If you want to scan a document and save it directly to a file, you can start EPSON Scan as a “standalone” program.

Place your document in the ADF input tray. See Loading Documents in the Automatic Document Feeder for instructions.

Note:

Do not open the ADF while you are scanning or you will see an ADF error message and paper feeding will stop.

Do one of the following to start EPSON Scan:

Windows:
Double-click the EPSON Scan icon on your desktop.

Or select Start > All Programs or Programs > EPSON Scan > EPSON Scan.

Mac OS X:
Open the Applications folder and click the EPSON Scan icon.

EPSON Scan starts in Office Mode the first time you open it. If necessary, click the arrow in the Mode box at the top right of the EPSON Scan window and select Office Mode.

You see the Office Mode window:

For instructions on using Office Mode, see Selecting EPSON Scan Office Mode Settings for instructions.

If the Mode setting in the upper right corner of the window is set to Professional Mode, you see a different EPSON Scan settings window. For instructions on using Professional Mode, see Selecting Basic Settings.

Note:

To change scan modes, see Changing the Scan Mode.
