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

If you’re accessing a network scanner connected to
another computer, select

dragging the box to resize the marquee.
Click the

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

light on the front of the scanner flashes while
it’s scanning. In a few moments, a scanned image is
imported into your host application’s window.

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

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.
