In the application, open EPSON TWAIN 5.

In the EPSON TWAIN Manual mode window, select Document Source, Image Type, and Destination, and then click the Full Preview button. The image is previewed in the Preview window on the right side of the Manual mode window.

Make additional image adjustment in the Preview window, and then click the Scan button. The image is scanned.

Save the scanned image.

Note:

You can operate EPSON TWAIN in the same way on both Windows and Macintosh. This guide explains the operation procedure using Windows examples.
