Epson Scanner: Scanning a Photo (Mac)

Epson Perfection Photo Color Scanners are available for check out. 

NOTE: Epson software is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux Operating Systems.

Steps to scan photos using the Epson Scanner

1. Connect the scanner power cable to the scanner and plug into a power outlet. Connect the scanner USB cable to the scanner and the other end to a USB port on the computer. 

2. Push the grey power button on the side of the scanner. A little green light will appear on the front of the scanner. 

3. Open the scanner cover and place your photo  face-down on the scan bed. Close the cover.  

 4. On the computer screen, double-click the EPSON Scan icon to open the software.   

5. The EPSON Scan software window will open.   You're settings should be similar to those in the image below. I went with 1200dpi, but you can go higher or lower. The higher you go, the longer the scanning time. I'd suggest looking at one of your images after scanning and determine the quality. At the bottom you see the default image format, the default file naming, and the location where the digitized files will be sent. Feel free to leave them as is or change them. NOTE: Saving directly to a flash drive can be slow. I suggest saving to the computer, then moving the files to a flash drive.  

6. After placing your image(s) on the glass, click on Preview.

7. You'll see the following image noting that the preview scan is in progress. 

8. You'll see a preview of your image. You can increase the view size using the slide bar (circled in yellow). You can click on the icons circled in red to rotate or flip the image horizontally. 

9. When ready, click on the Scan button. You'll then get a message that the image is being scanned. 

10. After the scanning is done the folder where your image is being saved to will open up. My image is being saved to the Pictures folder.

If you have more images to scan, just repeat the process from Step 6. If not, you're all done!
