Introduction

Your EPSON Perfection® 2450 PHOTO scanner lets you turn pictures and documents into digital files on your computer. The scanner includes a built-in transparency unit that makes scanning slides, film strips, and other transparencies quick and easy.

For most scans, EPSON® recommends using the EPSON Smart Panel™ software. This software guides you step-by-step through many common scanning tasks. See “Scanning with EPSON Smart Panel” on page 9 for instructions.

If you’re experienced with scanning, you can scan from applications like Adobe® Photoshop® Elements or almost any other graphics program using your EPSON TWAIN software. Or, if you’ve installed it, you can use LaserSoft Imaging™ SilverFast® SE instead of EPSON TWAIN. See “Advanced Scanning” on page 27 for details.

Instructions for setting up your scanner can be found on the Start Here sheet.
