Setting Up Your Scanner

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® with built-in USB support or your computer is running Windows Me (Windows Millennium), Windows 2000, or Windows 98 (factory installed), you can connect the Expression 1680 with the USB cable that came with the scanner. Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows 98 must be preinstalled on your computer; upgrades from previous versions are not supported. There is no USB support for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.
SCSI
If you have a Power Macintosh with built-in SCSI support or a compatible PCI SCSI/SCSI 2 adapter board, 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 9.8 feet long. 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 1680, or you’ve purchased the optional IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card, you can connect the scanner to your Power Macintosh or PC with the IEEE 1394 FireWire cable. 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. Your PC must have an OHCI compliant IEEE 1394 port or card, and must be running a pre-installed version of Windows 2000 or Windows Me.
Adaptec Power Domain® Macintosh are designed for hard drives only and are not compatible with scanners.
If you install a USB card in your Macintosh and then upgrade your system to OS 8.6, your USB Manager wont 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.

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.
Dont disconnect or connect the USB cable when the Expression 1680 is scanning.
Windows Me, Windows 2000 or Windows 98 must be preinstalled on your computer, not upgraded. 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 scanners USB port.
3. Connect the flat end of the USB cable to your computers USB port or USB hub port.
If youre using a USB hub, connect the scanner to a first tier hub, which is the hub closest to the computer. If the scanner doesnt work with the hub, connect it directly to a USB port on your computer.
If your scanner and computer are both powered on, you see the Add New Hardware Wizard if youre running Windows 98 (Found New Hardware wizard in Windows Me or Windows 2000) or a message that your scanner driver needs to be installed if you have a Macintosh. Continue with the instructions in Installing the Windows Software on page 22 or Installing the Macintosh Software on page 47.
18
Setting Up Your Scanner

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 2940UW and 2940U2W SCSI boards for the Macintosh are designed for hard drives and are not compatible with scanners.
If you purchased a SCSI board as an option, follow the manufacturers 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 doesnt conflict with the ID number of other SCSI devices. Dont use SCSI ID 0, 1, or 7. If your Macintosh has a built-in CD-ROM, dont use SCSI ID 3.
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

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 are connecting the scanner directly to your computer, use a cable no more than 9.8 feet (3 meters) long.
Dont 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 its the last device in a SCSI chain, leave the terminator switch turned ON.
If youve connected your scanner in the middle of a SCSI chain, turn the terminator switch

Setting Up Your Scanner

Connecting to an IEEE 1394 FireWire Interface

If you have the Professional FireWire model of the Expression 1680, or if you have purchased the optional IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card, you can connect the scanner to your Power Macintosh or PC using an IEEE 1394 FireWire interface. 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. Your PC must have an OHCI compliant IEEE 1394 port or card, and must be running a pre-installed version of Windows 2000 or Windows Me.
See IEEE 1394 FireWire Scanner Interface Card on page 108 for information about system requirements and instructions on installing the card. See page 95 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 its 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. 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.
If you are using Windows, see the next page. Otherwise, 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 any major color photo retouching in a program such as Adobe Photoshop. To get the best possible scan, keep the document table clean, and make sure the document is flat against the glass surface.

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 youre 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 series, use a scanning resolution of up to 300 dpi. Try a scanning resolution of 240 dpi for 720 dpi printing.
®
Color
53
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 1680 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, youll 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.

Step-by-Step Scanning Instructions

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

Placing Your Original Document

1. Raise the scanner cover and place your document face down on the document table. If youre scanning a transparency, the optional transparency unit should be installed. (See Installing the Transparency Unit on page 97.)
If you have the Professional or Professional FireWire model of the EPSON Expression 1680, 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.
top corner of document

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 albumthat doesnt fit under the cover. Simply lift the back of the cover straight up. When you reattach the cover, line the rods up with the positioning holes and lower the cover into place.

Network Scanning
You can use EPSON Scan Server and EPSON TWAIN Pro Network, two applications on your EPSON Expression 1680 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®-compatible PC with a Pentium® processor
running Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 95, or Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or higher.
Client computers can be an IBM®-compatible PC with a Pentium® processor
running Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0, or a Power Macintosh or higher system running OS 8.0 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.

Setting Up the Scanner Server

You can set up any Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 95, or Windows NT 4.0 computer as a scanner server, as long as it has a network interface card installed and is running the TCP/IP protocol.
Before you begin, make sure to unlock the scanner and connect it to the scanner server (see Chapter 2, Setting Up Your Scanner, for details). If you dont have the TCP/IP protocol installed on the scanner server, see Appendix B, Installing the TCP/IP Protocol.
Follow the instructions for your operating system:
If you’re running Windows Me, continue with the next section.
If youre running Windows 2000, go to page 71.
If youre running Windows 98, go to page 75.
If youre running Windows 95 or Windows NT, go to page 80.

Installing the Scanner Server Software on Windows Me

Before you begin, make sure the Expression 1680 is connected to your computer. Also, make sure youve recalibrated your monitor to factory specifications.
Depending on how your computer system was originally set up, you may be asked to insert your Windows Me CD-ROM during driver installation. Make sure you have it available, or know where to find the Windows source files on your hard disk (for example, in the Windows folder). If you need help, contact your computer manufacturer.

Using a Network Scanner

Network scanning involves the following steps:
The scanner server must be turned on and running EPSON Scan Server.
From the client computer, 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. (See page 93 for instructions.)
Choose the
Image Type, Resolution
, and other settings you want for your scan.
(See Chapter 3, How To Scan, for more information about choosing settings.)
Place your first image on the document table (or in the optional 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
a 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
a 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
applications window. Close EPSON TWAIN Pro Network to end your connection to the scanner server and allow other client computers to use the scanner.
Some applications, such as Adobe Photoshop LE, automatically close the client computers connection to the scanner server when you press the
a
Start button. You cant use the aStart button to scan multiple images if
youre using these applications.

If you installed EPSON TWAIN Pro on the scanner server so that you could make a direct connection to the scanner, remember that you must exit EPSON Scan Server to use EPSON TWAIN Pro. EPSON Scan Server disables EPSON TWAIN Pro.
