The following window appears.

Specify the Destination settings to match your document.

When you specify a high resolution, the number of pixels of the data increases and the scanned image becomes fine in texture. However, increasing the resolution causes the data size to increase. Specify a suitable resolution according to the scanning purpose.

The following table indicates the suitable resolution to use according to the scanning purpose.

Click the Preview button to preview the images.

Specify the size of the scanning area as Size and specify the Adjustments settings, if necessary.

The scanned images are sent to the application or saved in the specified folder.

Scanning double-sided documents

You do not need to use the preview feature when scanning the whole document or image. The scanner automatically finds and scans the whole image. Follow the steps below to scan an image or document.

Note:

Depending on the application, you may not be able to scan multiple images.

Load the document in the Automatic Document Feeder.

Start EPSON Scan.

Choose the Office Mode or Professional Mode from the list box at the top right of the window. We recommend the Office Mode.

In the EPSON Scan main window, select ADF-Double-sided for Document Source.

Choose the appropriate settings for scanning.

Click Scan.

Scanning mixed size documents

EPSON Scan enables you to easily scan documents of different sizes using the Automatic Document Feeder. It recognizes each size of the original documents and then scans them while keeping the original sizes.

Note:

If you preview documents without selecting Document Size, all of the different sizes are scanned in A3 size.

Depending on the application, you may not be able to scan multiple images.

You can only mix documents with the same width; for example, A3 and the length of A4 or B4 and the length of B5 are possible.

If document sizes are mixed, all edges of the documents must be aligned at the entrance of the documents.

This feature is only available in the following situations: In the Office Mode: Auto Detect must be selected for Document Size, and scanning must be done without previewing. In the Professional Mode: Scanning must be done without previewing.

Load the documents in the Automatic Document Feeder.

Start EPSON Scan.

Choose the Office Mode or Professional Mode from the list box at the top right of the window. We recommend the Office Mode.

In the EPSON Scan main window, make sure that ADF-Single-sided or ADF-Double-sided is selected from the Document Source list.

Choose the appropriate settings for scanning.

Click Scan.

Scanning part of a document

To scan only a part of a document, follow the steps below.

Load the document in the Automatic Document Feeder.

Start EPSON Scan.

Choose the Office Mode or Professional Mode from the list box at the top right of the window. We recommend the Office Mode.

In the EPSON Scan main window, make sure that ADF-Single-sided or ADF-Double-sided is selected from the Document Source list.

Click the Preview button. The document is ejected after previewing.

Note:

The second page will be fed immediately after the first page is scanned, and then ejected without being scanned.

Draw a marquee (a frame around a part of a document) to define the part of the image you want to scan by dragging the mouse pointer over that area.

Set documents, including the ejected documents, to be scanned in the Automatic Document Feeder.

Choose your settings and then click the Scan button.
