Chapter 1
Setting Up Your Scanner
Setting up your scanner is easy—just follow the steps in this chapter in the order
listed below.
1. Unpack and choose a good place for your scanner.
2. Unlock the scanner.
3. Install the SCSI interface card in your computer (if necessary) or install the
optional IEEE 1394 interface board in your scanner.
4. Set the SCSI ID number and terminator switch (if necessary).
5. Initialize the scanner.
6. Connect the scanner to your computer.
After you’ve set up your scanner and SCSI card or optional IEEE 1394 interface, you
need to install your software as described in the next chapter, “Installing Scanner
Software” on page 25.
Unpacking Your Scanner
Remove the scanner from the box, then remove the tape and packing material from
your scanner. Save the packaging in case you need it later.
The scanner is large and heavy, so you may need to have someone help
you unpack and lift it.
Make sure you plug the scanner into a properly grounded outlet. Check
the system and location requirements and follow all the safety instructions
in Appendix C, “Notices.”

not recommended, as these may be
used for the hard disk.
Setting the SCSI Terminator
The scanner’s SCSI terminator is built-in, with a switch to turn it on or off on the
scanner’s back panel.
If the scanner is your only SCSI device, leave the terminator turned ON (the default
setting).
If the scanner is the last device in the chain, leave the terminator turned ON.

Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer
To make sure your scanner is working properly, it’s a good idea to turn it on before
you connect it to your computer. Open the scanner’s document cover so you can see
the operation of the lamp carriage, and press the
OPERATE
button.
As the scanner initializes, the OPERATE
light on the scanner’s front panel comes
on. After a few seconds, the READY light
comes on.
Once you know the scanner is working
properly, you can connect it to your
computer. Follow these steps:
1. Turn off your scanner. Make sure the
computer and any SCSI devices
connected to your computer are
turned off.
2. Connect the scanner to your computer
using the SCSI cable that came with
your scanner.

If you’re connecting multiple SCSI devices, the total length of the SCSI
bus (cables) must not exceed 9.8 feet (3 meters); otherwise the system
may not work properly. If you’re connecting the scanner directly to your
computer, don’t use a cable longer than 9.8 feet (3 meters). Don’t use an
external terminator.
4. Plug in the power cables for your computer, scanner, and other external
SCSI devices.
Always turn on your scanner first. Otherwise, the computer may not recognize your
EPSON scanner when you install your software.
Installing the SCSI Software
Once the SCSI interface card is installed in your computer, Windows must locate and
install the SCSI card’s software drivers. The scanner and the scanning software will
not work if the SCSI card’s software drivers are not installed immediately after
installing the card. Your scanner software CD-ROM includes the Windows drivers
for your SCSI card.
If you have already installed the software for your SCSI card, see Chapter 2 to install
your scanner software.

Using IEEE 1394 to Connect Your Scanner
The optional IEEE 1394 interface board (B808342) offers high-speed data transfer
and flexible connectivity for your scanner. It supports a peak data transfer rate of
400 Mbps. Interface cables can be connected and disconnected without turning off
the scanner or your computer. You can connect multiple IEEE 1394 devices
simultaneously in either a daisy-chain or tree configuration.
You must be running a Windows Me or Windows 2000 system with a
built-in IEEE 1394 port or an IEEE 1394 adapter to use an IEEE 1394
connection.
Installing the IEEE 1394 Interface Board
To use your scanner as an IEEE 1394 device, you need to install the optional IEEE
1394 interface board.
1. Turn off the scanner. Unplug any power cords, then disconnect all cables from
the back of your scanner.
2. Use a cross-head screwdriver to remove the two screws securing the shield plate to
the optional interface slot (located above the two SCSI ports) then remove the
plate. Be sure to keep the screws in case you need to re-install the shield plate later.
22
Setting Up Your Scanner
Page 31
Static electricity can damage electronic components. Discharge static
electricity by touching the metal frame of your scanner before handling the
interface board.
3. Insert the interface board, with the circuit board face down, along the side guide
rails in the optional interface slot until it is flush with the back panel.
4. Secure the board with the attached retaining screws and reconnect all the cables.
Understanding IEEE 1394 Connections
The interface board is equipped with two cable connector ports. One port is used to
connect the board to the computer, and the other port is used to connect additional
IEEE 1394 devices in a daisy-chain or tree configuration. Use the cable supplied with
your board when connecting the scanner to your computer. The cable can be
connected without switching off the power supply to the computer or the scanner
because it complies with the IEEE 1394 standard.
Do not connect or disconnect IEEE 1394 cables when the scanner
software is running.
Setting Up Your Scanner

Connecting to Your Computer
Connect the scanner to your computer or other IEEE 1394 device as follows:
1. Connect one end of the cable to either port on the IEEE 1394 board at the back
of the scanner.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the IEEE 1394 port on your computer.
ComputerScanner
You can connect an additional IEEE 1394 device by connecting a cable to the
vacant port on your scanner, as shown below.
If you’re connecting the scanner through another IEEE 1394 device, connect the
other end of the cable to that device. Connect the scanner so that it is the last
IEEE 1394 device in the chain.
The IEEE 1394 cable supplied with the optional IEEE 1394 interface board
has 2 six pin connectors at each end. If you connect an IEEE 1394 device
with four pin connectors in a daisy chain or tree, you will need to use a 6:4
converter cable.

