Basic Scanning

Note:

The Transparency option is only available if the optional EPSON Transparency Unit (Perfection 600 TPU) is attached to your scanner. This option scans an image up to 8.5 x 11 inches.

Transparency

When you’re scanning transparent

 

originals, such as film negatives, the

 

light must shine through the original

 

instead of reflecting off it.

 

If your original is a negative, see

 

Scanning Negatives for more

 

information.

Scan Type

If you are scanning a black and white or grayscale image, you get improved performance by selecting the corresponding original type.

Specify your type of original before scanning:

30 bit Color

30 bit Color (the default option) saves

 

the scanned object as a color image.

10 bit Grayscale

10 bit Grayscale saves the scanned

 

object as a black and white image

 

with shades of gray.

1 bit Line Art

1 bit Line Art (OCR) saves the

(OCR)

scanned object as a black and white

 

line art image, with no gray tones.
