How To Scan

5. Click the

Preview

button.

You see a preview of your
scan in the window that
opens.

6. Click the

Auto Locate

button to automatically
define the scan area around
the edges of your image.
Or adjust the scan area by
positioning the mouse
pointer over any of the
eight boxes around the
marquee’s edge and
dragging the box to resize
the marquee.

Click the

Auto Exposure

button to automatically set the highlight,

midtones, and shadow exposure.

Generally it’s a good idea to use the Auto Exposure button to obtain the
best settings for your scan. If you’re not satisfied with the results, see
your electronic EPSON Expression 1680 Reference Guide for information
about adjusting settings.

If you need to remove color cast from your image, use the Gray Balance
Intensity feature.

7. When you’ve finished making adjustments, click the

Scan

button.

The

READY

light on the front of the scanner flashes while it’s scanning. In a few

moments, a scanned image is imported into your host application’s window.

(If the

READY

light continues to blink, it may indicate an error condition. See

Chapter 7, “Solving Problems,”

for more information.)

8. Click

Close

to close the EPSON TWAIN Pro window and return to your

application.

9. If you want, save your image using the Save or Save As options from the File

menu of your host application.

A dotted
marquee
frames the
area to be
scanned.

Click to define
the scan area
automatically.
