You can diagnose some problems by checking the scanner’s 
lights.

The EPSON Scan software offers three scanning modes:
❏ Home Mode makes scanning quick and easy, and provides 

excellent results for all types of documents. Use when 
advanced control over image quality settings is not required.

❏ Office Mode is ideal for scanning business documents 

containing text or graphics, with or without color. Choose 
this mode to scan multi-page documents on the optional 
automatic document feeder, or when scanning for OCR 
(optical character recognition) to create editable text. 

❏ Professional Mode gives you the greatest control over image 

color and quality. Lets you manually adjust any setting, 
including the histogram setting, tone, color depth, balance, 
saturation, brightness, and contrast.

You can open EPSON Scan from any TWAIN-compliant 
imaging application, such as Photoshop Elements (included 
with the scanner); this lets you scan images into the 
application. Or you can use EPSON Scan in “standalone” 
mode to scan directly to a file on your computer’s hard drive.

Follow these steps to position a photo or single-page document 
for scanning. (If you want to scan several photos at a time, a 
multi-page document, or film or slides, see the User’s Guide.)

1. Raise the scanner cover and place the document face down 

on the document table. Place it in the upper-left corner, 
aligning it with the edges of the glass.

2. Close the cover, being careful not to move the document.

Tip: If the edges of the document don’t scan, move it in 
about 1/16 of an inch (1.5 mm) from the edges of the glass.

You can raise or remove the document cover if you need to 
scan a thick item—such as a photo in an album—that 
doesn’t fit under the cover. Simply lift the back of the cover 
straight up. When you reattach the cover, line up the hinge 
pins with the positioning holes and lower the cover into 
place. 

Ready light is on 
or flashing.

The green Ready light is on when the scanner is 
ready to scan. It flashes when scanning is in 
progress.

Error and Ready 
lights are both 
off.

Make sure your scanner is connected to a working 
outlet, then press the 

.

 power button. 

Error and Ready 
lights are both 
on.

The scanner has received an incorrect command 
from your scanner software. Try scanning again. If 
the problem persists, try reinstalling your scanner 
software.

Error and Ready 
lights are both 
flashing.

If you’re using the automatic document feeder, 
there may be a paper jam. Clear any jammed paper, 
then close any open covers.
If this doesn’t solve the issue, there may be a 
problem with the fluorescent lamp, or another 
problem. Contact Epson as described in the User’s 
Guide.
