Starting a Scan With Another Scanning Program
You can use any TWAIN-compliant scanning program, such as Adobe Photoshop
Elements or ArcSoft PhotoImpression, to scan with your scanner. You open the program,
select Epson Scan as your scanning program, and scan. When you are finished, the
scanned image opens in your scanning program so you can modify, print, and save it.
1. Place your document or photo on the scanner. See "Setting Your Originals" on page
129 for instructions.
2. Start your scanning program.
Double-click the program icon from your desktop, if it is available, or do one of the
following:
Windows:
Select Start > All Programs or Programs > program folder > program icon .
Mac OS X:
Open the Applications folder, select the program folder, and click the program icon.
3. Do one of the following:
Photoshop Elements and other programs:
Open the File menu and select Import or Acquire .
PhotoImpression:
Open the File menu and select Get Photo , then select Camera/Scanner .
4. Select your scanner.
In some programs, you must select the scanner as the “source” first. If you see a Select
Source option, choose it and select your scanner there first.
Note for Windows XP users:
Do not choose a WIA option for your scanner from the Import or Acquire list; your scanner will
not work correctly.
Epson Scan starts automatically. For instructions on using it, see "Selecting Epson
Scan Settings" on page 139.
