After you start EPSON Scan in Office Mode, follow these steps to select your EPSON Scan settings:

Select whether the Image Type of your document pages is Color, Grayscale, or Black&White.

Select Auto Detect, ADF - Single-sided, or ADF - Double-sided as the Document Source setting.

Select the size of your original document as the Size setting.

Click the arrow next to the Resolution list and select the number of dots per inch at which you want to scan. See the table below for some guidelines:

What you will do with the scanned image	Suggested scan resolution
Send via e-mail, upload to web, view only on the screen	96 to 150 dpi
Print, convert to editable text (OCR)	300 dpi
Fax	200 dpi

Click the Preview button toward the bottom of the EPSON Scan window.

The ADF loads your first document page, then EPSON Scan prescans it and displays it in the Preview window. The ADF then ejects your first page.

Place your first document page on top of the rest of the pages, then load the entire document (up to 50 pages) into the ADF.

If necessary, you can draw a marquee (a line marking the scan area) around the portion of your document page that you want to scan in the Preview window.

For instructions on creating and adjusting a marquee, see Adjusting the Scan Area (Marquee).

Change any necessary Image Adjustment settings as listed in the table below.

Setting	Available mode(s) and description
Brightness	Adjusts the overall image lightness and darkness.
Contrast	Adjusts the difference between the light and dark areas of the overall image.
Unsharp Mask Filter	Turn on to make the edges of image areas clearer for an overall sharper image. Turn off to leave softer edges.
Descreening Filter	Removes the rippled pattern that can appear in subtly-shaded image areas, such as in skin tones. Also improves results when scanning magazine or newspaper images which include screening in their original print processes.
Text Enhancement	Enhances text recognition when scanning text documents.
Threshold	Adjusts the level at which the black areas in text and line art are delineated, improving text recognition in OCR programs. This setting is available only when the Image Type is set to Black&White.

Click the Scan button to scan your document pages.

What happens next depends on how you started your scan.

If you started your scan by running EPSON Scan as a standalone program, you see the File Save Settings window. See Selecting File Save Settings for details. If you started your scan from a scanning program such as Adobe Acrobat, your scanned pages open in the program window. Click Close to close the EPSON Scan window and view your scanned pages in the program.
