How to Scan

This section gives you an overview of the scanning process and some tips for getting

the best scan. It also includes step-by-step scanning instructions.

Scanning an image allows you to reproduce it many times with little or no loss of

quality. You can also enlarge, reduce, or change the color of the image without

affecting your original.

Scans are performed from within a host application (the application into which you

plan to import the scanned image or document, such as PictureWorks HotShots).

You have to start this application before you can access your scanner software. Once

you've started your application, you need to select the scanner "source" you want to

scan with. Your EPSON Perfection 610 scanner comes with the EPSON TWAIN

driver. You need to select this driver as the source in your application.

You need to select the appropriate application for what you are scanning. Some

examples of scans are shown in the following table.
