Scanning Area or Direction Is Not Correct

❏ When placing the originals on the scanner glass, align the corner of the original with the corner indicated by a
symbol on the frame of the scanner glass. If the edges of the scanned image are cropped off, move the original
slightly away from the corner.
❏ Clean the scanner glass and the document cover. If there is dust or stains on the glass, the scanning area may
extend to include the dust or stains, resulting in the wrong scanning position or small images.
❏ When you place multiple originals on the scanner glass to scan them separately, but they are scanned onto a
single file, place the originals at least 20 mm (0.8 inch) apart. If the problem continues, place one original at a
time.
❏ When scanning from the control panel, set the scan area correctly.
❏ When scanning using the thumbnail preview in EPSON Scan, move the original 4.5 mm (0.18 inch) away from
the edges of the scanner glass. In other situations, move the original 1.5 mm (0.06 inch) away from the edges of
the scanner glass.
❏ When using the thumbnail preview for a large original in Professional Mode, the scanning area may not be
correct. When previewing in EPSON Scan, create marquees of the area you want to scan on the Normal tab in
the Preview window.
❏ Click Configuration in EPSON Scan, and then clear Auto Photo Orientation on the Preview tab.
❏ If Auto Photo Orientation in EPSON Scan does not work as intended, see the EPSON Scan help.
❏ When scanning with EPSON Scan the available scanning area may be restricted if the resolution setting is too
high. Lower the resolution or adjust the scanning area in the Preview window.
