3. Clean dust and smudges from the document table glass with a soft, dry cloth (a microfiber glass cleaning cloth is recommended). You can also use compressed air spray cleaner. 3. Place the scanner in its original box, or use equivalent packing materials. To remove grease, use pretreated lens or scanner wipes, or a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth. Dry the document table glass afterwards.

Caution: Never spray glass cleaner directly on the document table. Always spray it on a cloth first and then wipe the glass. Never use a harsh or abrasive brush or cleaning product to clean the document table. A damaged glass surface can decrease the scanning quality. Avoid leaving photos on the scanner glass for an extended period of time, or residue from the photos may adhere to the glass.

Scanning with EPSON Scan
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 computers hard drive.