Using the Optional ADF
The optional automatic document feeder (ADF) automatically loads multi-page
documents into your scanner. It is particularly useful for optical character recognition
(OCR) scanning or for creating an image database. To use the ADF with your OCR
software, you must install EPSON TWAIN Pro (see Chapter 2) or the ISIS driver (see
Chapter 5).
The ADF is large and heavy. Clear a wide space around the scanner before
installing the ADF. You may need to have someone help you unpack and
lift it.
You can purchase the optional ADF (part number B813212) from your reseller or
from EPSON Accessories at (800) 873-7766 (U.S. sales only). In Canada, please call
(800) 873-7766 for dealer referral. Or visit our web site at www.epsonstore.com (U.S.
sales only).
Unpacking the Automatic Document Feeder
When you unpack your automatic document feeder, make sure you have the parts
shown below. If any items are missing or damaged, contact your EPSON dealer, or
call EPSON at (562) 276-4382 (in the United States) or (905) 709-3839 (in
Canada).

Because the automatic document feeder is heavy, you may want to have
someone help you with this procedure. Also, the document feeder is
large, so be sure to have adequate space around the scanner.
1. Make sure your scanner is turned
off and unplug the cables.
2. Remove your scanner’s document
cover by grasping the back of
the cover as shown and easing the
cover up.
3. Attach the two feet to the ADF as
shown.
4. Insert the installation screws that
came with the ADF into the
holes in the back of the scanner
and secure them with the
enclosed screwdriver tool, as
shown.

the document in the automatic document feeder. When you start EPSON
TWAIN Pro and click the Preview button, the first page is ejected. You can
adjust the marquee in the Preview area, and then load up to 100 pages of
the document in the automatic document feeder. The GT-10000+ scans
the area defined by the marquee on each page.

How to Scan
This chapter offers you some tips for getting the best scan, gives an overview of
the scanning process, and describes how to set up and use the a Start button for
one-step scanning.
Selecting Your Scanner Source
Your EPSON GT-10000+ scanner comes with two all-purpose drivers, EPSON
TWAIN Pro and TWAIN Pro Network. The scanner driver is what you select as the
source in your application. This is the software that allows your computer to
communicate with your scanner. It also allows you to select certain settings to
optimize the scanned image.
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.
If you’re accessing a network scanner connected to another computer,
always use TWAIN Pro Network as your source. For network scanning
instructions, see Chapter 6.
See the sections below for basic scanning with EPSON TWAIN Pro and Start button
scanning. For detailed instructions on using EPSON TWAIN Pro or TWAIN Pro
Network, see your electronic EPSON GT-10000+ Reference Guide. You can also
install the ISIS driver and use it as your source. (See the next chapter, “Scanning With
the ISIS Driver” on page 67.)

Scanning From Start to Finish
This section contains step-by-step instructions for scanning an image. Before you
scan, make sure you’ve set up your scanner and installed the software as described in
Chapter 2, “Setting Up Your Scanner.”
Placing Your Original Document
1. Raise the scanner cover and
place your document face
down on the
document table.
2. Position the document so
the horizontal and vertical
edges are carefully aligned
with the scales on the top
and left side 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 one end of the scanner and push down gently
until the cover clicks into place.

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, the better your
scan will be. While you can make some corrections in your scanning software, you’ll
need to do major photo retouching in an image-editing program, such as Adobe
PhotoDeluxe.
How to Scan
Page 73
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
series, 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. For
■
example, an 8.5 ×11-inch original scanned at 300 dpi can produce a 24MB file.
The same original scanned at 72 dpi creates 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.)
Color
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 GT-10000+ Reference Guide.
How to Scan

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
EPSON TWAIN Pro or EPSON TWAIN Pro Network main window to display the
Destination window, and then select or deselect
Unsharp Mask
Destination
button on the
.
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, 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.
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.

EPSON GT-10000+ Reference Guide.

Scanning With the ISIS Driver
This chapter tells you how to install and configure the ISIS (Image and Scanner
Interface Specification) driver for your application. ISIS is an industry-standard
interface for high-performance document scanning. The ISIS driver for the EPSON
GT-10000+ scanner is designed for OCR scanning either with or without the
automatic document feeder (ADF).
You can use this driver with any application that supports ISIS drivers. Configure the
ISIS driver for the type of scanning you do on a regular basis. Then you can quickly
process individual scanning jobs without having to adjust any settings.
For a complete list of ISIS-compatible applications, visit the Pixel
Translations web site at www.pixtran.com, and then click the Partners
button.
Several scanning applications suppress the ISIS interface and default
driver settings. Please check your software manufacturer’s
documentation for more information.
Installing the ISIS Driver
Before you install the ISIS driver, make sure your scanner and ADF are set up and
connected to your computer. Make sure to install an ISIS-compatible application
first, and then follow these steps:
1. Insert the EPSON GT-10000+ Scanner Software CD-ROM in your drive.

Network Scanning
Before you can use the EPSON GT-10000+ as a network scanner, your computers
must be configured and operational on an existing network with TCP/IP Protocol
installed. Then you can use the EPSON Scan Server and EPSON TWAIN Pro
Network software applications on your scanner software CD-ROM to share your
scanner with other users in a small workgroup.
Your scanner network must have a scanner server (the Windows computer connected
to the scanner) and at least one or more client computers. Only one client computer
can access the scanner at a time. However, you can have more than one scanner and
scanner server on a network, so clients can choose which scanner to use.
Your system must meet these minimum requirements for sharing a scanner:
The network computer that you use as the scanner server must be an
■
IBM-compatible computer running Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows 95,
Windows 2000, or Windows NT 4.0 (Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3, or
later is recommended).
Client computers must run Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows 95,
■
Windows 2000, or Windows NT 4.0.
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 A,
“Installing the TCP/IP Protocol,” for instructions.)
The network computer that you use as the scanner server must have EPSON Scan
■
Server installed. EPSON TWAIN Pro Network must be installed on client
computers to access the scanner over the network.
