Scanning 5
This chapter describes how to scan an image using EPSON Scan (either as a
standalone program or through any TWAIN-compliant application) or the control
panel on the product.
Starting EPSON Scan
If you want to scan an image and save it directly to a file, you can start EPSON Scan
as a “standalone” program.
You can also access EPSON Scan from any application that supports the TWAIN
standard. When you are finished, the scanned image opens in your scanning program
so you can modify, print, and save it.
Note:
In this chapter, the operation of EPSON Scan is explained using Windows examples.
Scanning Modes
EPSON Scan offers three scanning modes that let you control all aspects of scanning:
■ Home Mode lets you customize scanning settings and check their effects with a
preview image.
Home Mode is best when you want to preview images of photos before scanning
them. You can size the image as you scan, adjust the scan area, and adjust many
image settings, including color restoration.
■ Office Mode lets you quickly scan multi-page documents of the same size using
the Auto Document Feeder. Office Mode is available only with the CX11NF.
■ Professional Mode gives you total control of your scanning settings and lets you
check their effects with a preview image.
Scanning 43
Professional Mode is best when you want to preview your image and make
extensive, detailed corrections to it before scanning. You can sharpen, color
correct, and enhance your image with a full array of tools, including color
restoration.
Starting EPSON Scan as a Standalone Program
If you just want to save scanned images without editing them, start EPSON Scan
directly. Scanned images are automatically saved as files in your system.
1. Do one of the following to start EPSON Scan:
Windows:
Double-click the EPSON Scan icon on your desktop.
Or select Start > All Programs or Programs > EPSON Scan > EPSON Scan.
Mac OS X:
Open the Applications folder and click the EPSON Scan icon.
The EPSON Scan window appears:
44 Scanning
Change scan mode
here
2. The default mode when you first start Epson Scan is Home Mode. If you want to
change to Office or Professional Mode, select the mode from the Mode menu.
The EPSON scan window changes.
3. See page 46 to select your scan settings.
Starting EPSON Scan With Another Scanning Application
1. Start your scanning program.

3. EPSON Scan selects a default resolution setting based on the original and
destination settings you select. See page 50 to continue scanning.
Selecting EPSON Scan Settings 49
Selecting the Scan Resolution
In Home Mode, you can change the resolution only if you select Other as the
Destination setting.
In Office Mode, you can select the resolution you want at any time.
In Professional Mode, you can select the resolution you want at any time.
Before you select the scan resolution, you should consider whether you will enlarge
the images, and if so, whether you will enlarge them before or after you scan. Follow
these guidelines:
■ You will not be enlarging the images.
If you will scan the images at 100% size or smaller and will not enlarge them later,
you can accept the Resolution setting selected by EPSON Scan based on your
original and destination settings.
■ You will enlarge the images as you scan them (increase the Target Size setting).
If you will enlarge the images in EPSON Scan so you can use them at a larger size,
you can accept the Resolution setting selected by EPSON Scan based on your
original and destination settings.
■ You will scan the images at their original size, but then enlarge them later in an
image-editing program.
If you plan to enlarge your images later in an image-editing program, you need to
increase the Resolution setting to retain a high image quality after enlargement.
Increase the resolution by the same amount you will increase the image size. For
50 Scanning
example, if the resolution is 300 dpi (dots per inch), but you will increase the
image size by 200% in an image-editing program, change the Resolution setting
to 600 dpi in EPSON Scan.
Click the arrow next to the Resolution list and select the number of dots per inch at
which you want to scan. See the table below for some guidelines:
What you will do with the scanned image Suggested scan resolution
Send via e-mail, upload to web, or view only on

