Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer

You can connect the scanner to your computer in any of these ways:

■ USB

If you have a Power Macintosh or your computer is running Windows 98, you can connect the Expression 1600 with the USB cable that came with the scanner. Windows 98 must be preinstalled on your computer; it cannot be upgraded from Windows 95. There is no USB support for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.

■ SCSI

If you have a Power Macintosh or your Windows computer has an ASPI-compliant SCSI 2 board (Adaptec® boards are recommended), you can connect the scanner with a SCSI 2 cable not more than 19.7 feet long. If you’re connecting multiple SCSI devices, the total length of the SCSI bus (cables) should not exceed 9.8 feet. If your computer is running Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0, you must use a SCSI connection.

■ IEEE 1394 (FireWire)

If you have the Professional FireWire model of the Expression 1600, or you’ve purchased the optional IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card, you can connect the scanner to your Power Macintosh with the IEEE 1394 FireWire cable that came with your scanner or card. Your Power Macintosh must have a built-in IEEE 1394 FireWire port or an IEEE 1394 FireWire PCI card, and must be running Macintosh OS 8.6 or later with FireWire Update 2.1 or later.

Adaptec Power Domain® not compatible with scanners.

See “IEEE 1394 FireWire Scanner Interface Card” on page 106 for instructions on installing the IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card in your scanner.

If you install a USB card in your Macintosh and then upgrade your system to OS 8.6, your USB Manager won’t be installed and your scanner may not work. To have USB support, you must perform a full installation of OS 8.6 from a CD-ROM before you install the card.

SCSI boards for the Macintosh are

Page 26

Connecting to a USB Interface

With the USB interface, you can connect or remove your scanner without having to shut down or restart your computer.

Don’t disconnect or connect the USB cable when the Expression 1600 is scanning.

Windows 98 must be preinstalled on your computer, not upgraded from Windows 95. There is no USB support for Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0.

1. Locate the USB cable that came with your scanner.

2. Connect the square end of the USB cable to the scanner’s USB port.

3. Connect the flat end of the USB cable to your computer’s USB port or USB hub port.

If your scanner and computer are both powered on, you see the Add New Hardware Wizard (Windows) or a message that your scanner driver needs to be installed (Macintosh). Continue with the instructions in “Installing the Windows Software” on page 30 or “Installing the Macintosh Software” on page 47.

If you’re using a USB hub, connect the scanner to a first tier hub, which is the hub closest to the computer. If the scanner doesn’t work with the hub, connect it directly to a USB port on your computer.

Page 27

Connecting to a SCSI Interface

Before you connect the scanner, you must have an ASPI-compliant SCSI 2 interface board installed in your computer (Adaptec SCSI 2 interface boards are recommended). Some computers come with a SCSI 2 board preinstalled; check your computer documentation.

Adaptec Power Domain SCSI boards for the Macintosh are not compatible with scanners.

If you purchased the board as an option, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install both the board and its driver.

You may also need to change the

SCSI ID switch

scanner’s SCSI ID setting before you connect it to your computer. If you have another SCSI device that uses SCSI ID 2, turn the scanner off and turn the SCSI ID switch on the back of the scanner to a new number.

Choose a number that doesn’t conflict with the ID number of other SCSI devices. Don’t use SCSI ID 0, 1, or 7. If your Macintosh has a built-in CD-ROM, don’t use SCSI ID 3. Also, only use the asterisk (*) setting when you need to transport the scanner.

Follow these steps to connect the scanner to a SCSI interface:

1. Make sure the scanner and computer are turned off. (The scanner is off when the P Operate button is out and the ERROR and READY lights are off.)

Page 28

2. Squeeze the lock releases on the lock connector end of your SCSI cable, and then plug the cable into either SCSI connector on the back of the scanner. The cable is secure when both connector locks snap in.

3. Connect the pin end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI port on your computer, or to another SCSI device in the chain. Tighten the screws to secure the cable.

