Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer

You can connect the scanner to your computer in any of these ways:

■ USB

If you have a Power Macintosh® with built-in USB support or your computer is running Windows 2000 or Windows 98 (factory installed), you can connect the Expression 1640XL with the USB cable that came with the scanner. Windows 2000 or Windows 98 must be preinstalled on your computer; they cannot be upgraded from an earlier version of Windows. There is no USB support for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.

■ SCSI

If you have a Power Macintosh with built-in SCSI support or a compatible PCI SCSI/SCSI 2 adapter board, or your Windows computer has an ASPI-compliant SCSI 2 board (Adaptec® boards are recommended), you can connect the scanner with a SCSI 2 cable not more than 19.7 feet long. If you’re connecting multiple SCSI devices, the total length of the SCSI bus (cables) should not exceed 9.8 feet. If your computer is running Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0, you must use a SCSI connection.

■ IEEE 1394 (FireWire)

If you have purchased the optional IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card, you can connect the scanner to your Power Macintosh or PC with the IEEE 1394 FireWire cable. Your Power Macintosh must have a built-in IEEE 1394 FireWire port or an IEEE 1394 FireWire PCI card, and must be running Macintosh OS 8.6 or later with FireWire Update 2.1 or later. Your PC must have an OHCI compliant FireWire port or card, and must be running a pre-installed version of Windows 2000.

18

Adaptec Power Domain® boards for the Macintosh are designed for hard drives only and are not compatible with scanners.

If you install a USB card in your Macintosh and then upgrade your system to OS 8.6, your USB Manager won’t be installed and your scanner may not work. To have USB support, you must perform a full installation of OS 8.6 from a CD-ROM before you install the card.

2940UW and 2940U2W SCSI

Connecting to a USB Interface

With the USB interface, you can connect or remove your scanner without having to shut down or restart your computer.

Don’t disconnect or connect the USB cable when the Expression 1640XL is scanning.

Windows 2000 or Windows 98 must be preinstalled on your computer, not upgraded. There is no USB support for Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0.

1. Locate the USB cable that came with your scanner.

2. Connect the square end of the USB cable to the scanner’s USB port.

3. Connect the flat end of the USB cable to your computer’s USB port or USB hub port.

If your scanner and computer are both powered on, you see the Add New Hardware Wizard if you’re running Windows 98 (Found New Hardware wizard in Windows

2000) or a message that your scanner driver needs to be installed if you have a

Macintosh. Continue with the instructions in “Installing the Windows Software” on page 23 or “Installing the Macintosh Software” on page 45.

If you’re using a USB hub, connect the scanner to a first tier hub, which is the hub closest to the computer. If the scanner doesn’t work with the hub, connect it directly to a USB port on your computer.

19

Connecting to a SCSI Interface

Before you connect the scanner, you must have an ASPI-compliant SCSI 2 interface board installed in your computer (Adaptec SCSI 2 interface boards are recommended). Some computers come with a SCSI 2 board preinstalled; check your computer documentation.

Adaptec Power Domain 2940UW and 2940U2W SCSI boards for the Macintosh are designed for hard drives and are not compatible with scanners.

If you purchased a SCSI board as an option, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install both the board and its driver.

You may also need to change the

SCSI ID switch

scanner’s SCSI ID setting before you connect it to your computer. If you have another SCSI device that uses SCSI ID 2, turn the scanner off and turn the SCSI ID switch on the back of the scanner to a new number.

Choose a number that doesn’t conflict with the ID number of other SCSI devices. Don’t use SCSI ID 0, 1, or 7. If your Macintosh has a built-in CD-ROM, don’t use SCSI ID 3.

Follow these steps to connect the scanner to a SCSI interface:

1. Make sure the scanner and computer are turned off. (The scanner is off when the P OPERATE button is out and the ERROR and READY lights are off.)

20

Do not connect the scanner to the computer while it is turned on, or the scanner could be damaged.

2. Squeeze the lock releases on the lock connector end of your SCSI cable, and then plug the cable into either SCSI connector on the back of the scanner. The cable is secure when both connector locks snap in.

3. Connect the pin end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI port on your computer, or to another SCSI device in the chain. Tighten the screws to secure the cable.

If you’re connecting multiple SCSI devices, the total length of the SCSI bus (cables) should not exceed 9.8 feet (three meters); otherwise the system may not work properly. If you are connecting the scanner directly to your computer, use a cable no more than 19.7 feet (six meters) long.

Don’t use an external terminator.

4. Locate the SCSI terminator switch at the rear of the scanner.

If the scanner is your only SCSI device, or if it’s the last device in a SCSI chain, leave the terminator switch turned ON.

If you’ve connected your scanner in the

terminator switch

middle of a SCSI chain, turn the terminator switch OFF.

5. Plug in the power cables for your computer, scanner, and other external SCSI devices.

Continue with the instructions in “Installing the Windows Software” on page 23 or “Installing the Macintosh Software” on page 45.

