Scanning is Slow
If scanning becomes slow, try these solutions:
• Scan your original at a lower resolution, if possible.
• Make sure your system meets the requirements for your operating system. If you are scanning a high-
resolution image, you may need more than the minimum requirements. If necessary, increase your
system's memory.
• In Epson Scan 2, turn off Quiet Mode on the Scan tab.
• If you are scanning over a wireless network, factors such as interference, network traffic, or weak
signal strength may affect your scanning speed.
