You can use any TWAIN-compliant scanning program, such as Adobe Acrobat, to scan with your scanner. You open the program, select EPSON Scan as your scanning program, and scan. When you are finished, the scanned image opens in your scanning program so you can modify, print, and save it.

Place the first page of your document in the ADF input tray. See Loading Documents in the Automatic Document Feeder for instructions.

Note:

Do not open the ADF while you are scanning or you will see an ADF error message and paper feeding will stop.

Start your scanning program.

Double-click the program icon from your desktop, if it is available, or do one of the following:

Windows:
Select Start > All Programs or Programs > program folder > program icon.

Mac OS X:
Open the Applications folder, select the program folder, and click the program icon.

Open the File menu and select the Import or Acquire option. (See your scanning program help for instructions on starting a scan.)

Select EPSON GT-2500.

In some programs, you must select the scanner as the “source” first. If you see a Select Source option, choose it and select your scanner there first.

Note for Windows XP users:

Do not choose a WIA option for your scanner from the Import or Acquire list; your scanner will not work correctly.

EPSON Scan starts in Office Mode the first time you open it. If necessary, click the arrow in the Mode box at the top right of the EPSON Scan window and select Office Mode.

You see the Office Mode window:

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 Professional Mode, you see a different EPSON Scan settings window. For instructions on using Professional Mode, see Selecting Basic Settings.

Note:

To change scan modes, see Changing the Scan Mode.
