Scanning from Start to Finish

Scanning with the EPSON Perfection 1240U lets you turn pictures and text into digital files on your computer just by pressing the ] Start, t Copy, or s Scan button on your scanner. You can use the buttons in conjunction with the EPSON Smart Panel, which has a convenient on-screen control panel. Then you can e-mail the files, display them on your web site, or use them to create projects that you can print out.

If you’re experienced with scanning, you can use EPSON TWAIN to scan with applications like Adobe PhotoDeluxe or any other TWAIN-compliant program. See “Scanning with EPSON TWAIN” on page 37 for instructions.

Placing Your Original Document

1. Raise the document cover and place your document face down on the document table glass.

2.Position the document so the horizontal and vertical edges are aligned with the guides on the top and right side of the document table. Be sure to leave a

small gap because an area of 0.2 inch (5 mm) out from the guides is not scanned.

3. Close the document cover slowly. Be careful not to move the document.

If you place your document against the guides, the document edges next to the guides will not be scanned.

The self-adjusting cover allows you to place thick documents on the document table glass without removing it (see page 44).
