Scanning in Epson Scan 2

Epson Scan 2 gives you access to basic and advanced scanning features. You can scan your document and save the scanned image in various file formats in your operating system's Documents or My Documents folder, or open it in your scanning program. You can preview the scanned image and select or change settings as necessary.

Load your original in the product.
Start Epson Scan 2. You see this window:

Note: The Document Source setting is automatically set to ADF for your product.
If you want to scan different size originals by loading them into the input slot one by one, check the Automatic Feeding Mode checkbox and click Scan. Scanning begins as soon as you load each original.
Note: Select Settings > Document Source Settings > Automatic Feeding Mode Timeout (minutes) and enter a value to set the number of minutes before the scanner exits Automatic Feeding Mode.

Note: When scanning thin paper and other originals that are likely to jam, press the slow mode button before placing the original to slow down the scanning speed (DS-C490).
Select the Scanning Side setting that matches the sides of the original that you want to scan.
Select the Document Size setting that matches the size of your original, or select Auto Detect to have Epson Scan 2 automatically detect the size. You can select Customize to enter a custom size, if necessary.
Click on one of the orientation icons, if applicable.
Select your original image type and how you want it scanned as the Image Type setting.

If scanning an original in a carrier sheet or other special original, see the link at the end of this section for other setting requirements for special documents.