21

Connecting to an IEEE 1394 FireWire Interface

If you have purchased the optional IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card, you can connect the scanner to your Power Macintosh or PC using an IEEE 1394 FireWire interface. Your Power Macintosh must have a built-in IEEE 1394 FireWire port or an IEEE 1394 FireWire PCI card, and must be running Macintosh OS 8.6 or later with FireWire Update 2.1 or later. Your PC must have an OHCI compliant FireWire port or card, and must be running a pre-installed version of Windows 2000.

See “IEEE 1394 FireWire Scanner Interface Card” on page 122 for information about system requirements and instructions on installing the card. See page 103 for information about ordering the card.

The IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card has two cable connectors. You can use either one to connect the scanner directly to your computer. At the same time, you can use the second connector to connect other IEEE 1394 FireWire devices in a daisy chain or tree configuration. You can also connect the scanner to another IEEE 1394 FireWire device so that it’s the last IEEE 1394 FireWire device in a chain connected to your computer.

Neither your scanner nor your computer has to be off when you connect the cable. However, be careful not to connect or disconnect the cable when the scanner is in use.

22

Follow these steps to connect the scanner:

1. Connect one end of the cable to the IEEE 1394 FireWire port on the card.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the IEEE 1394 FireWire port on your computer or on another IEEE 1394 FireWire device.

Continue with “Installing the Macintosh Software” on page 45.

How To Scan

This section gives you an overview of the scanning process and some tips for getting the best scan. It also includes step-by-step scanning instructions.

Scanning Tips

Getting the best scan possible depends on several factors, including the quality of your original and the resolution you select. The better your original is, the better your scan will be. While you can make some color corrections in your scanning software, you’ll need to do major color photo retouching in a program such as Adobe Photoshop. To get the best possible scan, keep the document table clean, and make sure the document is flat against the glass surface.

Selecting Resolution

Resolution refers to how many dots per inch (dpi) or dots per centimeter (dpcm) your image contains. The best resolution for a scanned image depends on the type of image you’re scanning and your final output device.

As a rule of thumb for most images except line art, use a scanning resolution that is approximately one third of your output resolution. For example, use a scanning resolution up to 100 dpi with a 300 dpi laser printer, and up to 200 dpi with a

®

600 dpi laser printer. For 1440 dpi ink jet printers, such as the EPSON Stylus COLOR series, use a scanning resolution of up to 300 dpi. Try a scanning resolution of 240 dpi for 720 dpi printing.

51

Keep the following in mind when you choose a resolution:

■ The higher the resolution you select, the larger the resulting image file will be. For

example, an 8.5 × The same original scanned at 72 dpi creates only a 1.3MB file. Large files take longer to process and print, so consider the practical limitations of your computer system and hard disk drive when selecting a resolution. To keep your file size manageable, select the lowest possible resolution that gives acceptable quality. (If your final output is for on-screen viewing, you can scan at 72 dpi and reduce your file size.)

■ If you need to scan at a higher resolution, you can reduce the size of the resulting

image file by scanning only part of the image. For information about selecting part of an image, see “Making and modifying marquees” in your electronic EPSON Expression 1640XL Online Reference Guide.

11-inch original scanned at 300 dpi can produce a 24MB file.

Scaling (Resizing) Images

If you plan to enlarge your image, it’s better to enlarge it by scanning at a higher resolution rather than adjusting resolution in your application. Each time you modify an image, you lose some image quality.

52

Keep in mind when you enlarge a small photo, such as 35 mm slides or wallet-size photos, you’ll need to scan at a high enough resolution to retain your image quality, but not so high that your file size is too large to be efficient.

Scanning Color Images

If the colors in your scanned image don’t match those in your original document, try experimenting with the Unsharp Mask setting. Click the Destination button in the EPSON TWAIN Pro main window to display the Destination window, and then select or deselect Unsharp Mask.

Batch Scanning

You can use batch scanning to save time. Batch scanning allows you to scan several images at once, or the same image with several different settings.

For more information, see “Making and modifying marquees” in your electronic EPSON Expression 1640XL Online Reference Guide.

Document Guide

You can use the document guide to make incremental changes to the angle of a document to correct for any slight shifts during scanning.

For more information, see “Using the Document Guide” on page 64.

Do not leave photographs on the document table for extended periods or they may stick to the glass. Also, do not place heavy objects on top of the scanner.

Step-by-Step Scanning Instructions

This section contains step-by-step instructions for scanning an image. Although the Windows interface is shown, Macintosh steps are the same.

Placing Your Original Document

1. Raise the scanner cover and place your document face down on the document table. If you’re scanning a transparency, the optional transparency unit should be installed. (See “Installing the Transparency Unit” on page 105.)

2. Position the document so the horizontal and vertical edges are carefully aligned with the scales along the sides of the document table.

