Introduction

The EPSON

Scanning Utilities let you perform the following

functions with your EPSON scanner:

Calibrate your scanner to your monitor and your printer

Capture scanned images from within your application

Automatically locate, expose, and scan an image

Adjust individual settings and preview the effects before

you scan

Choose single- or triple-pass scanning

Save and reuse scanning settings that work well in your

environment

Take advantage of the multipage scanning feature available

with scanners that have an automatic document feeder

(ADF)

Take advantage of the text enhancement technology built

into some EPSON scanners.

The EPSON Scanning Utilities are composed of two integrated

main programs: EPSON Scan! II and EFSON TWAIN. EPSON

Scan! II calibrates your scanner with your monitor and color

printer to produce images in colors that closely match the

originals. It can also capture images and then save and export

them in a variety of file formats.

EPSON TWAIN is the interface between most of your software

and your scanner. TWAIN has two screens: easy and

advanced. You can access either screen from within any

software that supports the TWAIN standard or from EPSON

Scan! II to take advantage of your scanner’s features.
