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
23
Page 32

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.
Computer Scanner
You can connect an additional IEEE 1394 device by connecting a cable to the vacant port on your scanner, as shown below.
If youre 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).

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.

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 youre 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 youve 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 albumthat doesnt 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 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.
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

Page 74

Scanning Color Images

If the colors in your scanned image dont 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, its 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, 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.

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.

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:

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.

Setting Up the Scanner Server

You can set up any Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows 2000, or Windows NT 4.0 computer as a scanner server, as long as it is configured and operational on an existing network with TCP/IP Protocol installed. If you dont have the TCP/IP Protocol installed on the scanner server, see Appendix A, Installing the TCP/IP Protocol, for instructions.
Be sure to unlock the scanner and connect it to the scanner server using the SCSI cable that came with your scanner, or connect it using the optional IEEE 1394 interface, as described in Chapter 1, Setting Up Your Scanner. Then install the scanner driver on the scanner server, as described in Chapter 2, Installing Scanner Software.
