Getting The Most From Your Scanner; Managing Color - Epson EXPRESSION 10000XL Start Manual

Getting the Most from
Your Scanner
Your scanner includes various features that enable you to create
professional, high-quality scans. It also includes bonus software such as
Adobe Photoshop Elements and ABBYY FineReader Sprint (described in
your User's Guide), MonacoEZcolor (see below), and LaserSoft Imaging
Silverfast (Photo version of the scanner only).
Note: For detailed instructions, see the electronic manual for each software
application. The SilverFast CD-ROM also contains useful QuickTime ®
tutorials. Some software may not be compatible with Windows Vista.

Managing Color

You can use MonacoEZcolor to calibrate your scanner and ensure that
printouts of scanned images closely match the originals. In this example, a
color profile is created for scanning reflective (paper) documents. If you are
planning to work with positive film or slides, you will also have to create a
profile for scanning transparencies.
Note: You can also use MonacoEZcolor to create profiles for your printer,
monitor, and digital camera. For details, see the on-screen guide included
with the software.
