Scanning from an Application

Follow the instructions below to scan from an image-processing application.

Selecting the Scanner Source (Windows only)

The first time you open your application in Windows, you have to select the scanner “source” you want to scan with. This is normally EPSON TWAIN (the standard software that comes with your scanner), but if you’ve installed SilverFast SE, you can select it instead.

If you need to install SilverFast SE, insert your Scanner Software CD-ROM, select LaserSoft SilverFast SE, and click Start Installation. If you prefer to install the SilverFast SE plugin for PhotoShop, see page 33. The first time you open SilverFast, you have to enter the serial number printed on the label on the CD-ROM sleeve.

Follow the steps below to scan from an application. (Since Adobe PhotoShop Elements comes with your scanner, this section uses it as an example, but you would perform similar steps with other graphics software.)

1.Start your image-processing application, such as Photoshop Elements.

2.Open the File menu and choose Import, then Select TWAIN_32 Source.

3. Select the EPSON TWAIN 5 source, as shown, and click Select.

If you’ve haven’t installed SilverFast SE, it won’t be listed as a source.
