provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not

installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference

to radio or television reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference will

not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio

and television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and

on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the

following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

WARNING

The connection of a non-shielded equipment interface cable to this equipment will

invalidate the FCC Certification of this device and may cause interference levels which

exceed the limits established by the FCC for this equipment. It is the responsibility of

the user to obtain and use a shielded equipment interface cable with this device. If this

equipment has more than one interface connector, do not leave cables connected to

unused interfaces.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Epson America, Inc., could void

the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Introduction

The Epson

ES-8OOC is a true 400 dpi full-color flatbed image

scanner with an

8J4

x 11 inch (letter) size scanning area. It has

the ability to scan in color (24 bit) or gray-scale monochrome

(8 bit), making it ideal for virtually all uses, from simple

drawings to complex full-color illustrations.

The ES-800C has a bidirectional parallel interface and a SCSI

(Small Computer System Interface). For either interface, you

need an optional Epson interface kit to connect the scanner to

your computer.

For the bidirectional interface, use Epson’s Bidirectional

Parallel Interface Kit for DOS Computers (BIDIDOS). For the

SCSI, use either Epson’s Interface Kit for Macintosh

Computers (ESMAC) or Epson’s SCSI Kit for DOS Computers

(SCSIDOS), depending on which computer you have.

Automatic Document Feeder (B813011)

This option is designed primarily for optical character

recognition (OCR) scanning. With software that supports the

ES-8OOC and OCR, you can stack up to 50 pages in the

automatic document feeder and scan them automatically. You

can then use them in a word processing program just as if you

had typed them yourself.

Transparency Unit (B813021)

This option allows you to scan transparent materials, primarily

35mm slides and negatives, in 24bit color.

Introduction 1
