Transporting the Scanner
When you transport the scanner a long distance or store it for
an extended time, follow the steps below to secure the
carriage:
1. Make sure the transportation lock on the back of the
scanner is in the
UNLOCK
position.
2. Locate the SCSI ID rotary switch on the back of the
scanner. Align the dot on the switch with the asterisk (*)
setting.
3. If you’re using a transparency unit or auto document feeder,
remove it and replace the scanner cover.
4. Turn on the scanner and wait until the carriage moves to
the home position (toward the back of the scanner). Then
turn off the scanner.
5. Slide the transportation lock to the
LOCK
position.
If the carriage doesn’t automatically return to the home
position, slowly raise the front of the scanner and hold it up
until the carriage comes to rest in the home position. Then
slide the transportation lock to the
LOCK
position.

scanner software.)

Selecting Resolution
Using a Network Scanner
Network scanning involves the following steps:
❏ The scanner server must be turned on and running EPSON
Scan Server (PC only).
❏ From the client computer, start the host application, then
start EPSON TWAIN Pro Network to establish a
connection to the scanner server. Only one client computer
at a time can connect to the scanner server.
❏ Choose the
Image Type, Resolution
, and other settings
you want for your scan.
❏ Place your first image on the document table (or in the
automatic document feeder or one of the optional
transparency unit’s film guides).
❏ Start the scan. Although this can be done from EPSON
TWAIN Pro Network on the client computer, it may be
more convenient to press the scanner’s
Start button or to
]
start the scan from the scanner server. Then you can scan
several images with a single trip to the scanner.
❏ If you want to scan more than one image, place your second
image on the document table and press the scanner’s
Start button again. Repeat this step for every image you
]
want to scan. (The settings you chose for the first image
apply to these images too.)
❏ When you return to the client computer, your scanned
images appear in the host application’s window. Close
EPSON TWAIN Pro Network to end your connection to
the scanner server and allow other client computers to use
the scanner.
As a rule of thumb for most images except line art, use a
scanning resolution that is approximately one third of your
output resolution. For example, use a scanning resolution of
up to 100 dpi with a 300 dpi laser printer, and up to 200 dpi
with a 600 dpi laser printer. For 1440 dpi ink jet printers, use
a scanning resolution of up to 300 dpi. Try a scanning
resolution of 240 dpi for 720 dpi printing.
Keep the following in mind when you choose a resolution:
❏ The higher the resolution you select, the larger the resulting
image file will be. To keep your file size manageable, select
the lowest possible resolution that gives acceptable quality.
❏ If you need to scan at a higher resolution, you can reduce
the size of the resulting image file by scanning only part of
the image.
