To use this feature, you need to setup software. See Chapter 3 for more details. In a networked environment it starts the same operation as the Scan button in EPSON TWAIN Pro Network.
Options The following optional items are available to expand the versatility of your scanner. For detailed information on the use of these options, see Chapter 6 of this guide. Automatic Document Feeder (B81316 ) Designed primarily for optical character recognition (OCR) scanning, the Automatic Document Feeder allows you to scan up to 30 pages automatically, then use them in word processing programs, as if you had typed the text yourself.
Choosing a Place for the Scanner Follow the guidelines below when selecting a location for your scanner: Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface. The scanner will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle. Place the scanner close enough to the computer for the interface cable to reach it easily.
Page 27
550 mm 150 mm or more 133 mm* 562 mm 332 mm * When document cover is closed. Keep the scanner away from high temperatures, humidity and excessive dirt or dust. Also avoid using or storing the scanner in places subject to rapid changes of temperature and humidity.
Installing a SCSI Interface Board (SCSI Interface Users Only) Unless your computer already has a SCSI board installed, you need to install a SCSI board and SCSI software before installing the scanner driver and software applications. If you have a Macintosh that has a SCSI interface or if you already have a SCSI board installed in your PC or Macintosh, go to the next section.
Releasing the Transportation Lock Before connecting the scanner to a power source, you must release the transportation lock. 1. Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface with the back facing you. 2. Slide the transportation lock lever on the back of the scanner to the UNLOCK position, as shown below.
Plugging in the Scanner 1. Make sure that the scanner is turned off. The scanner is off when the P operate button is raised (not depressed). 2. If the power cord is not attached to the scanner, connect it to the AC inlet on the back of the scanner, and plug the other end into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
Initialization Before connecting the scanner to your computer, follow the steps below to make sure that the scanner is operating properly. 1. Open the document cover so you can see the operation of the scanner during initialization (startup). 2. Turn on the scanner by pressing the P operate button. 3.
Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer using the SCSI Interface For instructions on connecting the scanner to your computer using the SCSI interface, read this section. Note for Macintosh Users: Be sure to install the scanner software before connecting the scanner to your computer.
Understanding SCSI connections Read the following sections to determine how to set up your SCSI devices and whether you need any optional SCSI cables. Daisy Chain The SCSI interface allows you to connect up to seven devices (such as a scanner, hard disk, CD-ROM, and so on) to the computer, in what is called a “daisy chain”...
Setting the SCSI ID number The scanner's default SCSI ID number is 2. If you add the scanner to a system in which one of your SCSI devices already has a SCSI ID of 2, change the ID number to an unused number using the rotary switch.
Caution: Do not set the SCSI ID to an ID number that is already assigned to another device otherwise the computer, scanner, and other devices will not operate properly. Setting the terminator switch The scanner has a built-in terminator, which allows SCSI devices to communicate properly with each other.

Connecting the scanner Connect the scanner to your computer or to another SCSI device as follows: Note: The combination of connectors on the SCSI interface cable you need varies depending on the maker of your SCSI device and SCSI interface board.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the SCSI port of your computer or another SCSI device. Note: The SCSI port on the Macintosh is the larger port with the SCSI icon over it. 4. Plug in the power cords of your computer, scanner, and other external SCSI devices.
For Windows 95 or 98 users: The first time you turn on the computer after turning on the scanner, one of the following dialog boxes or similar may appear. If you see one of these, follow the installation instructions in Chapter 3, then see “Power-off sequence”...
While using your computer, do not turn off any SCSI device which has a terminator that is active (on). Do not turn the scanner off and back on while using your computer, otherwise the scanner may not work properly. When the connection is complete, you need to install the scanner software.
Page 41
In this case, try connecting the scanner directly to the computer’s USB port. Also, your system may not work properly if you use a USB cable other than that supplied by EPSON. 2-17 Setting Up the Scanner...
Connecting the scanner To connect the scanner to your computer or USB hub: Connect one end of the cable (Type B) to the USB port on the back of the scanner. 2. Connect the other end of the cable (Type A) to the USB port on your computer, or USB hub.
Connect the USB cable to your computer, then install or start the scanner software. Do not connect or disconnect the USB cable while the scanner software is open. Make sure no other interface is used. Installing the Scanner Software for Windows After setting up the scanner as described above, you need to install the scanner software before you use the scanner to scan documents.
Before installing the scanner software, make sure that your system meets the following requirements.
