Overview of the EPSON Scan Modes
EPSON Scan lets you control all aspects of scanning and includes four modes:
Full Auto Mode is best when you need to scan documents or photos at 100% size and you do not need to preview the images before scanning. You can restore faded colors by clicking the Customize button.
Home Mode is best when you want to preview images of photos, film, or slides before scanning them. You can size the image as you scan, adjust the scan area, and adjust many image settings, including color restoration and Digital ICE (film and slides only).
Professional Mode is best when you want to preview your image and make extensive, detailed corrections to it before scanning. You can sharpen, color correct, and enhance your image with a full array of tools, including color restoration, Dust Removal, Digital ICE, and Digital ICE Lite (film and slides only).
Selecting File Save Settings
When you see the File Save Settings window, you need to select the location, name, and format of the scanned image file you want to save.
 |
In the File Save Settings window, specify the file folder in which you want to save your scanned image. Click Browse (Windows) or Choose (Macintosh) and select the folder.
|
 |
Specify a file name prefix with an alphanumeric character string. A 3-digit number is automatically added to the file name, but you can change the Start Number if you like. If you are scanning multiple images at once, each image will receive a different 3-digit number.

Explanation
|
|
BITMAP (*.BMP) (Windows only)
|
A standard image file format for Windows. Most Windows programs, including word processing programs, can read and prepare images in this format.
|
|
JPEG (*.JPG)
|
A compressed file format in which the compression level can be selected. The JPEG format lets you highly compress image data. However, the higher the compression, the lower the image quality. Any lost image quality data cannot be restored and the quality deteriorates each time the data is saved. The TIFF format is recommended when modification and retouching are required.
|
|
Multi-TIFF (*.TIF)
|
A TIFF format where multiple pages are saved to the same file. When you scan documents or photos using the optional Automatic Document Feeder, they are all stored in the same file. (With other formats, each document is saved in a separate file.) You can also edit the images before saving them. To open Multi-TIFF files, you need a program that supports it.
|
|
PDF (*.PDF)
|
A document format that can be read on both Windows and Macintosh systems (platform independent). To use PDF documents, you need Adobe Reader® or Acrobat.® Multi-page documents can be saved as one PDF file. When you save color or grayscale images in PDF, you can select a compression level. You can also edit the scanned images before saving them. See Scanning Directly to a PDF File for details.
|
|
PICT (*.PCT) (Macintosh only)
|
A standard image file format for Macintosh. Most Macintosh programs, including word processing programs, can read and prepare images in this format.
|
|
PRINT Image Matching II JPEG (*.JPG) or TIFF (*.TIF)
|
A file format that includes PRINT Image Matching II data for enhanced | |
