Scanning With Epson Twain Pro - Epson Expression 1640XL Product Information

Scanning with EPSON TWAIN Pro

1. Start your host application (for example, Adobe Photoshop
LE).
2. Select your scanner driver. (Unless you change your source,
you only need to do this step once.)
For example, if you're running Windows and using Adobe
Photoshop LE as your host application, click File, Import,
Select TWAIN_32 Source. In the Select Source dialog
box, select EPSON TWAIN Pro(32-bit). Then click
Select.
If you have a Macintosh, click File, Import, Twain
Select. In the Select a source dialog box, choose EPSON
TWAIN Pro and click OK.
The command you choose from the File menu differs
from one host application to another. With other host
applications, you might choose Acquire or Select
Source instead of Import.
3. Open the scanner software.

Destination.
For example, if you're scanning a photograph, select
Flatbed as your Document Source, 24-bit Color (Std)
as your Image Type, and EPSON Stylus Printer
(Photo) as the Destination, if you're sending the scanned
image to an EPSON inkjet printer. If you're using the
optional transparency unit, select TPU for Neg. Film or
TPU for Pos. Film as your Document Source. If you're
using the optional automatic document feeder, select Auto
Document Feeder as your Document Source.

6. Click the Auto Locate button to automatically define
the scan area around the edges of your image. Or adjust the
scan area by positioning the mouse pointer over any of the
eight boxes around the marquee's edge and dragging the
box to resize the marquee.
Click the Auto Exposure button to automatically set
the highlight, midtones, and shadow exposure.
Generally it's a good idea to use the Auto Exposure
button to obtain the best settings for your scan. If you're
not satisfied with the results, see your electronic
EPSON TWAIN User's Guide for information about
adjusting settings.
If you need to remove color cast from your image, use
the Gray Balance Intensity feature.
7. When you've finished making adjustments, click the Scan
button.
The READY light on the front of the scanner flashes while
it's scanning. In a few moments, a scanned image is
imported into your host application's window.
(If the READY light continues to blink, it may indicate an
error condition. See page 3 for more information.)
8. Click Close to close the EPSON TWAIN Pro window and
return to your application.
9. If you want, save your image using the Save or Save As
options from the File menu of your host application.
