How To Scan

This chapter gives you step-by-step instructions for scanning with EPSON Scan. Follow the instructions here for:

Placing your document on the scanner’s document table

Starting EPSON Scan

Scanning with each of the three scanning modes

Using the preview window to select the area of your image that you want to scan

Selecting resolution, resizing images, and scanning color images

Placing Your Original Document

This section explains how to position a photo or single-page document for scanning.

If you’re scanning film or slides, see “Using the Film Guides” on page 23 for instructions on placing your transparencies (you must have the transparency unit installed). If you’re scanning a multi-page document using the optional automatic document feeder, see “Loading Paper in the Automatic Document Feeder” on page 31.

Note: If you have a Professional or Professional FireWire model of the EPSON Expression 1680, the transparency unit came with your scanner. Or you can order the transparency unit and automatic document feeder from EPSON. See page 19 for ordering information.
