Option error: There’s a problem with an installed option (EPSON TWAIN will report the error condition). Check to make sure the automatic document feeder is flat against the document table. Check that your option is securely connected to the option connector at the back of the scanner. Finally, check that the automatic document feeder isn’t out of paper and doesn’t have a paper jam. If these suggestions don’t solve the problem, call your EPSON dealer.

Installing the Scanner

Unlock the carriage before installing the Automatic Document Feeder by turning the transportation lock counterclockwise.

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. Turn on the scanner and wait until the carriage moves to the home position (the left side).
2. Turn off the scanner.
3. Press in and turn the transportation lock clockwise to the locked position to secure the carriage.

Scanning with EPSON TWAIN HS

Follow the steps below to scan a document using EPSON TWAIN HS or EPSON TWAIN HS Network.
1. Start your host application (for example, Presto! PageManager or any other application that supports EPSON TWAIN HS).
2. Select your scanner source. (Unless you change your source, you only need to do this step once.)
For example, if you’re running Presto! PageManager as your host application, click Select Source dialog box, select click
Select
.
If you’re accessing a network scanner connected to another computer, select your input source and click
You can’t select EPSON TWAIN HS as your scanner source if you’re using a network scanner and EPSON Scan Server is running. EPSON Scan Server disables EPSON TWAIN HS.
For example, choose

button to automatically define the scan area around the edges of your image. You can also adjust the scan area by positioning the mouse pointer over the dotted line around the marquee’s edge and dragging the box to resize the marquee.
Click the
Auto Exposure
button to automatically set
the highlight and shadow exposures.
Generally it’s a good idea to use the Auto Exposure button to obtain the best settings for your scan. See your electronic EPSON GT-30000 Reference Guide for more information about choosing settings.
If you need to remove color cast from your image, use the Gray Balance Intensity feature.
6. When you’ve finished making adjustments, click the button.
The

Using a Network Scanner

Network scanning involves the following steps:
Two or more computers must be connected on the same
network segment running TCP/IP protocol.
The scanner server must be turned on and running
EPSON Scan Server.
From the client computer, start EPSON TWAIN HS
Network to establish a connection to the scanner server. Only one client computer at a time can connect to the scanner server. (See “Starting EPSON TWAIN HS Network” on page 7 for instructions.)
Choose your settings, and then place your document on
the scanner or in the automatic document feeder.
Start the scan. Although this can be done from EPSON
TWAIN HS Network on the client computer, it may be more convenient to press the scanner’s to start the scan from the scanner server. A progress meter appears on both the scanner server and client computer as the image is pre-scanned, then scanned.
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.)
The Start button is only available when you use EPSON TWAIN HS to access a scanner connected to your computer and you are running Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows 98. If you are running Windows 95 or Windows NT, the button is disabled.
When you return to the client computer, your scanned
images appear in the host application’s window. Close EPSON TWAIN HS Network to end your connection to the scanner server and allow other client computers to use the scanner.
When you press the Start button, some applications automatically close the client computer’s connection to the scanner server when the scan is finished. You can’t use the
Start button to scan multiple images if you’re using these
applications.

Starting EPSON Scan Server
EPSON Scan Server starts automatically whenever the scanner server is turned on. When EPSON Scan Server is running, you’ll see either the EPSON Scan Server dialog box, or the EPSON Scan Server icon on the Windows taskbar. If you need to start EPSON Scan Server manually, click
Start, Programs, EPSON Scan Server
EPSON Scan Server
.
You can quit EPSON Scan Server at any time. Just click the
button on the EPSON Scan Server dialog box.
Exit
Before you exit, make sure no client computers are trying to use the scanner. Don’t exit if the status area of the EPSON Scan Server dialog box indicates that you are connecting to a client. Wait until you see the message Waiting for connection.
, and then select
click to exit
3. Start EPSON TWAIN HS Network.
If your host application is Presto! PageManager for EPSON, choose
from the File menu. When
Acquire
EPSON TWAIN HS Network starts, the EPSON TWAIN HS Network main menu appears and you connect to the scanner server.
Since the settings and controls for EPSON TWAIN HS Network are the same as those for EPSON TWAIN HS, see “Scanning with EPSON TWAIN HS” on page 5 for general scanning instructions. For more detailed information about settings, see the EPSON GT-30000 Reference Guide on your scanner software CD-ROM.
Starting a Scan
You can start a scan on your network scanner in several ways. However, the client computer must be running EPSON TWAIN HS Network to connect to the scanner server.
You can start EPSON TWAIN HS Network on the client
computer from a host application, make your scan settings, and click the HS Network main window. The scanned image is imported into your host application’s window.

Scan
If you installed EPSON TWAIN HS 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 HS. EPSON Scan Server disables EPSON TWAIN HS.
Starting EPSON TWAIN HS Network
You connect to the scanner server by starting EPSON TWAIN HS Network on your client computer. Follow these steps:
1. Start your host application.
2. Select EPSON TWAIN HS Network as your source, or scanner driver. (You only need to do this step once.)
For example, if you’re using Presto! PageManager for EPSON as your host application, choose
Select Source
from the File menu. In the Select Source window, choose
EPSON TWAIN HS Network
The command you choose from the File menu depends on the host application. With some applications, for example, you might choose Import or Select TWAIN_32 Source.
