Scanning Using the Automatic Document Feeder

Starting a Scan With EPSON Scan

If you want to scan a document and save it directly to a file, you
can start EPSON Scan as a “standalone” program.

1. Place the first page of your document in the ADF input tray.

See "Loading Documents in the Automatic Document Feeder"
on page 24 for instructions.

Note:

Do not open the ADF while you are scanning or you will see an
ADF error message and paper feeding will stop.

2. Do one of the following to start EPSON Scan:

Windows:

Double-click the

EPSON Scan

icon on your desktop.

Or select

Start > All Programs

Programs > EPSON Scan

> EPSON Scan

Mac OS X:

Applications

folder and click the

EPSON Scan

icon.