Print, or convert to editable text (OCR) 300 dpi
Fax 200 dpi
Enlarge after scanning at 100% Increase Resolution setting by same
96 to 150 dpi
percentage you will increase image size
after scanning
After selecting the Resolution, you can preview your image and make any necessary
adjustments. See below to continue scanning.
Previewing and Adjusting the Scan Area
Once you have selected your basic settings and resolution, you can preview your
image and select or adjust the area of the image(s) you want to scan. EPSON Scan
displays the preview image(s) in a separate Preview window on your screen.
There are two types of preview:
■ Normal preview displays your previewed images in their entirety. You must select
the scan area and make any image quality adjustments manually. Normal is the
default preview type in Professional Mode, but you can also select it in Home
Mode, if available.
■ Thumbnail preview displays your previewed images as thumbnails. EPSON Scan
automatically locates the edges of your scan area and applies automatic exposure
settings to the images. Thumbnail is the default preview type in Home Mode,
but you can also select it in Professional Mode, if available.
Note:
Depending on your document type and other settings, Normal preview may be
automatically selected and you will not be able to change to Thumbnail preview.
Selecting EPSON Scan Settings 51
Follow these steps to preview your image(s) in Home, Office, or Professional Mode:
1. Click the Preview button toward the bottom of the EPSON Scan window. If
you want to check or change the preview type, click the arrow next to the
Preview button, if it is available.
EPSON Scan prescans your image(s) and displays them in one of the following
Preview windows:
Normal Preview Thumbnail Preview
Office Mode:
The ADF loads your first document page, then EPSON Scan prescans it and
displays it in the Preview window. The ADF then ejects your first page. The ADF
also loads and ejects your second page without scanning it. Place your document
pages back in order after they are ejected.

select your Target Size and automatically create a marquee that is
proportioned to that size. See page 59 for instructions. You can then copy the
marquee and place it on each image you will scan at that size.
■
To zoom in on an image, click inside the scan area and click the Zoom
button. EPSON Scan prescans again and displays a larger preview on the
Zoom tab. (Your other images are still previewed at the original size on the

Adjusting the Scan Area (Marquee)
A marquee is a moving dotted line that appears on the edges of your preview image to
indicate the scan area.
Marquee
You can move the marquee, adjust its size, and create multiple marquees on one
image (Normal preview only) to scan different image areas in separate scan files.
Follow these steps:
1. To draw a marquee, move your cursor over a preview image. The pointer becomes
a set of cross-hairs.
2. Position the pointer in the area where you want to place the corner of your
marquee and click. Hold down the mouse button and drag the cross-hairs over
the image to the opposite corner of the desired scan area. Then release the mouse

Replacing a Toner Cartridge
When a toner cartridge is empty, a message appears on the LCD screen indicating
which toner cartridge needs to be replaced. If you are going to print a large document
or make a large number of copies and one of the toner cartridges is low, you can
change that cartridge so you won’t run out of toner in the middle of the job. See:
■ “Changing a Low Toner Cartridge” on page 83
■ “Removing and Replacing an Empty Toner Cartridge” on page 83
Handling Precautions
Always follow these precautions when replacing a toner cartridge:
■ Install a genuine Epson toner cartridge. Using a non-Epson toner cartridge may
affect print quality. Other products may cause damage to your printer not covered
by Epson’s warranty.
■ When handling toner cartridges, always place them on a clean smooth surface.
■ If you move a toner cartridge from a cool to a warm environment, wait for at least
one hour before installing it to prevent damage from condensation.
Warning:
Do not touch the toner and keep it away from your eyes. If toner gets on your skin or
clothes, wash it off with soap and water immediately.
■ Keep toner cartridges out of the reach of children.
■ Do not dispose of toner cartridges in fire, as they may explode and cause injury.
Dispose of them according to local regulations.
■ If toner spills, use a broom and dustpan or a damp cloth with soap and water to
clean it up. Because the fine particles can cause a fire or explosion if they come
into contact with a spark, do not use a vacuum cleaner.

Handling Precautions
Always follow these precautions when replacing the photoconductor:
■ The photoconductor weighs 6.16 lb (2.8 kg). Be sure to hold it firmly by the
handle when carrying it.
■ Avoid exposing the photoconductor to light any longer than necessary.
■ Be careful not to scratch the surface of the drum and belt. Also, avoid touching
the drum; oil from your skin may permanently damage its surface and affect print
quality.
■ Do not store the photoconductor in an area subject to direct sunlight, dust, salty
air, or corrosive gases (such as ammonia). Avoid locations subject to extreme or
rapid changes in temperature or humidity.
■ Do not tilt the photoconductor.
Warning:
Keep the photoconductor out of the reach of children.
Do not dispose of a used photoconductor in fire, as it may explode and cause injury.
Dispose of it according to local regulations.
