Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer

You can connect the scanner to your computer in one of the following ways:

■

SCSI

If you have a compatible PCI SCSI/SCSI 2 adapter board, or your computer has an ASPI-compliant SCSI 2 board (Adaptec® boards are recommended), you can connect the scanner with a SCSI 2 cable (micro DB 50-pin connector) not more than 9.8 feet (3 meters) long. If you want to use the 68-pin connector, you will need a SCSI 3 cable and SCSI ultra-wide 68-pin host adapter board.

■

IEEE 1394

If you have purchased the optional IEEE 1394 scanner interface card, you can connect the scanner to your PC with the IEEE 1394 cable. Your PC must have an OHCI compliant port or card, and must be running a pre-installed version of Windows Me or Windows 2000. For installation instructions, see page 21.

Connecting to a SCSI Interface

Before you connect the scanner, you must have an ASPI-compliant SCSI 2 interface board installed in your computer. Some computers come with a SCSI 2 board preinstalled; check your computer documentation.

You may need to change the scanner’s SCSI ID setting before you connect it to your computer. The scanner’s SCSI ID number default setting is 2. If you need to change this number, turn the SCSI ID dial on the back panel. Be sure to choose a unique number that doesn’t conflict with the ID number of other SCSI devices.

Don’t use SCSI ID 7, which is usually reserved for the SCSI interface in the computer. SCSI ID 0 and 1 are also not recommended, as these may be used for the hard disk.

SCSI ID dial

Setting Up Your Scanner

17

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.

.

Setting the Select Switch

The scanner has two SCSI connectors: one for a 68-pin SCSI cable and the other for a 50-pin SCSI cable. You may need to change the select switch setting depending on the SCSI card and cable you are using in your computer.

If you are using a 50-pin host adapter and SCSI cable connection anywhere on the bus between the host adapter and the scanner, use the N setting. Use the W setting for 68-pin SCSI ultra-wide host adapter and cable connections.

Setting Up Your Scanner

19

Connecting the SCSI Cable to Your Computer

To connect the SCSI cable to your computer, follow these steps:

1. Make sure your scanner, computer, and any SCSI devices connected to your computer are turned off.

2. Connect the scanner to your computer using a suitable SCSI cable.

Squeeze the lock releases on the lock connector end of the SCSI cable and plug the cable into the appropriate SCSI connector on the back of the scanner. The cable is secure when both connector locks snap in.

68-pin SCSI interface

3. Connect the pin end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI port on your computer or another SCSI device in the chain and tighten the screws to secure the cable.

Whether you’re connecting the scanner directly to your computer or 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.

50-pin SCSI interface

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.

3. Tighten the retaining screws and reconnect the scanner’s cables.

Connecting the IEEE 1394 Cable to Your Computer

The IEEE 1394 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 devices in a daisy chain or tree configuration. You can also connect the scanner to another IEEE 1394 device so that it’s the last IEEE 1394 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 port on the card.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the IEEE 1394 port on your computer or on another IEEE 1394 device.

Chapter 3

How to Scan

This chapter gives you an overview of the scanning process and then provides step-by-step scanning instructions.

Overview

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 Your Scanner Source

Your EPSON GT-30000 scanner comes with two all-purpose drivers, EPSON TWAIN HS and EPSON TWAIN HS Network, as well as the ISIS driver. 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 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.

If you’re accessing a GT-30000 scanner connected to another computer, always use EPSON TWAIN HS Network as your source. If you’re accessing the GT-30000 scanner connected to your computer, always use EPSON TWAIN HS. Do not use EPSON TWAIN HS Network.

53

For details on using EPSON TWAIN HS or EPSON TWAIN HS Network, see page 58 and your electronic EPSON GT-30000 Reference Guide. You can also install the ISIS driver and use it as your source. (See the ISIS User’s Guide on your GT-30000 Scanning Tools CD-ROM for details.)

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

54

■

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-30000 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 HS or EPSON TWAIN HS 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.

For more information, see “Making and Modifying Marquees” in your electronic EPSON GT-30000 Reference Guide.

Step-by-Step Scanning Instructions

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 1, “Setting Up Your Scanner.”

If you are scanning a document with multiple pages, see “Loading the Automatic Document Feeder” below. If you are scanning a single page, see “Placing a Single Original Document” on page 57.

Loading the Automatic Document Feeder

You can load up to 100 sheets in the automatic document feeder (ADF). First, make sure the document:

■

Has no wet ink on it.

■

Has no holes.

■

Is not ripped or wrinkled.

■

Has no staples or other objects attached that may damage the feeder.

■

Has no folds.

56

■

Is not a multipart form.

■

Is not bound.

■

Has no carbon coating.

■

Has no cut-out areas.

When scanning high-quality color or halftone documents, it’s best to open the ADF and scan documents manually.

Don’t open the ADF while scanning. You’ll get an option error and possibly a paper feeding error. Always close the ADF before scanning or using the feeder.

How to Scan

To load documents into the ADF, follow these steps:

1. Slide the edge guide all the way out.

2. Insert the document stack face up into the ADF until it meets resistance. Then move the right edge guide so it is flush with the right edge of your document.

3. Continue with the scanning procedure on page 58.

Placing a Single Original Document

Follow these steps to position a single page:

1. Raise the ADF 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 ADF slowly. Be careful not to move the document.

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 need to do this step only once.)

For example, if you’re using Presto! PageManager as your host application, click

File HS

Chapter 4

Network Scanning

You can use EPSON Scan Server and EPSON TWAIN HS Network, two applications on your EPSON GT-30000 Scanner Software 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® Pentium® compatible PC running Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 95, or Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or higher.

■

Client computers can be running Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 95, 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 for instructions on installing the TCP/IP protocol).

■

EPSON Scan Server must be installed on the scanner server, and EPSON TWAIN HS Network must be installed on client computers.

■

It is recommended the scan server have a static IP address.