If you’re connecting multiple SCSI devices, the total length of the SCSI bus (cables) should not exceed 9.8 feet (three meters); otherwise the system may not work properly. If you are connecting the scanner directly to your computer, use a cable no more than 19.7 feet (six meters) long.

Don’t use an external terminator.

4. Locate the SCSI terminator switch at the rear of the scanner.

If the scanner is your only SCSI device, or if it’s the last device in a SCSI chain, leave the terminator switch turned ON.

If you’ve connected your scanner in the middle of a SCSI chain, turn the terminator switch OFF.

5. Plug in the power cables for your computer, scanner, and other external SCSI devices.

Continue with the instructions in “Installing the Windows Software” on page 30 or “Installing the Macintosh Software” on page 47.

terminator switch

Page 29

Connecting to an IEEE 1394 FireWire Interface

If you have the Professional FireWire model of the Expression 1600, or if you’ve purchased the optional IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card, you can connect the scanner to your Macintosh using an IEEE 1394 FireWire interface. Your Macintosh must have a built-in IEEE 1394 FireWire port or an IEEE 1394 FireWire PCI card.

See “IEEE 1394 FireWire Scanner Interface Card” on page 106 for information about system requirements and instructions on installing the card. See page 93 for information about ordering the card.

The IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card has two cable connectors. You can use either one to connect the scanner directly to your computer. At the same time, you can use the second connector to connect other IEEE 1394 FireWire devices in a daisy chain or tree configuration. You can also connect the scanner to another IEEE 1394 FireWire device so that it’s the last IEEE 1394 FireWire device in a chain connected to your computer.

Neither your scanner nor your computer has to be off when you connect the cable. However, be careful not to connect or disconnect the cable when the scanner is in use.

Follow these steps to connect the scanner:

1. Locate the cable that came with the card. Connect one end of the cable to the IEEE 1394 FireWire port on the card.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the IEEE 1394 FireWire port on your computer or on another IEEE 1394 FireWire device.

Continue with “Installing the Macintosh Software” on page 47.

How to Scan

This section gives you an overview of the scanning process and some tips for getting the best scan. It also includes step-by-step scanning instructions.

Scanning Tips

Getting the best scan possible depends on several factors, including the quality of your original and the resolution you select. The better your original is, the better your scan will be. While you can make some color corrections in your scanning software, you’ll need to do major color photo retouching in a program such as Adobe Photoshop.

Selecting Resolution

Resolution refers to how many dots per inch (dpi) or dots per centimeter (dpcm) your image contains. The best resolution for a scanned image depends on the type of image you’re scanning and your final output device.

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 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, such as the EPSON Stylus COLOR series, use a scanning resolution of up to 300 dpi. Try a scanning resolution of 240 dpi for 720 dpi printing.

Page 54

Keep the following in mind when you choose a resolution:

■ The higher the resolution you select, the larger the resulting image file will be. For

example, an 8.5 × The same original scanned at 72 dpi creates only a 1.3MB file. Large files take longer to process and print, so consider the practical limitations of your computer system and hard disk drive when selecting a resolution. To keep your file size manageable, select the lowest possible resolution that gives acceptable quality. (If your final output is for on-screen viewing, you can scan at 72 dpi and reduce your file size.)

■ 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. For information about selecting part of an image, see “Making and modifying marquees” in your electronic EPSON Expression 1600 Software Reference Guide.

11-inch original scanned at 300 dpi can produce a 24MB file.

Scaling (Resizing) Images

If you plan to enlarge your image, it’s better to enlarge it by scanning at a higher resolution rather than adjusting resolution in your application. Each time you modify an image, you lose some image quality.

Keep in mind when you enlarge a small photo, such as 35 mm slides or wallet-size photos, you’ll need to scan at a high enough resolution to retain your image quality, but not so high that your file size is too large to be efficient.

