Solving Problems

Cannot Preview in Thumbnail

❏ When placing multiple originals on the scanner glass, make sure there is a gap of at least 20 mm (0.79 in.)
between the originals.
❏ Check that the original is placed straight.
❏ Depending on the original, such as when scanning Medium format (120/120) film or 4×5 inch film, previewing
may not be performed in Thumbnail. In this situation, clear the Thumbnail check box at the top of the preview
window to preview the entire scanned area, and then create marquees manually.

Cannot Achieve the Results Intended in Auto Photo Orientation

❏ Small photos are not rotated automatically.
❏ Film that is placed with the top and bottom inversed is not rotated automatically.
❏ Photos and film for which the top and bottom cannot be detected are not rotated automatically. Rotate
manually using the Rotate button.

❏ On the Image Format Options window in Epson Scan 2, check that Text Language is set correctly on the Text
