correct.

arrow button until you see the “Input the target” screen.

3 Continue with the instructions on the screen to select the correct

reference file and give your profile a name—for example, “10000 refl”
to indicate that it’s for scanning reflective images with this scanner.

Now you are ready to scan a photo using your new color profile. In this
example, a photo is scanned into Adobe Photoshop Elements. (You can
install Photoshop Elements from the CD-ROM included with your scanner.)

1 Place your photo on the scanner, then open Photoshop Elements.

2 Click File > Import > EPSON Expression 10000XL.

3 Select 24-bit Color as the Image Type (Photoshop Elements does not

support 48-bit color). Then select any other settings appropriate for
your image.

4 Click the Configuration button, click the Color tab, and then click

ICM (for Windows) or ColorSync (for Macintosh).

5 For the Source, select the name of the profile you created for your

scanner. For the Target, select a working space that has a wide color
gamut, such as Adobe RGB, and then click OK.

6 Click the Preview button to prescan your image. Marquee-select just

the area of the image you want to scan.

7 Click the Auto Adjust button to apply your color profile. (The button

is located near the bottom of the main EPSON Scan screen; you may
have to scroll down to see it.) Then click Scan.

8 When scanning completes, close EPSON Scan to view your scanned

image in Photoshop Elements.

Note: The target profile you selected is embedded in the scanned

image.

9 In Photoshop Elements, click Edit > Color Settings > Full color

management, then click OK.

10 Click File > Print. Click the Show More Options box. Select Same as

source to use Adobe RGB as your Print Space profile.

Note: If you have ICC profiles for your printer (including the specific

print settings and type of paper you plan to use), you can select the
appropriate printer profile instead.

Now you are ready to print your scanned image. Make sure your printer’s
color management settings are turned off in your printer software before
you begin. If you’re using an ICC profile for the printer, be sure to select the
same printer settings and load the paper specified in the profile.
