The scanner is connect to the PC in the mail room. Both the software Photoshop and Acrobat can be used to import the scanned document. The procedures are almost the same. In the following procedures are based on Acrobat.
- Put the document face down on the panel of the scanner. Make sure that the right-upper corner of the face-downed document is aligned to the right-upper corner of the scanner panel.
- Double click the icon "Use for PDF scanning" to open Acrobat.
- Choose the submenu "Import" from the menu "File.
- Choose the subsubmenu "Scan...". A window will popup. Click the button "Scan". Wait for a few seconds to let the scanner warm up and pre-scan the document.
The right panel of the "EPSON TWAIN 5 window is the scanned document. The left panel shows options and buttons to adjust the scanning process.
You can use the button just above the "Preview" button to adjust the scanning area. Once you click this button, an rectangle with dashed border will show up in the right panel of the EPSON TWAIN 5 window. Move the mouse over the dashed border. The shape of the mouse will change to a bar, both end of which is an arrow. Press the left-button of the mouse and drag the mouse to adjust the size of the rectangle. Make sure the size of the scanned document as small as possible. Click Preview button to update the scanning result.
Once you select the scanning area, you can press the "Scan" button to get the final version of the scanned document.
- An window will popup and ask you if you want to scan next page. If you want to scan next page, then remove the first page from the scanner panel and put the second page on the scanner panel. If you finish scanning, then you can press the "done".
- Select the submenu "Save AS ..." to save the scanned document. From the popup window, you can choose the "Save as type" (e.g. pdf, eps, jpg, etc.). The default file type is pdf (if you use Acrobat to import scanned document).
Occasionally, you need to adjust the scanning parameters (e.g. Image Type, Destination, and Resolution). You can click the "Help" button on the left-hand-side panel of the EPSON TWAIN 5 window. The following is a rough guideline.
| DOCUMENT TYPE | IMAGE TYPE | DESTINATION |
|---|---|---|
| Text only document or line-drawing (without color) | Text/Line Art | EPSON Stylus Printer (FINE) |
| Magazines or Catalogs in black & white | Black & White Document | EPSON Stylus Printer (FINE) |
| Magazines or Catalogs in color | Color Document | EPSON Stylus Printer (FINE) |
| Color Photos | Color Photo | EPSON Stylus Printer (Photo) |
