Recommended Settings

If you are using the scanner buttons and EPSON Smart Panel, the software automatically selects the best settings for your scan. If you want to scan in Manual mode and select settings yourself, see your Scanner Basics guide for instructions. For the best scans, you need to select a resolution setting (dpi) that balances quality with file size. The optimum resolution also depends on how you plan to use your scanned image.

If you are scanning an image to view on the Web, select a resolution of 72 to 96 dpi. If you are sending the image by e-mail, select a resolution of 96 to 150 dpi. If you are going to print your scanned image, you need to scan at a higher resolution. Here are some recommended resolution settings:

Scanning resolution

Image type for printing

Photograph or magazine 300 dpi Small photograph to be enlarged 300 dpi to 3200 dpi Newspaper (text only), Text for OCR, Text with images 400 dpi Line art 300 to 3200 dpi 35 mm film (negative) or 35 mm slide (positive) 300 to 3200 dpi

Then plug the flat connector into any available

USB port on your computer or USB hub.

Your system may not work correctly if you use a USB cable other than the one supplied by EPSON or if you connect your scanner through more than one hub.
