Safety Instructions

Read and follow these instructions to ensure safe use of this product and options. Make sure you keep this manual for future reference. Also, be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product and options.

Some of the symbols used on your product and options are to ensure safety and proper use of the product. Visit the following Web site to learn the meaning of the symbols.

http://support.epson.net/symbols

Place the product and options on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the product and options in all directions. If you place the product and options by the wall, leave more than 10 cm between the back of the product and options and the wall.

Place the product and options close enough to the computer for the interface cable to reach it easily. Do not place or store the product and options or the AC adapter outdoors, near excessive dirt or dust, water, heat sources, or in locations subject to shocks, vibrations, high temperature or humidity, direct sunlight, strong light sources, or rapid changes in temperature or humidity.

Do not use with wet hands.

Place the product and options near an electrical outlet where the adapter can be easily unplugged.

The AC adapter cord should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place objects on top of the cord and do not allow the AC adapter or the cord to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep the cord straight at the end.

Use only the power cord supplied with the product and do not use the cord with any other equipment. Use of other cords with this product or the use of the supplied power cord with other equipment may result in fire or electric shock.

Use only the AC adapter that comes with your product. Using any other adapter could cause fire, electrical shock, or injury.

The AC adapter is designed for use with the product with which it was included. Do not attempt to use it with other electronic devices unless specified.

Use only the type of power source indicated on the AC adapter’s label, and always supply power directly from a standard domestic electrical outlet with the AC adapter that meets the relevant local safety standards.

When connecting this product and options to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.

Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.

If you use an extension cord with the product, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.

Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the AC adapter, product, or product options by yourself except as specifically explained in the product’s guides.

Do not insert objects into any opening as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. Beware of electrical shock hazards.

If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. If there are fuses in the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of the correct size and rating.

User's Guide

Specifications of Originals and Placing Originals

Perforated originals

Original with labels or stickers

Carbon-less paper

Curled originals

Coated paper

cImportant:

Carbon-less paper contains chemical substances that may harm the rollers. If you scan carbon-less paper, clean the pickup roller and the separation roller regularly. Also, scanning carbon-less paper may shorten the life cycle of the rollers faster than scanning plain paper.

Note:

Crinkled originals may scan better if you slow down the feeding speed during scanning or smooth out the crinkles before loading.

To scan delicate originals or originals that are easily crinkled, use the Carrier Sheet (sold separately).

To scan originals that are incorrectly detected as double feeds, set the DFDS Function to On on the control panel before you resume scanning, or select Off in Detect Double Feed on the Main Settings tab in the Epson Scan 2 window. When you are using Document Capture Pro, you can open the window by pressing the Detailed Settings button on the Scan Settings screen.

Labels or stickers must be firmly stuck to the originals with no glue protruding.

Try to flatten the curled originals before scanning.

Specifications of Originals and Placing Originals

Placing Standard Size Originals

1.Extend the input tray extension. Slide out the output tray, extend the output tray extension, and then raise the stopper.

Note:

For A4 size or larger originals, make sure you pull out and extend the input tray extension.

Make sure you pull out and extend the output tray extensions so that they are a little bit longer than the length of the original, and raise the stopper so that the ejected originals can be stacked comfortably on the output tray.

The stopper can move forward and backward on the output tray extension so that you can easily adjust the stopper position to the best position for the originals being scanned.

If thick originals bump into the output tray and fall from it, store the output tray and do not use it to stack the ejected originals.

If scanned images are still affected by ejected originals hitting the surface below the scanner, we recommend placing the scanner on the edge of a table where the ejected originals can drop freely and you can catch them.

2.Slide the edge guides on the input tray all the way out.

28

User's Guide

Specifications of Originals and Placing Originals

3.Fan the originals.

Hold both ends of the originals and fan them a few times.

4.Align the edges of the originals with the printed side facing down and slide the leading edge into a wedge shape.

5.Load the originals into the input tray facing down with the top edge facing into the ADF. Slide the originals into the ADF until they meet resistance.

29

User's Guide

Specifications of Originals and Placing Originals

6.Slide the edge guides to fit the edge of the originals making sure there are no gaps between the originals and the edge guides. Otherwise, the originals may be fed skewed.

Note:

When scanning originals with punch holes such as loose leaf paper, load the originals with the holes facing to the side or facing down. There must not be any holes within a 30 mm (1.2 inches) strip at the center of the originals. However, there can be holes within 30 mm (1.2 inches) from the leading edge of the originals. Make sure that the edges of the punch holes do not have burrs or curls.

When scanning thin paper with crinkles that are causing paper jams or double feeds, you may be able to improve the situation by enabling Slow. To do this, select Settings > Scanner Settings > Slow on the control panel and set it to On to slow down the feeding speed.
