How To

Choose the Appropriate Scanning Mode

Changing the scanning mode

EPSON Scan provides four scanning modes: Full Auto Mode, Home Mode, Office Mode, and Professional Mode.

Full Auto Mode:
Full Auto Mode makes scanning simple, freeing you from complex settings or adjustments.

Home Mode:
Home Mode enables you to scan images easily by selecting a few basic settings while viewing the preview image.

Office Mode:
Office Mode is helpful when you need to scan a large number of documents with the same size, using the optional Automatic Document Feeder. You can scan documents easily and quickly without preview in this mode.

Professional Mode:
Professional Mode gives you greater control over scanning. You can sharpen, correct, or enhance your images before scanning them.

The following table indicates the mode to use for various purposes.
