You can start EPSON Scan in three ways. Depending on your scanning purpose, use the starting method creatively.

When using a TWAIN-compliant application

If you want to edit scanned images further, start EPSON Scan from a TWAIN-compliant application. Scanned images are sent to the application, and you can then edit the scanned images.

Note for Mac OS X users:

You cannot start EPSON Scan using a TWAIN-compliant application as described here.

If Adobe Photoshop is installed on your computer before you install EPSON Scan, you can start EPSON Scan using Photoshop. In Photoshop, select Import from the File menu, and then choose EPSON Scanner Perfection 3200.

When you install Adobe Photoshop to your computer after installing EPSON Scan, you need to install the Photoshop Plug-in driver. See Installing the Photoshop Plug-in.
