Loading Originals

Follow the instructions here to load your originals into the scanner.
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, or 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.
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. Pull up the input tray extension.
2. Pull out the output tray and its extension, and open the stopper.
23
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.
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.
24
5. Stack the originals with the printed side facing down and slide the stack so the leading edge is at an angle as shown.
25
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 30 cards (printed side down and long edge
first) into the input tray horizontally, and slide them in until they meet resistance.
26
27
• 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.
28
7. Slide the edge guides against the edges of the original.
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 and use the following resolutions:
• 15.5 to 53 inches (393.8 to 1346.2 mm): 600 dpi or less
• 53 to 215 inches (1346.3 to 5461 mm): 300 dpi or less
29
• 215 to 240 inches (5461.1 to 6096 mm): 200 dpi or less
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.
If scanning thin or wrinkled paper causes paper jams, slow down the feeding speed by selecting Settings > Scanner Settings > Slow > On on the LCD screen.

Loading Multiple Sizes of Originals in the Input Tray

You can load originals of different sizes, paper types, and thicknesses at one time in the input tray. Just make sure they meet the original document specifications.
Caution: Do not load photos, or 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.
1. Pull up the input tray extension.
2. Pull out the output tray and its extension, and open the stopper.
Note: If you are loading originals that are 15.5 inches (393.8 mm) or longer, do not pull out the input or output tray extensions and do not open the stopper.
31
3. Slide the input tray edge guides all the way out.
4. Load the originals in the center of the input tray in descending order of paper size with the widest at the back and the narrowest at the front. Slide them in until they meet resistance. Make sure the printed sides are facedown and the top edges are slightly angled in the input tray.
32
5. Slide the edge guides against the edges of the widest original.
6. 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.
If scanning thin or wrinkled paper causes paper jams, slow down the feeding speed by selecting Settings > Scanner Settings > Slow > On on the LCD screen.
You can also scan originals of multiple sizes by loading them one by one using the Automatic Feeding
Mode setting in Epson Scan 2.

Loading Special Originals

You can load photos or large, thick, or folded originals in the input tray using one or more carrier sheets. You can also load envelopes. Make sure the originals meet the specifications for special originals before loading them.
1. Pull up the input tray extension.
2. Pull out the output tray and its extension, and open the stopper.

5. Do one of the following to load photos, or folded or irregularly shaped originals using a carrier sheet:
Note: Use only the carrier sheet designed for your scanner. The carrier sheet is automatically recognized by the scanner by the two small rectangular holes on the front edge, as shown. Keep the
42
holes clean and not covered. Do not load a carrier sheet that has scratches on it or one that has been scanned more than 3,000 times.
• For a Letter- or A4-size or larger original, fold it as shown and place it in the center of an optional
carrier sheet. Make sure the illustration on the front edge of the carrier sheet is facing up.
To scan both sides and stitch them together, set the appropriate setting in Epson Scan 2 or Document Capture Pro.
• For a photo or an irregularly shaped original, load it in the center of an optional carrier sheet with
the printed side face down. Make sure the illustration on the front edge of the carrier sheet is facing up. If you are loading originals that are 11.7 inches (297 mm) or shorter, place the leading
43
edge of the original against the binding of the carrier sheet, as shown. Otherwise, the scanner may not detect the correct length of the original.

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:
• 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
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.
