Calibrating Your Scanner

If you notice any of the following image quality problems, you can calibrate the scanner using the calibration sheet that came with it:
Note: The illustration shows the DS-70, but the steps are the same for the DS-80W.
  1. Turn on the scanner and make sure it is connected to the computer.
    Note: Make sure the scanner battery is not low or calibration will not start (DS-80W).
  2. Load the calibration sheet into the scanner with the arrows at the trailing edge of the sheet pointing into the input slot.


  3. Do one of the following to start the Epson Scan 2 Utility:
    • Windows 11: Click , then search for Epson Scan 2 Utility and select it.
    • Windows 10: Click > Epson > Epson Scan 2 Utility.
    • Windows 8.x: Navigate to the Apps screen and select Epson Scan 2 Utility.
    • Windows (other versions): Click or Start > All Programs or Programs > EPSON > Epson Scan 2 > Epson Scan 2 Utility.
    • Mac: Open the Applications folder, click Epson Software, and click Epson Scan 2 Utility.
  4. Click Maintenance.
  5. Click Calibration. The scanner feeds and ejects the calibration sheet. Calibration takes about 20 seconds.
    Note: You can use the calibration sheet multiple times. If calibrating the scanner does not improve the image quality, contact Epson for support.