3. Close the document cover slowly. Be careful not to move the document.

Scanning with EPSON TWAIN Pro

1. Start your host application (for example, Adobe Photoshop LE).

2. Select your scanner driver. (Unless you change your source, you only need to do this step once.)

For example, if you’re running Windows and using Adobe Photoshop LE as your

host application, click File, Import, Select TWAIN_32 Source. In the Select Source dialog box, select

EPSON TWAIN Pro(32-bit)

If you have a Macintosh, click File, Import, Twain Select. In the Select a source dialog box, choose

Using the Document Guide

Most scanners scan at a slight angle due to the movement of the carriage. If you find that your scanned images are being scanned at an angle, use the document guide to adjust the angle of scanning. This section includes instructions for:

■ Installing the Document Guide

■ Scanning with the Document Guide

■ Calculating the Adjustment Angle

■ Scanning Your Aligned Document

Before you install the document guide, locate the following parts, included in your scanner box.

grid document guide clear document guide

64

guide pin adjust pin

Be sure to remove the protective film from both the grid document guide and clear document guide before using them.

Installing the Document Guide

1. Insert the guide pin in the left hole above the scanner’s document table and the adjust pin in the right hole; push them in securely. Turn the adjust pin so its arrow faces the guide pin.

2. Lay the grid document guide on the document table with the document guide holes over the scanner screw holes. Make sure the larger document guide hole is on the right.

3. Lift up the document guide and insert your document, image or picture under the guide. Align your document with the guide’s grid lines. Repeat this step for every document you want to scan, placing one document next to another (without overlapping them).

4. Close the document cover.

.

align the left edge of the marquee with the left edge of the scale

6. Compare the left edges of the scales with the scanned image. The starting points of the scales should match exactly.

Matching Do not match

A starts at 0 A starts at 0

B starts at 0 B starts at 2

7. Check the left edges of the scales of the scanned image and calculate the adjustment angle, as described in the next section.

67

Calculating the Adjustment Angle

If you need to adjust the document guide angle, you first need to determine which way to adjust it and by how much. For example, in the example shown above:

The adjusting angle = (scale A - scale B) / 4

For example:

If scale A starts at line 0, then 0 × 0.4 = 0; the value for

scale A = 0

If scale B starts at line 2, then 2 × 0.4 = 0.8; the value for

scale B = 0.8

(0 - 0.8)/4 = -0.2

In this example, the angle you need to adjust the adjust pin is -0.2

To adjust the angle:

1. Use a screwdriver to turn the adjust pin to the number you calculated (-0.2 in the previous example).

2. To confirm the angle, repeat the steps under “Scanning with the Document Guide.” Once you’ve confirmed the angle, it’s a good idea to write it down for future reference.

68

Scanning Your Aligned Document

Be sure to remove the protective film from both the grid document guide and clear document guide before using them.

1. Lay the clear document guide on the scanner document table with the document guide holes over the scanner screw holes. Make sure the larger document guide hole is on the left side.

2. Place your document face up on the clear document guide.

3. Place the grid document guide on top of your document, aligning the document guide holes over the scanner screw holes. Make sure the larger document guide hole is on the left.

4. Make sure your document is aligned with the grid document guide. After aligning the document to the proper position, use tape to secure it in place. Repeat this step for every document you want to scan, placing one document next to another (do not overlap them).

69

5. Remove the grid document guide.

6. Turn the clear document guide over and lay it on the document table with the document guide holes over the scanner screw holes. Make sure the larger document guide hole is on the right and your document faces down.

7. Close the document cover and scan the document.

70

Using the Clear Document Guide

The clear document guide can also be used to hold light originals against the document table; this will prevent the original from being pushed out of alignment by air currents as the document cover is closed.

Network Scanning

You can use EPSON Scan Server and EPSON TWAIN Pro Network, two applications on your EPSON Expression 1640XL Scanning Tools CD-ROM, to share your scanner with other users in a small workgroup.

Your network must have a scanner server (the Windows computer connected to the scanner) and one or more

client computers. Only one client computer at a time can connect to the scanner server and access the scanner. However, you can have more than one scanner and scanner server on a network, so clients can choose which scanner to use.

Here are some other requirements for sharing a scanner:

■ The scanner server must be an IBM pentium compatible PC computer running

Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 95, or Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or higher.

■ Client computers can be running Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 95,

Windows NT 4.0, or Macintosh System 8.0 or later.

■ Both the client computers and the scanner server must have a network interface

card installed, and must be running the TCP/IP protocol (see Appendix B for instructions on installing the TCP/IP protocol).

■ EPSON Scan Server must be installed on the scanner server, and EPSON

TWAIN Pro Network must be installed on client computers.

71

This chapter includes the following:

■ How to install, set up and start EPSON Scan Server on the scanner server

■ How to install and start EPSON TWAIN Pro Network on client computers

■ How to begin a scan from the client computer, the scanner server, or the scanner’s

] Start button

■ How to stop a scan in progress.

Setting Up the Scanner Server

You can set up any Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Windows NT 4.0 computer as a scanner server, as long as it has a network interface card installed and is running the TCP/IP protocol.

Before you begin, make sure to unlock the scanner and connect it to the scanner server (see Chapter 2, “Setting Up Your Scanner,” for details). If you don’t have the TCP/IP protocol installed on the scanner server, see Appendix B, “Installing the TCP/IP Protocol.”

72

Follow the instructions for your operating system:

■ If you’re running Windows 2000, continue with the next section, “Installing the
