Troubleshooting Common Issues

Scanner not detected:

  • Ensure the USB cable is firmly connected to both the scanner and computer.
  • Try using a different USB port on your computer.

Scanning not working properly:

  • Check if the scanner glass is clean. Dirt or dust can interfere with scanning.
  • Adjust the scanning settings to match the document or photo you’re scanning.
  • Check if the scanner is properly calibrated. Use the “Calibration” utility in the Epson Scan 2 software.

Scanned images are blurry:

  • Ensure the document or photo is flat against the scanner glass.
  • Adjust the scanning resolution to a higher setting.
  • Try using the “Dust Removal” feature in the Epson Scan 2 software to remove any dust or scratches from the image.

Scanned images are too dark or light:

  • Adjust the brightness and contrast settings in the Epson Scan 2 software.
  • Ensure the document or photo is not too thick or opaque for the scanner to detect properly.

Advanced Tips

  • Use the “Preview” function: Preview your scans before saving them to make sure they look as expected.
  • Create custom profiles: Save custom scanning profiles for different types of documents or photos to quickly apply preferred settings.
  • OCR (Optical Character Recognition): Enable OCR in the Epson Scan 2 software to convert scanned documents into editable text.
