User manual EPSON EXPRESSION HOME XP-323

[. . . ] If this equipment does cause interference to radio and television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures. s s s s Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Warning The connection of a non-shielded equipment interface cable to this equipment will invalidate the FCC Certification of this device and may cause interference levels which exceed the limits established by the FCC for this equipment. [. . . ] For example, use a scanning resolution up to 100 dpi with a 300 dpi laser printer, and up to 200 dpi with a 600 dpi laser printer. For 1440 dpi ink jet printers, such as the EPSON Stylus® COLOR series, use a scanning resolution of up to 300 dpi. Try a scanning resolution of 240 dpi for 720 dpi printing. Keep the following in mind when you choose a resolution: s The higher the resolution you select, the larger the resulting image file will be. For example, an 8. 5 × 11-inch original scanned at 300 dpi can produce a 24MB file. The same original scanned at 72 dpi creates only a 1. 3MB file. Large files take longer to process and print, so consider the practical limitations of your computer system and hard disk drive when selecting a resolution. To keep your file size manageable, select the lowest possible resolution that gives acceptable quality. (If your final output is for on-screen viewing, you can scan at 72 dpi and reduce your file size. ) If you need to scan at a higher resolution, you can reduce the size of the resulting image file by scanning only part of the image. For information about selecting part of an image, see "Using Marquees" in your electronic EPSON TWAIN Pro User's Guide or "Framing" in your electronic LaserSoft SilverFast Lite User's Guide. s 31 Scaling (Resizing) Images If you plan to enlarge your image, it's better to enlarge it by scanning at a higher resolution rather than adjusting resolution in your application. Each time you modify an image, you lose some image quality. Position the document so the horizontal and vertical edges are carefully aligned with the scales on the top and right side of the document table. Be careful not to move the document. You can remove the document cover if you need to scan a thick item--such as a photo in an album--that doesn't fit under the cover. For details, see "Scanning Oversized Documents" in your electronic EPSON Expression 800 Reference Guide. 35 Beginning Your Scan Scans are always performed from within a host application (the application into which you plan to import the scanned image or document). You have to start this application before you can access your scanner software. Once you've selected your scanner driver, continue with the instructions under "Scanning with EPSON TWAIN Pro" below or "Scanning with LaserSoft SilverFast Lite" on page 38. If you're using LaserSoft SilverFast 4. 0 as your scanner driver, see the electronic manual on the LaserSoft SilverFast 4. 0 CD-ROM for instructions (Artist and Professional models only). Scanning with EPSON TWAIN Pro 1. Start your host application (for example, Adobe Photoshop 5. 0 LE). (Unless you change your source, you only need to do this step once. ) For example, if you're running Windows and using Adobe Photoshop 5. 0 LE as your host application, choose Select TWAIN_32 Source. In the Select Source dialog box, select EPSON TWAIN Pro(32-bit). If you have a Macintosh, click File, Import, Twain Select. In the Select a source dialog box, choose EPSON TWAIN Pro and click OK. The command you choose from the File menu differs from one host application to another. [. . . ] See the installation instructions beginning on page 21. 64 If your scanned image is faint or has gaps. . s If your scanned image is blurred or distorted. Decrease the software or driver's brightness setting. If the document is damaged, dirty, or wrinkled, these imperfections will show up in your scan. s s Check the position and condition of your document. [. . . ]
