Connect the Scanner
After your transparency unit is installed, it's time to get connected.
1
Slide the transportation lock to
the UNLOCK position to unlock
the scanner carriage.
2
Connect the scanner to your
computer using either the USB
or FireWire cable that came with
your scanner, or a SCSI cable.
Don't connect more than one cable.
Note: Only the Professional FireWire model comes with a FireWire cable.
If you're using USB...
Plug the
square end of the USB cable into the scanner's
USB port. Plug the
flat end into any available USB port on
your computer or USB hub.
Note: Your scanner may not work correctly if you use a USB
cable other than the one supplied by EPSON, or if you connect
your scanner to a multi-level USB hub system.
If you're using IEEE 1394 (FireWire)...
Plug one end of the IEEE 1394 cable into the scanner's IEEE 1394 port,
and the other end into an IEEE 1394 (FireWire) port on your computer.
If you're using SCSI...
If you have another SCSI device
that uses SCSI ID 2, turn the SCSI
ID switch on the back of the scanner
to a new number. Do not use 0 or 7.
Unless your scanner is connected
in the middle of a SCSI chain,
leave the terminator switch on the
back of the scanner turned ON.
Squeeze the lock releases on your
SCSI cable, and plug it into either SCSI
connector on the back of the scanner.
Connect the pin end of the cable to the
SCSI port on your computer.
3
Plug one end of the scanner's
power cord into the AC inlet at
the back of the scanner, and
the other end into a grounded
electrical outlet.
4
Press the
power
button on the front
of the scanner to
turn it on. The green
READY light starts
flashing.

USB: When the READY light stops flashing, you're ready to scan.
FireWire: If you're running Windows, you see the New Hardware
Wizard. Wait until the READY light stops flashing, then complete the
wizard. If you see a message that the software is not digitally signed,
click Install Anyway (XP) or Continue (2000).
SCSI: Wait until the READY light stops flashing, then start the Add
Hardware Wizard in the Windows Control Panel. Follow the on-screen
instructions to let Windows detect the scanner.
Getting the Most
From Your Scanner
The following sections contain overviews of how to get the most out of your
professional scanner and its software. For detailed instructions, see the
electronic or printed manuals for each software application. The SilverFast
®
CD-ROM also contains useful QuickTime
tutorials.
Managing Color Data
You can use MonacoEZcolor and your device software to provide accurate
color data across all your computer input and output devices (your scanner,
monitor, digital camera, and printer). Here are the basic steps to manage
color for scans that you will print. See your EZcolor online guides for
detailed instructions.
1
First you need to use the Create Printer Profile option in EZcolor
to create profiles for your scanner and printer.
You must create profiles for each type of print media and each group
of settings. Print an RGB Target with the printer, type of paper, and
settings you will use when printing images.
2
Open Adobe Photoshop Elements.
3
Choose Edit > Color Settings > Full color management—optimized
for print. Then click OK.
4
Select File > Import > SilverFast (Epson Expr 1680).
5
Click the General tab. For the Original setting, select Reflective or
Transparency. Then click the Option (or Options) button. Click the
CMS tab, if necessary.

For the Scanner -> Internal setting,
select Image Colour Matching (ICM)
in Windows or ColorSync in Macintosh.
For the Internal -> Monitor setting,
select Automatic. For the Internal ->
Output setting, select RGB.
7
For the Scanner (Reflective) or
Scanner (Transparency) settings,
select the Monaco scanner profiles
you created. For the Internal setting,
select Adobe RGB (1998).
8
Click Embed ICC profile to save
the settings in your scan, click Apply,
then click OK.
9
You'll be prompted to prescan your image. Click Yes and adjust any
scan settings, then click Scan RGB to scan your image.
10
Click File > Print with Preview or Print Preview. Click Show Other
Options and then select Color Management. Choose your Monaco
printer profile under the Print Space options.
11
Click Print, then check your settings in your printer software (making
sure that color management is turned off and all your printer settings
are correct). Click OK or Print to print your image.
Note: See your electronic SilverFast manual on the SilverFast
CD-ROM for detailed color space and color management information.
To view the manual, you'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is
included on your SilverFast CD-ROM.

button
and then click the parameter button

Scanning 48-bit Images
For images in full 48-bit color depth, you can scan into ArcSoft PhotoStudio
with EPSON Scan. You can also scan an image with the standalone
SilverFast application.

photo face down on the glass. Make
sure the white document mat is in place.

SilverFast application (SF-App) and
