Loading Originals
Follow the instructions here to load your originals into the scanner.
Note: The illustrations show the DS-575W II, but the steps are the same for the DS-530 II and DS-770 II.
Loading Originals in the Input Tray
Loading Plastic and Laminated Cards in the Input Tray
Loading Special Originals
Loading Originals in the Input Tray
You can load originals that meet the document specifications in the input tray.
Caution: Do not load photos, valuable original documents or artwork, directly into the input tray. This
may wrinkle or damage the original. Load these originals using an optional carrier sheet.
Note: Photos scanned using a document scanner may not have the same color depth as the original.
Use a flatbed photo scanner with the optional flatbed scanner dock (DS-530 II/DS-770 II) to achieve the
best color reproduction of photos.
The steps below describe loading originals of the same size. To load originals of multiple sizes at once,
see the link at the end of these steps.
1.Open the input tray and pull up its extension.
19
2.Pull out the output tray and its extension, and open the stopper.
Note: If you are loading an original that is 15.5 inches (393.8 mm) or longer, do not pull out the input
or output tray extensions and do not open the stopper.
3.Slide the input tray edge guides all the way out.
20
4.If you are loading a multi-page original, fan your stack of originals.
Note: If you are loading an original that is 15.5 inches (393.8 mm) or longer, load only one sheet at a
time.
5.Stack the originals with the printed side facing down and slide the stack so the leading edge is at an
angle as shown.
21
6.Load standard originals into the input tray printed side down and top edge first, and guide them in
until they meet resistance.
• If you are loading paper business cards, load up to 15 (DS-530 II/DS-575W II) or 30 (DS-770 II)
cards printed side down and long edge first into the input tray horizontally, and slide them in until
they meet resistance.
22
23
• If you are loading hole-punched originals, load them with the holes facing down or to the side as
shown. The holes must be within 1.2 inches (30 mm) of the edge of the originals.
7.Slide the edge guides against the edges of the original.
24
Note: If you are scanning originals that are 15.5 inches (393.8 mm) or longer, support the original as
it enters into and ejects from the scanner as shown.
8.If necessary during scanning, adjust the position of the stopper on the output tray extension to fit the
ejected originals.
Note: If thicker paper does not eject properly or falls from the output tray, push in the output tray and
allow the originals to eject freely onto the surface below the scanner. If the scanned images are
affected by the originals ejecting below the scanner, try placing the scanner on the edge of a table
where the ejected originals can drop freely.
25
9.If scanning thin or wrinkled paper causes paper jams, press theslow mode button once before
scanning to slow down the feeding speed; press it again to return to normal speed.
If a paper feed error is detected, the Paper Protection feature stops the scanning process automatically
to reduce damage to the original. To change the Paper Protection detection level, open the Epson Scan
2 Utility, click on the Scanner Setting tab, and select the desired level from the Paper Protection dropdown list.
Note: The Paper Protection feature does not prevent all documents from being damaged. Paper feed
errors may not be detected depending on the paper feeding conditions.

Network Security Recommendations
To help deter unauthorized access to your product over a network, you should protect your network
environment using appropriate security measures.
Security measures such as these can help deter threats such as loss of user data, use of telephone and
fax lines, and other intrusions:
• Enable security on your wireless LAN
Enable the appropriate security on the wireless LAN you plan to use with your product. Network
security such as a network password can deter interception of traffic over the wireless LAN. Your
router may already have a default password enabled by your Internet service provider (ISP). See your
ISP and router documentation for instructions on how to change the default password and better
secure your network.
• Connect your product only to a network protected by a firewall
Connecting your product directly to the Internet may leave it vulnerable to security threats. Instead,
connect it to a router or other network connection protected by a firewall. Your router may already
have a firewall set up by your Internet service provider; check with your ISP for confirmation. For best
results, set up and use a private IP address for your network connection.
• Change the default administrator password on your product
If your product has an option to set an administrator password, change the default administrator
password to deter access by unauthorized users to personal data stored on your product, such as IDs,
passwords, and contact lists.

Scan Resolution Guidelines
The resolution setting in your scanning software, measured in dpi (dots per inch), controls the amount of
detail captured in your scans. Increasing the resolution raises the amount of detail captured but comes
with the following disadvantages:
• Larger file sizes
• It takes longer to scan your originals, send/receive your scans by email or fax, and to print your scans
• The image may become too large to fit on your display or print on paper
• The maximum length you can scan is reduced
If you plan to enlarge a scanned image so you can print it at a larger size, you may need to increase the
resolution from the default resolution set by the software. Follow these guidelines to determine the
resolution setting you need:
• You will scan the image at its original size but enlarge it later in an image-editing program.
Increase the resolution setting in your scanning software. Increase the resolution by the same amount
you will increase the image size to retain a high image quality. For example, if the resolution is 300 dpi
(dots per inch) and you will double the image size later, change the resolution setting to 600 dpi.
• You will scan the image at 100% or smaller size.
Select the resolution setting based on how you will use the scanned image:
• Email/view on a computer screen/post on the web: 96 to 200 dpi
• Print/fax/convert to editable text (OCR)/create searchable PDF: 200 to 300 dpi
• You will scan a long original.
Scan paper up to 240 inches (6096 mm) in length with a maximum resolution of 300 dpi or less.