Scanning Color Images

If the colors in your scanned image don’t match those in your original document, try experimenting with the Unsharp Mask setting. Click the Destination button in the EPSON TWAIN Pro main window to display the Destination window, and then select or deselect Unsharp Mask.

To reproduce the most accurate colors, use MonacoEZcolor to create color profiles for your scanner, printer, and monitor. Then use an ICC-compliant color management application like Adobe Photoshop 5.0 to apply the profiles. (Make sure to turn off color management in your scanner software.) See the MonacoEZcolor User Guide for details.

Page 55

Batch Scanning

You can use batch scanning to save time. Batch scanning allows you to scan several images at once, or the same image with several different settings.

For more information, see “Making and modifying marquees” in your electronic EPSON Expression 1600 Software Reference Guide.

Using the Dual Focus Mechanism

The Expression 1600’s Dual Focus mechanism eliminates the Newton ring effect when you’re using the transparency unit. The focus is automatically set to 2.5 when the transparency unit is installed and you select TPU for Neg. Film or TPU for Pos.

Film

as the Document Source. If you use the film guides, you don’t need to change the focus setting. If you set your film directly on the scanner’s document table, you should preview your scan and click the Focus button on the Preview window to set the focus position to 0.0. See your electronic EPSON Expression 1600 Software Reference Guide for more information.

Step-by-Step Scanning Instructions

This section contains step-by-step instructions for scanning an image. Although the Macintosh interface is shown, Windows steps are the same.

Placing Your Original Document

1. Raise the scanner cover and place your document face down on the document

table. If you’re scanning a transparency, the optional transparency unit should be installed. (See “Installing the Transparency Unit” on page 95.)

If you have the Professional or Professional FireWire model of the EPSON Expression 1600, the transparency unit came with your scanner. If you have the Artist or Special Edition models, you can order the transparency unit.

2. Position the document so the

horizontal and vertical edges are carefully aligned with the scales along the sides of the document table.

3. Close the document cover slowly.

Be careful not to move the document.

You can 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, position the hinges over the posts at the top of the scanner and push down gently until the cover clicks into place.

Scanning with EPSON TWAIN Pro

1. Start your host application (for example, Adobe Photoshop 5.0 LE).

2. Select your scanner driver. (Unless you change your source, you only need to do

this step once.)

For example, if you’re running Windows and using Adobe Photoshop 5.0 LE as your host application, click File, Import, Select TWAIN_32 Source. In the Select Source dialog box, select EPSON TWAIN Pro(32-bit). Then click Select.

If you have a Macintosh, click File, Import, Twain Select. In the Select a source

dialog box, choose EPSON TWAIN Pro and click OK.

The command you choose from the File menu differs from one host application to another. With other host applications, you might choose Acquire or Select Source instead of Import.

3. Open the scanner software.

For example, choose Import from Photoshop 5.0 LE’s File menu.

In Windows, select

TWAIN_32.

On a Macintosh, select

TWAIN_Acquire.

Click to start scanning.

Click to display a preview of the image.

The EPSON TWAIN Pro main window appears.

Network Scanning

You can use EPSON Scan Server and EPSON TWAIN Pro Network, two applications on your EPSON Expression 1600 Scanning Tools CD-ROM, to share your scanner with other users in a small workgroup.

Your network must have a scanner server (the Windows computer connected to the scanner) and one or more client computers. Only one client computer at a time

can connect to the scanner server and access the scanner. However, you can have more than one scanner and scanner server on a network, so clients can choose which scanner to use.

Here are some other requirements for sharing a scanner:

■ The scanner server must be an IBM/AT compatible computer running

Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 (Windows NT 4.0 is recommended).

■ Client computers can be running Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0,

or Macintosh System 7.6.1 or later.

■ Both the client computers and the scanner server must have a network interface

card installed, and must be running the TCP/IP protocol (see Appendix B for instructions on installing the TCP/IP protocol).

■ EPSON Scan Server must be installed on the scanner server, and EPSON

TWAIN Pro Network must be installed on client computers.
