If you want to scan an image and save it directly to a file, you can start EPSON Scan as a “standalone” program.

Place your document or photo on the document table. See Placing Originals on the Document Table for instructions.

Do one of the following to start EPSON Scan:

Windows:
Double-click the EPSON Scan icon on your desktop.

Or select Start > All Programs or Programs > EPSON Scan > EPSON Scan.

Mac OS X:
Open the Applications folder and click the EPSON Scan icon.

EPSON Scan starts in Office Mode the first time you open it.

For instructions on using Office Mode, see Selecting EPSON Scan Office Mode Settings for instructions.

If the Mode setting in the upper right corner of the window is set to Home Mode or Professional Mode, you see a different EPSON Scan settings window. For instructions on using Home or Professional Mode, see Selecting Basic Settings.

Note:

To change scan modes, see Changing the Scan Mode.
