Using EPSON Scan

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.

  • Home Mode lets you customize a few scanning settings and check their effects with a preview image.

  • Professional Mode gives you total control of your scanning settings and lets you check their effects with a preview image.

You can use EPSON Scan as a “standalone” program to scan your image to a file on your computer. To scan documents or photos, see Starting a Scan With EPSON Scan. To scan film or slides, see Starting a Scan With EPSON Scan.

You also use EPSON Scan whenever you scan with another TWAIN-compliant program, such as Adobe Photoshop Elements. To scan documents or photos, see Starting a Scan With Another Scanning Program. To scan film or slides, see Starting a Scan With Another Scanning Program.
