Scanning Documents and Photos

Restoring Photos

Using the Color Restoration feature in EPSON Scan, you can
transform old, faded, or badly exposed photos into ones with
true-to-life color and sharpness. You can restore printed photos,
negative film, or slides automatically as you scan them.

You can use Color Restoration in EPSON Scan’s Full Auto,
Home or Professional Mode. For detailed steps, see the
on-screen User’s Guide.

2. Place your document
or photo on the
document table, face
down on the glass.
Make sure the top of
the document or
photo is against the
front edge of the
scanner and centered
on the arrow mark.

3. An area of up to 0.2 inches (5 mm) from the horizontal and
the vertical sides of the scanner glass cannot be scanned. If
you place a document in the corner of the document table,
