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 (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. |
