Scanning Documents and Photos

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, move it up and in slightly to avoid cropping.

4.If you are scanning multiple photos at once, position each photo at least 0.8 inches (20 mm) apart from the others.

5.Close the scanner cover gently so that your original does not move.

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.
