Starting a Scan from a Scanner Button

You can scan using the

start button on your scanner. This automatically starts Document Capture Pro (Windows) or Document Capture (Mac) and the scan job you have assigned to the button.

Note: If you installed the Epson ScanSmart software, pressing the

start button on your scanner starts Epson ScanSmart instead. For instructions on scanning with Epson ScanSmart, see the help information in Epson ScanSmart or click here to access the Epson ScanSmart User's Guide.

Note: If you did not install Epson ScanSmart, make sure Epson Scan 2 and either Document Capture Pro (Windows) or Document Capture (Mac) are installed on the computer connected to the scanner. Document Capture Pro (Windows) and Document Capture (Mac) do not support scanning from the

start button on your scanner over a wireless network (ES-500W/ES-500WR). Launch Epson Scan 2 before scanning from the

start button on your scanner.

Make sure the scanner is connected to your computer or network.
Load an original in your scanner.
Press the start button. The scanner starts the job that was assigned to the start button in Document Capture Pro (Windows) or Document Capture (Mac).
Note: You can view or change the scan settings using Document Capture Pro (Windows) or Document Capture (Mac).

Note: If your scanner is connected to one computer via USB and another computer via wireless, pressing the start button on the scanner will save the scanned images to the wirelessly connected computer (ES-500W/ES-500WR).
