Starting Epson Scan
If you want to scan an image and save it directly to a file, you can start Epson Scan as
a “standalone” program.
You can also use any TWAIN-compliant scanning program, such as ArcSoft
PhotoImpression, to scan with Epson Scan. When you are finished, the scanned
image opens in your scanning program so you can modify, print, and save it.
Epson Scan offers three scanning modes. See Overview of the Epson Scan Modes for a
description.
Then follow the steps in one of these sections to start Epson Scan:
■ Starting Epson Scan as a Standalone Program
■ Starting Epson Scan With Another Scanning Program
Overview of the Epson Scan Modes
Epson Scan lets you control all aspects of scanning and includes three modes:
■ Full Auto Mode lets you scan quickly and easily, without selecting any settings or
previewing your image. This is the default mode in Epson Scan.
Full Auto Mode is best when you need to scan documents or photos at 100% size
and you do not need to preview the images before scanning. You can restore faded
colors by clicking the Customize button.
■ Home Mode lets you customize some scanning settings and check their effects
with a preview image.
Home Mode is best when you want to preview images of photos, film, or slides
before scanning them. You can size the image as you scan, adjust the scan area,
and adjust many image settings, including color restoration.
■ Professional Mode gives you total control of your scanning settings and lets you
check their effects with a preview image.
Professional Mode is best when you want to preview your image and make
extensive, detailed corrections to it before scanning. You can sharpen, color
correct, and enhance your image with a full array of tools, including color
restoration.
