Installing the Scanner
Unlock the carriage before installing the Automatic Document Feeder by turning the transportation lock counterclockwise.
Scanning with EPSON TWAIN HS
Follow the steps below to scan a document using EPSON TWAIN HS or EPSON TWAIN HS Network. 1. Start your host application (for example, Presto! PageManager or any other application that supports EPSON TWAIN HS). 2. Select your scanner source. (Unless you change your source, you only need to do this step once.) For example, if youre running Presto! PageManager as your host application, click File, then Select Source. In the Select Source dialog box, select EPSON TWAIN HS. Then click Select. If youre accessing a network scanner connected to another computer, select EPSON TWAIN HS Network as your input source and click OK.
You cant select EPSON TWAIN HS as your scanner source if youre using a network scanner and EPSON Scan Server is running. EPSON Scan Server disables EPSON TWAIN HS.

Transporting the Scanner

When you transport the scanner a long distance or store it for an extended time, follow the steps below to secure the carriage. 1. Turn on the scanner and wait until the carriage moves to the home position (the left side). 2. Turn off the scanner. 3. Press in and turn the transportation lock clockwise to the locked position to secure the carriage.
For example, choose Acquire from Presto! PageManagers File menu.
press in and turn locked position
The EPSON TWAIN HS main window appears.
If the scanner is inoperable, the carriage may not automatically return to the home position. If it doesnt, raise the right side of the scanner and hold it up until the carriage comes to rest at the left side. Then turn the transportation lock to the locked position.

3. Choose the Document Source and Image Type. For example, if youre scanning a photograph, select Flatbed as your Document Source and 24-bit Color (Std) as your Image Type. When using the ADF, choose ADF-Single-sided or ADFDouble-sided as your Document Source. 4. Click the Preview button. You see a preview of your scan in the window that opens.

EPSON GT-30000 - 5

If you are scanning multiple pages using the ADF, you do not need to Preview the document unless you want to scan only a portion of a document.

Using a Network Scanner

Network scanning involves the following steps: Two or more computers must be connected on the same network segment running TCP/IP protocol. The scanner server must be turned on and running EPSON Scan Server. From the client computer, start EPSON TWAIN HS Network to establish a connection to the scanner server. Only one client computer at a time can connect to the scanner server. (See Starting EPSON TWAIN HS Network on page 7 for instructions.) Choose your settings, and then place your document on the scanner or in the automatic document feeder. Start the scan. Although this can be done from EPSON TWAIN HS Network on the client computer, it may be more convenient to press the scanners Start button or to start the scan from the scanner server. A progress meter appears on both the scanner server and client computer as the image is pre-scanned, then scanned.

Marquee button Auto Locate button Auto Exposure button
5. Choose your scan settings. Click the Auto Locate button to automatically define the scan area around the edges of your image. You can also adjust the scan area by positioning the mouse pointer over the dotted line around the marquees edge and dragging the box to resize the marquee. Click the Auto Exposure button to automatically set the highlight and shadow exposures.
Generally its a good idea to use the Auto Exposure button to obtain the best settings for your scan. See your electronic EPSON GT-30000 Reference Guide for more information about choosing settings. If you need to remove color cast from your image, use the Gray Balance Intensity feature.
If you want to scan more than one image, place your second image on the document table and press the scanners Start button again. Repeat this step for every image you want to scan. (The settings you chose for the first image apply to these images too.)
The Start button is only available when you use EPSON TWAIN HS to access a scanner connected to your computer and you are running Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows 98. If you are running Windows 95 or Windows NT, the Start button is disabled.
When you return to the client computer, your scanned images appear in the host applications window. Close EPSON TWAIN HS Network to end your connection to the scanner server and allow other client computers to use the scanner.
When you press the Start button, some applications automatically close the client computers connection to the scanner server when the scan is finished. You cant use the Start button to scan multiple images if youre using these applications.

6. When youve finished making adjustments, click the Scan button. The READY light on the front of the scanner flashes while its scanning. In a few moments, a scanned image is imported into your host applications window. (If the READY light continues to blink, it may indicate an error condition. See page 4 for more information.) 7. Click Close to close the EPSON TWAIN HS or EPSON TWAIN HS Network window and return to your application. 8. If you want, save your image using the Save or Save As options from the File menu of your host application.

Starting EPSON Scan Server
EPSON Scan Server starts automatically whenever the scanner server is turned on. When EPSON Scan Server is running, youll see either the EPSON Scan Server dialog box, or the EPSON Scan Server icon on the Windows taskbar. If you need to start EPSON Scan Server manually, click Start, Programs, EPSON Scan Server, and then select EPSON Scan Server. You can quit EPSON Scan Server at any time. Just click the Exit button on the EPSON Scan Server dialog box. 3. Start EPSON TWAIN HS Network. If your host application is Presto! PageManager for EPSON, choose Acquire from the File menu. When EPSON TWAIN HS Network starts, the EPSON TWAIN HS Network main menu appears and you connect to the scanner server. Since the settings and controls for EPSON TWAIN HS Network are the same as those for EPSON TWAIN HS, see Scanning with EPSON TWAIN HS on page 5 for general scanning instructions. For more detailed information about settings, see the EPSON GT-30000 Reference Guide on your scanner software CD-ROM.

Starting a Scan

You can start a scan on your network scanner in several ways. However, the client computer must be running EPSON TWAIN HS Network to connect to the scanner server.

click to exit

Before you exit, make sure no client computers are trying to use the scanner. Dont exit if the status area of the EPSON Scan Server dialog box indicates that you are connecting to a client. Wait until you see the message Waiting for connection. If you installed EPSON TWAIN HS on the scanner server so that you could make a direct connection to the scanner, remember that you must exit EPSON Scan Server to use EPSON TWAIN HS. EPSON Scan Server disables EPSON TWAIN HS.
You can start EPSON TWAIN HS Network on the client computer from a host application, make your scan settings, and click the Scan button on the EPSON TWAIN HS Network main window. The scanned image is imported into your host applications window.

Starting EPSON TWAIN HS Network
You connect to the scanner server by starting EPSON TWAIN HS Network on your client computer. Follow these steps: 1. Start your host application. 2. Select EPSON TWAIN HS Network as your source, or scanner driver. (You only need to do this step once.) For example, if youre using Presto! PageManager for EPSON as your host application, choose Select Source from the File menu. In the Select Source window, choose EPSON TWAIN HS Network and click Select.
The command you choose from the File menu depends on the host application. With some applications, for example, you might choose Import or Select TWAIN_32 Source. click to start a scan from the scanner server
You can press the Start button on the scanner to send the scanned image to the client computer that is currently connected to the scanner server.

EPSON GT-30000 - 7

You can click the Start button on the EPSON Scan Server dialog box to send the scanned image to the client computer currently connected to the scanner server.
click to start a scan from the scanner server
Stopping a Scan in Progress
You can stop a scan in progress from either the client computer or the scanner server. To cancel a scan from the client computer, click the Cancel button on the Progress bar. To cancel from the scanner server, click the Cancel button at the bottom of the EPSON Scan Server dialog box. To break the connection between the client computer and the scanner server, click the Stop button on the EPSON Scan Server dialog box. This closes EPSON TWAIN HS Network on the client computer and allows other client computers to connect to the scanner server.
