Scanning Problems
You Have Trouble Creating a Searchable PDF File
If you are scanning a landscape-oriented document on the document table, make sure you place the pages with the bottom edge facing the scanner buttons.
If you are scanning a landscape-oriented document in the ADF, make sure you place the pages with the left edge facing into the feeder.
If you are scanning a document that has a colored background, use the PDF button or scan in Office Mode. Select Grayscale or Black&White as the Image Type setting, then select the Image Option setting and drop out the background color.
Select a resolution setting from 200 dpi to 600 dpi.
You Cannot Scan Using the Thumbnail Preview
If you are using Office Mode, the thumbnail preview is not available. Change the scan mode to Home Mode or Professional Mode. See Changing the Scan Mode for instructions.
If you are scanning images with a very dark or bright background, use normal preview and create marquees on the area you want to scan. See Previewing and Adjusting the Scan Area for instructions.
If you are scanning a large size document, use normal preview and create marquees on the area you want to scan. See Previewing and Adjusting the Scan Area for instructions.
Make sure the Document Type setting is correct. See Scanning in Home Mode or Scanning in Professional Mode for instructions.
Click Configuration, select the Preview tab, and adjust the thumbnail cropping area using the Thumbnail Cropping Area slider in the Preview menu. See Epson Scan Help for details.
You Have Trouble Adjusting the Scan Area in the Thumbnail Preview
Create a marquee or adjust the existing marquee to select the area you want to scan. See Creating a Marquee on a Preview Image for instructions.
Click Configuration, select the Preview tab, and adjust the thumbnail cropping area using the Thumbnail Cropping Area slider in the Preview menu. See Epson Scan Help for details.
Use the normal preview and create marquees on the area you want to scan. See Adjusting the Color and Other Image Settings for instructions.
You Cannot Scan Multiple Images at One Time
Position photos at least 0.8 inch (20 mm) apart from each other on the document table.
Scanning Takes a Long Time
Try scanning your original at a lower resolution setting to speed up scanning. See Selecting the Scan Resolution for instructions.
Computers with USB 2.0 (high speed) ports can scan faster than those with USB 1.1 ports. If you are using a USB 2.0 port with your scanner, make sure it meets the system requirements. See System Requirements for details.
