Cleaning the Scanner
Follow these steps to clean the scanner.
1. Press the . power button to turn the scanner off, and
unplug the power cord.
Caution: Always unplug the scanner before cleaning.
2. Use a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent to clean the outer
case.
Caution: Be careful not to spill liquid or let water get into the
scanner mechanism or electronic components. This could
permanently damage them.
Never use alcohol, thinner, or corrosive solvent to clean the
scanner. These chemicals can damage the scanner
components as well as the case.
3. Clean dust and smudges from the document table glass with
a soft, dry cloth (a microfiber glass cleaning cloth is
recommended). You can also use compressed air spray
cleaner.
To remove grease, use pretreated lens or scanner wipes, or a
small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth. Dry the
document table glass afterwards.
Caution: Never spray glass cleaner directly on the document
table. Always spray it on a cloth first and then wipe the
glass.

Never use a harsh or abrasive brush or cleaning product to
clean the document table. A damaged glass surface can
decrease the scanning quality.
Avoid leaving photos on the scanner glass for an extended
period of time, or residue from the photos may adhere to the
glass.

then close any open covers.
If this doesn’t solve the issue, there may be a
problem with the fluorescent lamp, or another
problem. Contact Epson as described in the User’s
Guide.
Scanning with EPSON Scan
The EPSON Scan software offers three scanning modes:
❏ Home Mode makes scanning quick and easy, and provides
excellent results for all types of documents. Use when
advanced control over image quality settings is not required.
❏ Office Mode is ideal for scanning business documents
containing text or graphics, with or without color. Choose
this mode to scan multi-page documents on the optional
automatic document feeder, or when scanning for OCR
(optical character recognition) to create editable text.
❏ Professional Mode gives you the greatest control over image
color and quality. Lets you manually adjust any setting,
including the histogram setting, tone, color depth, balance,
saturation, brightness, and contrast.
You can open EPSON Scan from any TWAIN-compliant
imaging application, such as Photoshop Elements (included
with the scanner); this lets you scan images into the
application. Or you can use EPSON Scan in “standalone”
mode to scan directly to a file on your computer’s hard drive.
Placing the Original Document
Follow these steps to position a photo or single-page document
for scanning. (If you want to scan several photos at a time, a
multi-page document, or film or slides, see the User’s Guide.)
1. Raise the scanner cover and place the document face down
on the document table. Place it in the upper-left corner,
aligning it with the edges of the glass.
2. Close the cover, being careful not to move the document.
Tip: If the edges of the document don’t scan, move it in
about 1/16 of an inch (1.5 mm) from the edges of the glass.
You can raise or remove the document cover if you need to
scan a thick item—such as a photo in an album—that
doesn’t fit under the cover. Simply lift the back of the cover
straight up. When you reattach the cover, line up the hinge
pins with the positioning holes and lower the cover into
place.
