Advanced Scanning / Scanning in the Manual Mode

Selecting a Destination

Destination list
Destination button

The Destination setting allows you to specify the application or the output device for which the scanned image is intended. Use the Destination list to select a predefined or user-defined destination, or use the Destination button to customize Destination settings.

Note:

When the Thumbnail preview is activated, the Destination button is not displayed.

Destination list

The Destination list contains the following predefined settings and any custom settings you have saved in the Destination dialog box. Click the arrows on the right to view all of the available settings.

If you are using an EPSON Stylus printer and are printing scanned images with the Economy, Normal, or Fine Print Quality settings in your printer software, selecting EPSON Stylus Printer (Fine) is recommended. If you are printing with the SuperFine or Photo Print Quality settings, select EPSON Stylus Printer (Photo).

Note:

The effects of the Destination settings cannot be viewed in the Preview window.

Destination button

The Destination button opens the Destination dialog box, where you can change Resolution settings and add your custom settings to the Destination list, as described below.

Click the Destination button. The following dialog box appears.

Destination Name

Predefined and custom setting names appear in the Destination Name list. Select a setting from the list, or save new custom settings by typing a name in the Destination Name box, then click Save.

Resolution

Select a scanning resolution for Black & White or Gray/Color.

Note:

When the Pixel Depth setting in the Image Type dialog box is set to Black & White, the Black & White setting takes effect. For other Pixel Depth settings, the Gray/Color setting takes effect.

To print your scanned document when Resolution is set to Black & White, select the same resolution setting from the list as you select in the printer driver. To print your scanned document when Resolution is set to Gray/Color, select a resolution between 150 and 300 dpi. If you select a higher resolution, the Gray/Color setting requires longer to print, but does not improve the output quality.

The Resolution setting is closely related to the Image Size and Scale settings. If you change them arbitrarily, the resulting image may not be what you expected.

The range of resolution values depends on your scanner.

Save/Delete/OK/Cancel/Help buttons

To save the settings you made, type a new name in the Destination Name box, and then click Save.

To delete a Destination setting, select the target setting name to be deleted in the Destination Name list, then click Delete.

To apply the settings you made, click OK. To cancel the settings, click Cancel.

To access the online help, click Help.
