Available EPSON Scan Mode
EPSON Scan provides several scanning modes to choose from.
❏ Full Auto Mode lets you scan quickly and easily, without selecting any settings or previewing your image. The
document type is automatically detected and scan settings are optimized by EPSON Scan. This mode is useful
when you need to scan your originals at 100% size and you do not need to preview the images before scanning.
You can restore faded colors or remove dust marks in this mode. This is the default mode in EPSON Scan.
❏ Office Mode lets you quickly select settings for scanning text documents and check their effects with a preview
image. You can also select various image adjustment options and preview your scanned image.
❏ Home Mode lets you customize some scanning settings and check their effects with a preview image. This mode
is useful when you want to preview images of your originals before scanning them. You can adjust the size of the
image as you scan, the scan area, and various other image settings, including color restoration, dust removal,
and backlight correction.
❏ Professional Mode gives you total control of your scanning settings and allows you to check the effects with a
preview image. This mode is useful when you want to preview your image and make extensive, detailed
corrections before scanning. You can sharpen, correct colors, and enhance your image with a full array of tools,
including color restoration, dust removal, and backlight correction.
