Destinations

Destination list
Destination button

Select the destination, or output device, where the scanned image is to be printed or displayed using the Destination list or button.

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 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 allows you to customize the Destination settings. To make your own settings, such as scanning resolution, click this button. The following dialog box appears.

Destination Name:

Predefined and custom setting names appear in the Destination menu.

Resolution:

Specify a scanning resolution for line drawing and halftone images, or photos.

Note:

When the Pixel Depth setting in the Image Type dialog box is set to Black & White, the Drawing/Halftone setting takes effect and the Photo setting becomes irrelevant. For other Pixel Depth settings, the Photo setting takes effect and the Drawing/Halftone setting becomes irrelevant.

To print your scanned document when Resolution is set to Drawing/Halftone, 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 Photo, select a resolution between 150 and 300 dpi. If you select a higher resolution, the Photo 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.

Unsharp Mask

You can select or deselect the Unsharp Mask setting. Selecting the check box improves image sharpness.

Unsharp mask off

Unsharp mask on

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 menu, then click Delete.
