Improving Scan Speed; Troubleshooting The Parallel Port (Windows 98/95); Printing Or Scanning Speed Is Slow - Epson Stylus Scan 2000 User Manual

Clearing a document jam
Turn off your Stylus Scan. Open the top cover and remove the
jammed paper. If any applications are still running, turn them off
before turning off the Stylus Scan.

Improving scan speed

The best way to improve the speed of your scans is to make sure
ECP mode is enabled on your system. This is a system-level
setting, so if you want to change it, contact the manufacturer of
your computer.
Always use the lowest Resolution (dpi setting) possible that will
still give good image quality. A higher dpi setting may not always
increase the quality of a scan, but significantly slows down your
computer and requires more disk space to save the image.

Troubleshooting the Parallel Port (Windows 98/95)

Printing or scanning speed is slow

Make sure the ECP mode is turned on in your computer's BIOS.
For details, see your computer's documentation.
If the ECP mode is enabled in BIOS and printing and scanning are
still slow, the ECP hardware (a component inside your computer
which processes the ECP protocol) is malfunctioning. When the
Stylus Scan's ECP port driver senses a problem in the ECP
hardware, the driver switches to software processing of the ECP
protocol to protect your data. Software processing is secure, but
much slower than hardware processing.
