Page 2: What You Should Know
This booklet shows you how easy it is. Inside, you’ll find the basics of how a scanner works and see samples of scanned images. Useful tips address common questions, such as how to determine the right scanning resolution or make fine adjustments. - Page 3 CANNER You hold this type of scanner in your hand and run it over the image. The scan head is limited in size, usually just four inches wide, so you have to piece together wider images using your software.
- Page 4 One of the most versatile scanners for general office use is the flatbed scanner. Scanning an image on a flatbed scanner is a lot like using a photocopier. Here’s how it works: You place your document (a photo, book, or any image that you want to scan) face-down on the glass and close the cover.

- Page 6 For color reading, the scanner divides the various colors in the image into three primary colors: red, green, and blue. Epson’s powerful 24-bit color scanners devote 8 bits/pixel to each of the three colors, so the scanner can represent over 16 million colors.
- Page 7 ESOLUTION Resolution determines how many pixels, or dots, are used for scanning and reproducing an image. As the resolution value increases, the scanner reads and reproduces the image in finer detail. You might hear resolution described in terms of dots per inch (dpi), or pixels per inch (ppi).

Epson scanners use interpolation to double the scanner’s native resolution, so our 300 dpi scanners achieve apparent resolutions of up to 600 dpi, and our 400 dpi scanners attain resolutions of up to 800 dpi.

Page 11: Adjusting The Image
DJUSTING THE MAGE Most scanning software offers a common group of scanning settings to help you get the results you want. Many also provide a preview function that lets you see a sample of what the finished scan will look like and check the settings. You may have to experiment a few times to get the results you want, but you’ll soon be adept at making minor adjustments to fine-tune your scanned image. - Page 12 ONFIGURING REAT ESULTS Adding a scanner to your system requires a bit of muscle in your other components.
