Scanning Color Images

If the colors in your scanned image don't match those in your

original document, try experimenting with the

setting. Click the

window, and then select or deselect

To reproduce the most accurate colors, use MonacoEZcolor

to create color profiles for your scanner, printer, and monitor

(MonacoEZcolor is not available with the Special Edition

model of the scanner). Then use an ICC-compliant color

management application like Adobe Photoshop 5.0 to apply

the profiles. (Make sure to turn off color management in your

scanner software.)

Using the Dual Focus Mechanism

Selecting Resolution

As a rule of thumb for most images except line art, use a

scanning resolution that is approximately one third of your

output resolution. For example, use a scanning resolution of

up to 100 dpi with a 300 dpi laser printer, and up to 200 dpi

with a 600 dpi laser printer. For 1440 dpi ink jet printers, use

a scanning resolution of up to 300 dpi. Try a scanning

resolution of 240 dpi for 720 dpi printing.

Keep the following in mind when you choose a resolution:

The higher the resolution you select, the larger the resulting

image file will be. To keep your file size manageable, select

the lowest possible resolution that gives acceptable quality.

If you need to scan at a higher resolution, you can reduce

the size of the resulting image file by scanning only part of

the image.

Using a Network Scanner

Network scanning involves the following steps:

The scanner server must be turned on and running EPSON

Scan Server (PC only).

From the client computer, start the host application, then

start EPSON TWAIN Pro Network to establish a

™

connection to the scanner server. Only one client computer

at a time can connect to the scanner server.

Choose the

Image Type

you want for your scan.

Place your first image on the document table (or in the

automatic document feeder or one of the optional

transparency unit's film guides).

Start the scan. Although this can be done from EPSON

TWAIN Pro Network on the client computer, it may be

more convenient to press the scanner's ] Start button or to

start the scan from the scanner server. Then you can scan

several images with a single trip to the scanner.

If you want to scan more than one image, place your second

image on the document table and press the scanner's

] Start button again. Repeat this step for every image you

want to scan. (The settings you chose for the first image

apply to these images too.)

When you return to the client computer, your scanned

images appear in the host application's window. Close

EPSON TWAIN Pro Network to end your connection to

the scanner server and allow other client computers to use

the scanner.

Some applications, such as Adobe Photoshop

5.0 LE, automatically close the client

computer's connection to the scanner server

when you press the ] Start button. You can't

scan multiple images if you're using these

applications.
