Scans are always performed from within a host application (the application into which you plan to import the scanned image or document). You have to start this application before you can access your scanner software.
Once you’ve opened your application and selected your scanner driver, continue with the instructions under “Scanning with EPSON TWAIN Pro” below or “Scanning with LaserSoft SilverFast 4.0” on page 39. If you’re using the ISIS driver, see your electronic EPSON Expression 836XL ISIS Driver User’s Guide.
Scanning with EPSON TWAIN Pro1.Start your host application (for example, Adobe Photoshop 5.0 LE).
2.Select your scanner source. (Unless you change your source, you only need to do this step once.)
For example, if you’re running Windows and using Adobe Photoshop 5.0 LE as your host application, choose Select TWAIN_32 Source. In the Select Source dialog box, select EPSON TWAIN
If you have a Macintosh, click File, Import, Twain Select. In the Select a source dialog box, choose EPSON TWAIN Pro and click OK.
The command you choose from the File menu differs from one host application to another. With other host applications, you might choose Acquire or Select Source instead of Import.
