Apple’s OS X documentation).

2. To start Classic, click the Classic icon in System Preferences. To find System Preferences go to the
Apple Menu or click on the icon in the Dock bar on the desktop. Classic can also be set up to start
automatically during the log in process. (Refer to your Apple documentation for installation and operation
of Macintosh OS X Classic and 9.2.1).

* Expression Series Scanner Notes:

1. Start your computer in 9.2.1 before you install PageManager. If the Start button does not work, restart the
computer.

2. In order to use the Twain Pro network driver, you must have the scanner attached to a PC running Scan
Server. On a PC, the scanner can use a USB, SCSI or FireWire (Windows 2000, Me, XP only) connection.

** Stylus Scan Notes:

You must install Smart Panel from its own folder. Start your computer in 9.2.1. From the Software CD open the
Smart Panel folder. Click on the Epson Smart Panel Installer icon to install. Before you can launch Smart Panel
you must install the Stylus Scan Updater. The file can be downloaded from the Epson web site.

Important Note: MAC OS X Classic supports USB-native and network-capable devices. Classic
does not support MAC Serial, SCSI or FireWire connected devices. Therefore, the Expression
636, 800 and 836XL that all require a SCSI connection, are not supported in Classic.
