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.

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
92
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.

Using the Optional Flatbed Scanner Dock - Windows
The optional flatbed scanner dock combines your document scanner with a flatbed scanner into a single
unit. This allows you to scan thick or over-sized originals, such as cardboard and books, that won't fit into
the document scanner's ADF.
You must purchase a flatbed scanner (Epson Perfection V19/V39) to use the optional flatbed scanner
dock. To attach the flatbed scanner and dock to your document scanner, follow the installation
instructions that came with your flatbed scanner dock.
See these sections to learn about the flatbed scanner dock option.

shown in order to avoid cropping. If you are scanning multiple photos at once, place them at least
0.8 inch (20 mm) apart from each other.
