To adequately view an average-complexity color scan, the card or interface must support 256 colors, while high-quality, realistic color scans require a card supporting 16 million colors. A color monitor compatible with the card or interface you are using. Installing the SCSI Interface Card Follow the steps below to install the SCSI interface card in your computer. For additional information, see the manuals for your interface card and computer. If you are already using a SCSI adapter in your computer for other SCSI devices, such as an external hard disk, see Chapter I of the ES-1000C User's Guide for information on including the scanner in an existing SCSI daisy-chain. Note: Your SCSIadqter must be compatible with Adqtec EZ-SCSI software to use the EPSON Scanning Utilities that control your scanner. 1. 2. Turn off the computer and any peripheral devices.

Installing the EPSON Scanning Utilities The EPSON Scanning Utilities include EPSON Scan! II and EPSON TWAIN. Scan! uses TWAIN to capture images and then saves and exports these images in a variety of file formats. It also calibrates your scanner and output devices to produce images nearly identical to the originals. (A scanned color image never truly matches its original because scanned images are processed by a color system that is different from the process used to create original images.) EPSON TWAIN is a set of drivers designed to access your scanner's advanced features for any software that supports TWAIN. TWAIN drivers are an industry standard for acquiring image data from a variety of external sources without leaving your application program.
