Selecting a Scan Size - Professional Mode  
You can reduce or enlarge the size of your image as you scan. You can also select a specific scan size,  
such as a common photo size like 4 × 6 inches (102 × 152 mm). This places a scan area of that size on  
the preview image so you can use it to help crop the image in the correct proportions.  
1. Click the Preview button to preview your image.  
2. In the Epson Scan window, select the size you want your scanned image to be from the Target Size  
list.  
Note: If you need to rotate the orientation of the target size for your image, click the

3. Do the following, as necessary, to work with the selected scan area:  
• To move the marquee, click inside the scan area and drag the marquee where you want it.  
• To resize the scan area, place your cursor over the edge or corner of the marquee, then click and  
drag the edge where you want it.  
Note: Manually adjusting the marquee will not change the size of the scanned file. The marquee  
only indicates the area of the image that will be scanned.

Scan Resolution Guidelines  
If you plan to enlarge a scanned image so you can print it at a larger size, you may need to increase the  
resolution from the default resolution set by Epson Scan. Follow these guidelines to determine the  
resolution setting you need:  
• You will enlarge the image as you scan it.  
If you will enlarge the image using Epson Scan's Target Size setting (Home and Professional modes  
only), you do not need to increase the Resolution setting.  
• You will scan the image at its original size, but enlarge it later in an image-editing program.  
Increase Epson Scan's Resolution setting in your scan. Increase the resolution by the same amount  
you will increase the image size to retain a high image quality. For example, if the resolution is 300 dpi  
(dots per inch) and you will double the image size later, change the Resolution setting to 600 dpi.  
• You will scan the image at 100% or smaller size.  
Select Epson Scan's Resolution setting based on how you will use the scanned image:  
• E-mail/view on a computer screen/post on the web: 96 to 150 dpi  
• Print/convert to editable text (OCR): 300 dpi  
• Fax: 200 dpi

Purchase Epson Ink Cartridges  
You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper at Epson Supplies Central at www.epson.com/ink3  
(U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales). You can also purchase supplies from an Epson  
authorized reseller. To find the nearest one, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766).  
Note: We recommend that you use genuine Epson cartridges and do not refill them. The use of other  
products may affect your print quality and could result in printer damage.  
The cartridges included with the printer are designed for printer set up and not for resale. After some ink  
is used for priming, the rest is available for printing. Yields vary considerably based on images printed,  
print settings, paper type, frequency of use, and temperature. For print quality, a variable amount of ink  
remains in the cartridge after the "replace cartridge" indicator comes on.

Ripple Patterns Appear in an Image  
You may see a ripple pattern (called a moiré) in scanned images of printed documents. This is caused  
by interference from differing pitches in the scanner's screen and your original's halftone screen. To  
reduce this effect, adjust these Epson Scan settings (if available) and try scanning again:  
• Select the Descreening setting.  
• Select a lower Resolution setting.

Image is Scanned Upside-Down  
Your product scans using the Auto Photo Orientation setting. This setting checks the preview image  
for faces, the sky, and other features, and then correctly rotates the photo when it is scanned, if  
necessary. If your photo is not oriented correctly using this option, deselect the Auto Photo Orientation  
setting and scan again.

Scanned Image Colors Do Not Match Original Colors  
Printed colors can never exactly match the colors on your computer monitor because printers and  
monitors use different color systems: monitors use RGB (red, green, and blue) and printers typically use  
CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black).  
Check the color matching and color management capabilities of your computer, display adapter, and the  
software you are using to see if they are affecting the palette of colors you see on your screen.  
To adjust the colors in your scanned image, adjust these Epson Scan settings (if available) and try  
scanning again:  
• Change the Image Type setting and experiment with different combinations of the next settings.  
• Adjust the Tone Correction setting.  
• Adjust the Auto Exposure setting.
