Using the Scanner as a Copier

You can use your scanner along with a printer connected to your computer just like you would use a copy machine. You can even enlarge and reduce, restore faded colors, enhance text, and adjust image brightness and contrast as you copy.

Place your original document or photo on the scanner. See Placing Documents or Photos.

Start the EPSON Copy Utility in one of these ways:

  • Windows:
    Click Start > Programs or All Programs > EPSON Creativity Suite > Copy Utility > EPSON Copy Utility.

  • Mac OS X:
    Open the Applications > EPSON > Creativity Suite > Copy Utility folders and double-click the EPSON Copy Utility icon.

    You see the Copy Utility window:

Select your scanner from the Scanner list at the top of the window.

Select your printer from the Printer list.

Click the Source Type box, select the type of document you are copying, and click OK. See the table below for guidance:

    Source Type setting

    Type of document

    Color Document (Single Page)

    One-page color document containing text or text and graphics, such as a flyer.

    Black & White Document (Single Page)

    One-page black and white document containing text or text and graphics, such as a letter.

    Color Document (Multiple Pages)

    Multiple page color document containing text or text and graphics, such as a brochure.

    Black & White Document (Multiple Pages)

    Multiple page black and white document containing text or text and graphics, such as a manual.

Click the Output Paper box, select the type and size of paper you loaded in your printer, and click OK.


Note:

If you are printing on certain Epson printers, you see the printer settings window. See your printer documentation for instructions on selecting settings.

If you want to enlarge or reduce your image as you copy it, click the Copy Size box, select the enlargement/reduction, and click OK.


Note:

If you are printing on an Epson printer that supports borderless printing, you can select options for Margins (borders) or No Margins (borderless).

If you are copying a faded photo and want to restore the colors, click the Color Restoration checkbox. (It is available only when the Source Type is Photo.)

If you are copying a color or black-and-white document, you can improve the definition of text and line art by leaving the Text Enhancement checkbox checked. (It is available only when the Source Type is one of the Document options.)

If you need to adjust the lightness or darkness of your original or adjust the contrast between them as you copy, click the slider beneath the Brightness and/or Contrast settings. (Contrast is only adjustable when the Source Type is Photo.)

Click the arrow in the Number of Copies box to select the number of copies you want, if necessary.

When you are ready to scan and print, click the Copy button.


Note:

If you want to preview your scan before printing it or make additional copy settings, click the Custom Copy button at the bottom of the window. Click Help in the Copy Utility for instructions on using the Custom Copy features.
