Scanning Software Does Not Operate Correctly
If your scanning software does not operate correctly, try these solutions:
• Make sure your computer has adequate memory and meets the system requirements for your
operating system.
• Make sure your computer is not running in a power-saving mode, such as sleep or standby. If so,
wake your system and restart your scanning software.
• If you upgraded your operating system but did not reinstall your scanning software, try reinstalling it.
• In Windows, make sure your product is listed as a valid device in the Scanners and Cameras control
panel.
• Try scanning at a lower resolution or increase the free space on the computer's hard disk. Scanning
stops if the total data size reaches the limit.
• Use the Epson Scan 2 Utility on your computer to reset the scanner software settings. If resetting the
settings does not solve the problem, uninstall and reinstall the scanner software.

resolution.
