Print, Copy, and Scan

If you’ve used a printer before, you know how to print with your EPSON Stylus Scan 2000. It works like any other computer printer.

Using your EPSON Stylus Scan 2000 for quick copies is the same as using a photocopy machine: you insert a page, press a few buttons, and out comes your copy.

Welcome

When you want to use photos or original artwork in your creations, you first have to get them into your computer. That’s where your scanner comes in. You insert your original the same way you do for copying. But instead of pressing the buttons on the control panel, you use your software to control the scanner. You bring the image into your computer, enhance or edit it, and then place the image into your newsletters and flyers.

Make sure you follow all the instructions on your sheet to set up your EPSON Stylus Scan 2000 and install its software. Before you use it, turn to Chapter 8 in this guide for information about system and location requirements, year 2000 readiness, and safety.

Special Features

Your EPSON Stylus Scan 2000 and software make it easy to do specialized projects using these features:

■ Photo Print (Windows only)

You can make extra prints of your favorite photos, starting with an actual photograph or with an image on your computer. You can choose the size, number, and format of your prints, and use special paper to get prints almost as good as those from film processing.

■ Copy Utility or Personal Copy

Feed in a printed document and use the control panel on your computer screen to make customized settings for high-quality copies.

Start Here

■ OCR

Scanning a document usually creates an image file, even when you’re working with text. OCR (optical character recognition) lets you scan a page of words and create a text file that you can edit in your word processing application.

■ Fax

If you have a modem, you can send and receive faxes with your EPSON Stylus Scan 2000. Anything that you can scan in or create on your computer, you can fax. The same utility lets you receive incoming faxes. Or you can use

™

to receive faxes through your e-mail. See page 104

eFax for more information.

■ E-mail

If you have a modem, an Internet connection, and an e-mail application, you can scan a page or photo, and send it to anyone you want.

CopyingCopying

You can use your EPSON Stylus Scan 2000 like a standalone copier—load paper in the feeder, insert a document into the scanner, then press the turn on your computer.

You can use the buttons on the control panel to choose an enlarged or reduced copy, and to set the copy mode.

If you want to make more than one copy, or higher quality copies, you can use the software that came with your EPSON Stylus Scan. You can also use the software to enhance photos, adjust colors, or use a number of special copying features.

2. Open the protection sheet and insert your document all the way to the top.

3. Feed the sheet into the scanner following the instructions above.
