Starting a Scan With Epson Scan

If you want to scan film or slides and save them directly to files, you can start Epson Scan as a “standalone” program.

Place your film or slides on the scanner. See Placing Film or Slides 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.

The Epson Scan window appears.

Do one of the following, depending on the scan mode you are using.

Full Auto Mode
If the Mode box in the upper right corner of the window is set to Full Auto Mode, click the Scan button. Epson Scan automatically scans the image and saves it as a JPEG file in My Pictures (Windows) or Pictures (Mac OS X). For instructions on selecting optional settings, see Using Full Auto Mode.

Home or Professional Mode
If the Mode box in the upper right corner of the window is set to Home or Professional Mode, see Selecting Basic Settings for instructions.

Note:

In Full Auto Mode, you can scan only 35 mm color film strips or slides. If you want to scan other types of film, change to Home or Professional Mode.
