Epson Expression 1600 Scanner Setup

Scanning 3-layers with the Epson Expression

At times, you may require more clarity in your x-rays. This page explains how to capture 3 different layers of the x-ray necessary

for the 3 x-ray layer enhancement capability of QCIPro and QC2000. Please note that x-rays vary in density so the settings we pro-

vide are to be used only as guidelines. TIP: Scan the Medium Layer first. Then, make corrections for light/dark layers.

MEDIUM LAYER

This layer should be scanned first.

The Gamma setting should be left at

the default setting. The medium set-

ting emphasizes the cranial bone

structure.

Click the "Scan" button and save the

image. Make sure the file name is

unique (i.e. Jane Doe, Medium).

LIGHT LAYER

Click on the circled arrow or drag the

slider on the Gamma setting to the

right to lighten the image. You

should make sure the image displays

the soft tissue adequately.

Click the "Scan" button and save the

image. Make sure the file name is

unique (i.e. Jane Doe, Light).

DARK LAYER

Click on the circled arrow or drag the

slider on the Gamma setting to the

left to darken the image. You should

notice a considerable increase in the

clarity of the teeth.

Click the "Scan" button and save the

image. Make sure the file name is

unique (i.e. Jane Doe, Dark).

After scanning, select all three images from the "Scanned

Images" folder and drag them onto the QCIPro or QC2000

icon. One of the three images will appear. Frame the

image, but do not resize the window, as this will distort the

calibration of the x-ray. Click outside the image window

after you finish framing. The Input Dialog Box will appear.

Make sure the "three x-ray layers" option is checked, then

click on the lateral x-ray. The three images will be entered into

the program. Click on the Enhancement tool to combine all 3

layers of the x-ray for an enhanced and easy to trace image.
